Gillian Locke has been beaten, battered, and bruised, but her ex-boyfriend still hasn't managed to break her. When she leaves Kyle for the last time, she knows the only way she'll ever be back in his grasp is over her dead body. On the run, her car disastrously breaks down in at the top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere. Stuck in a terrible snowstorm, Gillian figures it's better to die at the hands of nature, than at the hands of Kyle, her tormentor. Fighting the freezing cold, she stares death in the eye and presses on, until she happens upon a cabin in the woods, and is offered shelter by three gorgeous men who can't seem to get enough of her. The Bearclaw brothers are descendants of the ancient Anikota tribe of Indians. Their beast spirit and blessing from the Maker allows them the ability to sense the one who will complete their soul. Being triplets, they always expected their mate to be a woman they'd all share. With the Maker's blessing, they hope to ease past Gillian's defenses...before her past threatens to end their future.
