Part of Feral Love
First published 2025
Claire Collins signs the contract on a Tuesday. Thirty days in the woods. Thirty thousand dollars in her account. All she has to do is let Shane Underwood hunt her. Post-divorce and drowning in student loan debt, the PE teacher figures a summer of primal, consensual kink beats picking up extra shifts waiting tables. The deal has a safe word. It has rules. What it does not have is a manual for who Shane becomes once the trees close in around them. The corporate lawyer she thought she knew turns feral out there. Brutal. Focused. Something close to dangerous. Claire can handle it. She is built for this, and she knows it. She runs, he chases, and the sex is exactly as wild as advertised. But thirty days is a long time to be caught over and over by the same man, and Claire starts to notice something she did not budget for. Every time Shane pins her down, she leaves a mark on him that has nothing to do with scratches. The hunt was supposed to be simple. It stops being simple fast.
