Hall, a Paranormal Romance author.\r\n\r\nI started as a reader, but I soon discovered a passion for every facet of romance. In 2017, I picked up the pen and never looked back. I write open-door romance, mostly PNR, though I also write a few contemporary romances. Every journey promises happiness ever after.\r\n\r\n My favorite books feature characters who aren't perfect and have room to grow, or a good mystery you can't solve quickly. I weave this love into every book, building intricate worlds where my characters shine. \r\n\r\nWhen I'm not dreaming up new worlds for readers, I'm with my husband and our two rescue dogs, Sammie and Jake, enjoying life's simple pleasures.\r\n\r\nWhether you like standalones or diving into a series, there's something for every romance reader.

Lacey Woodard came to New York to find fame and fortune, but instead found deceit and danger. Trapped in her polar bear form for the past six years in an illegal zoo, she finally escapes when authorities raid the place.

Living on the streets, Lacey has had to grow up fast. As winter approaches, she knows she needs to find shelter, but options are limited when you're homeless. Desperate, she attempts to pick a man's pocket as he enters The Borough's Lounge. But her plan is foiled when the man catches her in the act.

Xander Conti, manager of The Borough's Lounge, is taken aback when he feels someone trying to pick his pocket. Without hesitation, he is ready to defend himself. But when he sees a thin and dirty girl, his anger deflates. He grabs her arm, and an unexpected electric shock shoots through his body.

Feeling the shock as well, Lacey's inner polar bear says that Xander is their fated mate and he will protect them. But as their relationship grows, danger lurks in the shadows, threatening to tear them apart.
