Book 1 in the Animal Urges series.

City girl Abby Clumm wouldn't normally travel to remote cabins in Alaska alone. But expecting her Survivor-type friend to be arriving shortly, she reluctantly makes the journey to their rented cottage solo. She'll settle in for a quiet night before a toasty fire with a pot of coffee and a good book.

Unfortunately, things don't go as she plans—no real surprise, they never do—and she finds herself alone in the boonies, a shotgun she doesn't know how to use and a failing wooden door the only things standing between her and a very hungry animal outside.

Research scientist Tarik Evert has no idea what's wrong. He's suddenly driven by a need so urgent it's painful. The scent of a woman nearby beckons him, sends him staggering outside into the cold. And then somehow he's at her door, naked and shivering, not sure what just happened…or what is about to happen if she lets him inside. He only knows one thing—the hunger that brought him to her in the first place.

And that's just the beginning of their troubles…
