With the pain of past betrayals burying you, how do you learn to trust?
Sam learned at a young age to only rely on herself. It's safer that way. Because if anyone discovers she was an Earth Elemental, it would mean never having a home again. So, as much as the stunningly handsome Alpha might appeal to her, she can never risk more than just enjoying the view.
As Alpha, Hale has three priorities. Protect the Pack, stop anything escaping the Highland Rift Scar, and above all, never let anyone that's not a Shifter get too close. Especially when he'd already seen how it had torn apart his own family. Of course, that would be easier if being close to Sam didn't feel like coming home for the first time in years.
When the full moon hunt ends with Hale poisoned and stuck as a wolf, that distance becomes even harder to maintain. He soon discovers that someone is targeting the Pack, and by association, Sam. Something his wolf will not tolerate.
As the situation escalates, Sam is left with a hard choice. Keep her secret, and lose Hale. Or save him, and risk everything. But when her secret has already taken the lives of both her parents, that choice might not be in her hands.
Will they let the weight of their past betrayals bury them, or can they learn to trust each other? Find out in this first book in the Rift Bloodlines Paranormal Romance Series, Buried by Earth.
