River Runs Wild-coming in Fall 2027 from Carina/Harlequin Romance!
Rip off your clothes and grow some fur, it’s time to get wet and wild—otter style!
Stuck in small-town, rural New York, recent college grad Em Cross is dead sure her life is at a dead end. Enter River, a young stranger who’s always in the water, and only appears at night. It’s not because he’s shy, and can’t ever find his shorts. He’s a lonely wereotter in need of a friend, and his sunshiny charm warms Em’s grumpy heart.
Soon, River and Em dive headfirst into a whirlwind romance. But before she can get to the bottom of his mysterious ways—and nonexistent shorts—trouble starts brewing. A massive otter is attacking locals, including Em’s friends, and all signs point to the handsome shifter.
River insists it’s another wereotter in trouble, but Em’s torn. She soon realizes she’s going to have to make an impossible choice: stay adrift in her ordinary life, or choose love, fish, and wild animal passion with a man who might be a dangerous predator in disguise.
