Marked by the Bear by Kimmie Easley

I run like there’s fire blazing under my bare feet. The blood hasn’t even dried on his knuckles, but it’ll be the last time I play dead. I just want to be swallowed up and disappear. My name is Ruby Bonet, and even the bayou isn’t big enough to hold some secrets.

I never asked to be a clan leader. Never wanted the headache. I’m perfectly content with my motley crew of three, a good lay from time to time, and a cold beer – always. Damn if it doesn’t look like the swamp holds other plans for Kingston Mercier.
