Bestselling historical fiction author Mia Evans is drowning in a sea of panic attacks and a soul-crushing writer’s block. Desperate to escape the prison of her Chicago life, she flees to the craggy mountains of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She expected rustic cabins and fresh air; she didn't expect to nearly mow down a brooding, sable-haired stallion of a man who looks at her with a gaze that peels away every one of her pretenses.
Cole Stewart, the alpha owner of the Black Elkhorn Lodge, has no time for flighty city girls. A Dominant who buried his heart a decade ago, he lives for the wild trails and the disciplined world of his private BDSM club. But when a series of mishaps leaves the delicate, teal-eyed author in his care, Cole’s protective—and possessive—instincts roar to life.
When a brutal snowstorm traps them alone in a remote mountain cabin, the simmering tension between them finally explodes. In the firelight, Cole introduces Mia to a world of exquisite surrender, using light bondage and a firm hand to shatter her anxieties and awaken a hunger she never knew existed.
But as the snow melts, Mia must face the ultimate question: can she ever truly compete with the ghost of the woman Cole once loved, or will their "untamed" affair have a final expiration date?

She remembers her mother saying if only she would read the right type of books instead of binging her way through the romance aisles at the bookstore, she’d have been a doctor. While Anya never did get that doctorate, she graduated cum laude from the University of Missouri-St. Louis with an M.A. in History.
Anya is a bestselling and award-winning author published in multiple fiction genres. She also writes urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and contemporary romance under the name Maggie Mae Gallagher.
