**Passion can be the ultimate sin��
Jade Stonetree has spent her entire life in the shadows of her family. Now that they�ve found their true loves and true callings, Jade is left behind, wondering where she really belongs.�
All the other young ursa who are born inside the Sanctuary take a pilgrimage into the human world when they come of age, but Jade grew up Outside. She�s seen the human world. Lived in it for her entire life. So instead she recruits a pair of young ursa males to give her a tour of her new home, under the pretense of a camping trip.�
In truth, she�s taking her own personal pilgrimage to try to find herself. If only she could find a moment alone without her pair of attractive, solicitous traveling companions distracting her at every turn.�
But the solitude Jade steals away to is interrupted by magical and hormonal urges she isn�t prepared for, and which only a male of her own race can remedy. Without her companions she is beyond hope, until a pair of strong arms drags her from mortal peril and coaxes her through the ordeal.�
When she regains her senses, she is faced with a quandary of epic proportions: accept an infertile ursa male who�s stolen her heart with his selflessness, or give him up for the pair who can give her what every ursa female wishes for: a child?�
