Billionaire Oil Bearon Laura Bascom needs a husband and a child if she’s to keep the family ranch. A one-year marriage sounds just right to satisfy the conditions of her great-grandfather’s will. Bearshifter Steve Holden's not sure he wants to get mixed up with any Bascoms, no matter how much money is at stake, but just one glimpse of voluptuous, adorable Laura and he knows he’s met his fate. What does an honorable ex-Green Beret do when the bear of his dreams only wants a business proposition? He says yes, he signs the prenuptial, and he sets out to seduce his wife. Because Steve’s rampant desire for his fated mate isn’t a fever that will burn itself out. But what if sexy, passionate Laura means what she says? And what will happen when she discovers Steve’s secret? If they are to have an HEA, hard-bodied bear shifter Steve has to teach his Laura to trust her inner bear. Caution: Steamy scenes ahead. Some readers may be offended by the red hot descriptions of primal passion in Bear Pause. If wild and randy shifters coupling shocks you, try something tamer. Steve Holden, the hot bearshifter bodyguard from Dragon’s Treasure, now features in his own sizzling novella. Book 6 in the Bear Fursuits series, Bear Pause has a HEA with no cliffhangers, and can be read alone.
