Mated to the Mountain Bear
A Bear Shifter Romance
2025
My stalker has taken everything from me. My job, my freedom, my peace of mind. When he breaks into my apartment, I barely escape with my life. My only option is trusting a gruff private investigator who promises he can keep me safe.
He delivers me to his brother, a massive, silent mountain man who has barely left his remote cabin in fifteen years. Ben barely speaks, watches me with intense dark eyes, and makes my rescuer look downright chatty. He's supposed to protect me, keep me hidden until it's safe to go home.
He's not supposed to make me feel like I belong here.
\\\\\\\*
I don't do people. Haven't since I was a teen. Then my brother dumps a terrified woman on my doorstep and asks me to keep her safe from some psycho who won't take no for an answer.
She's everything I've avoided for fifteen years. Soft. Fragile. Human.
She's also mine.
My bear knew it the second she walked through my door. Now I have to keep her alive long enough to convince her that the safest place she'll ever be is right here with me. Even if it means facing the violent world I left behind.
Even if it means becoming the monster I swore I'd never be again.
A bear shifter romance with a protective mountain man hero, forced proximity, and a guaranteed HEA. No cliffhangers.

Fated to the Alpha Bear
A Bear Shifter Romance
2026
The man they sent to rescue me looks more dangerous than my captors. Bodhi Lennox hasn't spoken a full sentence since he arrived, just watches me with dark eyes and growls at anyone who gets too close.
He's massive, barely speaks, and is supposedly here to protect me until my brother pays his debt.
But the way he looks at me? Like I'm already his. Like he'd tear apart anyone who tries to touch me.
I should be terrified of him. Instead, I'm wondering what it would take to make a man like him lose control.
\\\\\\
Three months in fur. Three months avoiding everyone I know. Then Chase Walker drags me back to civilization for one last job, protect a woman being held as collateral for her brother's debt.
Simple. Get in. Guard the asset. Get out.
Then I recognise her. My mate. And I know I'm in trouble.
Every instinct screams to claim her, protect her, keep her. But she thinks I'm just hired muscle. Another dangerous man in a house full of predators.
She has no idea she belongs to an alpha bear who's more animal than man.
She has no idea I'll burn the whole world down before I let anyone hurt what's mine.
A wild bear shifter romance with a possessive alpha hero, fated mates, and a guaranteed HEA. No cliffhangers.

Guarded by the Grizzly Bear

I need to remember he's just a means to an end. Not the man who almost made me forget everything I stand for.
\\\\\\

My bear has other plans.
She's been mine since the night she cuffed me. This time, when I get her alone, I'm not letting her walk away.
