Previously published as Orson by Elva Birch in the Grizzly Guardians series, this edition has been re-written in third person and edited extensively to fit the World of Instinct setting. North to the future...and a fated mate! Orson was sent to Alaska to run an established security company that Grizzly Protective Services was taking over, and he's determined to be gruff and take-charge like his brothers to prove that he's got what it takes. No more screw-up youngest brother. He's New Orson, grouchy and solid…until he meets his destiny and loses his heart and his head. Alex Vex brought the security company back from the brink long before Grizzly Protective Services waltzed in to buy it out. She’ll have to swallow her pride and put on a bubble-headed facade to appease her new boss, no matter how much it galls her to see someone step in to take credit for all of her hard work and success. She’ll be sparkle and sunshine if it kills her...and it just might! When Orson proposes a trip north, Alex can’t say no…just like she can’t say no to Orson’s grumpy good looks or the tantalizing secrets and the sense of humor that he’s hiding. But someone is trying to sabotage their trip, and when it isn’t a room with only one bed, it’s someone trying to get them both out of the picture altogether. * * * Bearing North is a short, sizzling novel in the World of Instinct shared by A Day Care for Shifters. It is a thrilling and hilarious opposites-attract, enemies-to-lovers, grumpy-and-sunshine, office romance instalove, with fated mates, secret shifters, and delicious descriptions of wild Alaska.
