Baxter Sadowski is good at his job and he is good with women. He works hard, plays hard, and likes to have fun. But Baxter isn't one to kid himself. He knows that fun and happiness are two different things. It takes a lucky bear to find his true mate, and well, he knows better than to count on luck. Lindy Meyers has never forgotten a tough, tenacious, hunky Black Bear she met ten years ago. When she meets him again, she is no longer the shy, self-conscious twenty-something woman. She is still plus-sized and curvy, but with the added dollop of success and independence. What was supposed to be just a night of fun with the sassy, curvy human turns out to be something more. When Baxter leaves for an urgent, dangerous mission, he realizes that everything he has worked for, fought for and stood for is being threatened by a deadly enemy. Baxter can't believe he has finally found his mate, but if he doesn't act fast enough, he might just lose her forever.
