Avery Phillips is trying to plan her wedding, only her fiancé won’t give her the time of day. She thought she had what she wanted until a dark brooding guest arrives at her inn. When Gage’s bike breaks down in the small town of St. Claire, his bear discovers his mate is running the inn where he’s staying. She was the last thing he was looking for.
