When Natalie, a petite but powerful shifter, witnesses a gruesome crime one night, she begins to truly fear for her life. Luckily, she happens to be friends with a team of bodyguards … one of whom she has had a secret crush on for ages, even though he seems to hate her. Ed Forrest is a mercenary; a bodyguard for hire, who agrees to watch out for Natalie. An enormous, towering bear of a man, and no gentle giant, he is one of the last grizzly bear shifters in the country, and resigned to an arranged marriage with another of his kind to continue his line. There is absolutely no way he can fall for someone right now... Which means it’s a terrible idea for him to spend so much time with this fun, sexy polar bear shifter, right? So … why can’t he tear himself away? *This novel is the second in a series, but it can absolutely be read as a standalone with a HEA! Warning: steamier than a bear in a hot tub.*
