Hope is just another word for family. Family is who we pick. Dante Bianco isn't your average Bear. He guards his heart ferociously and prefers it that way. After suffering a personal loss, there isn't much hope left for a man like him. Then she walks into his life, carrying a little spitfire of a daughter, and his Bear just can't stop growling. Rosalie is a bright-eyed child with a heart of gold. Weird, since her mom is such a smart-mouthed female. But the closer Dante gets, the more he realizes things aren't what they seem. What Avery doesn't know about her tiny tot is a lot. That's something Dante can truly sympathize with and maybe he can even help. But that means getting her to agree. Is this a match made in heaven, or will Avery dash all this Bear's hope away?
