Janet, Celine’s best friend and bartender at Shifting Impulse, had mixed feelings about being at work that night. That was mainly because she organized her friend’s birthday party, took the night off weeks in advance, but ended up working anyway. The last thing she needed was a scorching-hot shifter following her every move from a distance. Just great! Landscape and wildlife photographer Sean Spike only intended to be in North Bloom Lake for a weekend to attend his friend’s photography exhibition. He doesn’t expect to find the woman who can awaken his bear with just her presence. Not in a club called Shifting Impulse anyway. Protecting their hearts from being shattered into million pieces again is high on their priority list, but is loneliness really a fair price to pay?
