I don't let my bear out. She's a menace. The last time I did, I was kicked out of my foster home and placed in a group home. Then I met Pine. He belongs to a clan. He changes to his animal at will. He tells me I'm his-that he and I are mates. But that can't be. Things like this don't happen to girls like me. I've never been told I was loved. No one has ever wanted me around before. Maybe I've finally found a place to call home—with Pine. The Bayou Bear books are upper YA/New Adult Shifter Romances based in Louisiana where hot bear shifters are always on the lookout for their mates.
