I expected dating after divorce to be weird. But nothing like this. I was a workaholic executive—until I almost died. It took a near-death experience to get my priorities straight, And I knew big changes had to be made. Priority #1 was spending more time with my kids and mother, So I quit my job and bought a beach house on Cape Cod. With the sun on my face and my toes in the sand, I met one of the beach rangers, Who turned out to be the hot single dad next door. Dylan helped me move some furniture, And I offered him dinner to thank him for his trouble—Not knowing it would end with dessert. My goal in moving out here was to spend time with family, Not to have a wild summer fling at forty-two. But thoughts of Dylan won’t leave my mind. My kids swear strange things are happening on this beach, And I chalk it up to their vivid imaginations—Until it becomes a reality before my very eyes. No one on this stretch of beach is human. They’re all bear-people. And the man I’ve come to love? He’s their leader. I thought my midlife crisis was over, But baby, it’s just getting started. Steamy shifter love scenes and a HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Readers 18+.
