I don’t do people. I don’t do small talk. And I definitely don’t do guests. Running this crumbling lodge in the mountains is a promise my grandaddy forced out of me, and it’s more than a grizzly like me can take. The last thing I need? A busload of city people showing up for some team-building nonsense, whining about squeaky floors and busted hot tubs. I’ve got half a mind to kick them all out. And I would, if it wasn’t for their organizer—Lucy Cole. All sunshine, golden curls, and a laugh that could melt the frost off the mountain peaks. From the moment she hurtles across the lobby and into my arms, I’m captivated. Suddenly, the last thing I want to do is keep my distance. She’s everything I shouldn’t want—boundless optimism, big city ambitions, and a light that shines too bright for someone like me. But every time those blue eyes meet mine, my beast tells me, she’s my mate. When Lucy finds out what I really am, will she run? Or can I show her that here in my arms—and in my wild, untamed world—is exactly where she’s meant to be? Grumpy, growly mountain man? Check. Sunshiny city girl? Check. Sparks hotter than a campfire cookout? Oh, absolutely. Get ready for a hilarious, heart-warming ride with a possessive beast and the human woman who stole his heart.
