Susie has lived in Bear's Grove all her life. And she's missed her bear for far too much of it. Susannah Marie Maple is tough, clever and a self-made woman, built to succeed in the wilderness. Despite that, she feels like something is missing in her life. A piece of her heart left with a man who has not shown his face in Montana in a long time and try as she might, she can't patch up the hole he left. But when he returns during a shifter conflict the likes of which Bear's Grove hasn't seen in centuries, will she find the man she misses or has he changed completely? Julian Arder is first and foremost a billionaire playboy. Few know that the dashing, brilliant man is also a werebear and Julian himself would be the first in line to forget about it. Fear for the safety of his loved ones led him to leave Bear's Grove and his werebear heritage many years ago, but it is also what brought him back. He hasn't stopped thinking about Susie and she is all he can focus on after he meets her again. But, he is not the only one who wants the curvy woman. Drake Heller, a werebear from the Bitterroot clan, has set his sights on Susie and he isn't about to give up without a fight. A fight which no mere billionaire can win without his bear. Can Julian win Susie back and make peace with his bear or will their fated love slip from between their fingers once again? This is a 30,000+ word novella with a HFN ending. It includes a steamy scene and can be read as a stand-alone.
