Finnegan “Lucky” Davis, a grizzly bear shifter, has spent the last year searching for a place to call home, and a mate to share his life. When he stops in Liberty to visit an old friend in the Wild Bear Bar, he falls for the feisty she-bear behind the counter the moment she scolds him for making a mess. Tall, curvy, tomboy Isabelle Taylor hates the way her body reacts to the new bear in town. He’s big and sexy, everything she’s ever wanted in a mate, but she knows firsthand what it feels like to believe in silly dreams. Lucky might want her now, but no one new ever stays in Liberty. Lucky can’t seem to catch a break with Isabelle. He knows they’re meant to be together, but she repeatedly turns down his advances until her cousin steps in and offers some advice. Suddenly, he’s got his mate right where he wants her, but the stubborn woman has other plans. He tries to be patient, but sometimes a bear has no choice but to show his mate how lucky he really is.

Gabriel Turner, bear shifter and owner of the Wild Bear bar, knows firsthand that fated mates don’t exist. If they did, he would be happily mated with a cub on the way, not drawn to the curvy, shifter-hating waitress he employs. Curvy girl, Michelle Larsen has been in love with her employer since the moment she stepped into his office looking for work a little over a year ago. Even though the bossy, workaholic made it clear he didn’t have feelings for her, she’d secretly hoped time would change his mind. After his cousin finds her mate, Gabe starts dating again hoping to find a woman who can make him forget about Michelle. When he does something crazy for a woman he just met, he’s forced to reevaluate his decisions. Michelle is crushed when she catches Gabe in a lie, but she’s devastated when she realizes he will never see her as anything more than his employee. In an effort to move on, she starts looking for another job, but Gabe won’t make leaving easy. When the truth is revealed, they both must decide whether to listen to their heads, or their hearts.

Bad boy, bear shifter, Jared Bass learned a long time ago that the only one he could depend on was himself. His willingness to engage with his fists, despite the consequences, has earned him a dangerous reputation and he likes it that way. Fear and respect keep everyone out of his way. Except her. Curvy, plus-sized, human, Leah Ashbrook is drawn to the tattooed bartender in a way she can’t explain. While everyone else gives him a wide berth, she wants nothing more than to spend a few hours alone with him, feeling all of his intense energy directed at her. Preferably in the bedroom. Jared’s past dictates he can’t have a mate, but that doesn’t mean he can’t spend some time with the sexy, confident human and get her out of his head. When his plan backfires, and Leah starts feeling more like a mate and less like a fling, he lets her go. Unfortunately, she might be the best thing that’s ever happened to him.
