He swore he’d never take another mate…

Grizzly bear shifter, Ryker Windsor, doesn��t want a mate—ever. His first mating was a mistake, and though he doesn’t regret raising his sons, he refuses to let another woman into his heart—or his head. But when Carly Masters walks into his shop, all his careful walls start to crack.

She’s not looking for forever…

Curvy girl, Carly Masters, never expected the town’s broody mechanic to ask her out. She’s not chasing fairy tales, but the instant pull between them is impossible to ignore. Ryker makes her crave something she’s never had, and though he’s holding back, she can’t help but hope for more.

Fate doesn’t care about his promises…

Ryker vowed to spend the rest of his life alone, but fighting the bond between them is futile. Carly is his, and now that he has her, letting go isn’t an option. But old wounds run deep, and if he can’t overcome his past, he might lose the only woman who was ever meant to be his.

"This is a steamy small-town shifter romance with a possessive hero, a curvy heroine, no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed HEA."
