I Choose the Bear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"I<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ivy thought she’d found one of the good ones, a nice guy who respected her wishes, the guy all of her friends liked\u2026and then they head to his family’s lake house for a night to watch for an expected meteor shower. But Neill had his own plans in mind and when Ivy said no, he didn’t like it.

Enter the bear.<\/em><\/strong>

Jonah, on a hiking trip with his best friend, Liam, after the unexpected death of the clan’s Alpha, and Jonah’s grandfather, is enjoying the last few hours of freedom he’ll know for some time. He’s known for a long time he’ll be stepping into his grandfather’s shoes and with the countdown ticking away, he relishes the peace and quiet. But then it’s shattered by the shouts of an angry, frightened woman. Both Liam and Jonah take off running to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as they reach the edge of the property, the woman shouts, “You’re the reason why women choose the bear, Neill.”

Now\u2026Jonah abides by the laws governing supernaturals. He doesn’t reveal himself to be a shapeshifter. But walking out there in his bear skin isn’t really revealing himself. And predators deserve to be frightened, don’t they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when he sees Ivy\u2026his whole world is upended.

Now isn’t the time for him to fall in love. He has a clan to care for, challenges to hold off.

But love doesn’t believe in being convenient and Jonah and Ivy on are a collision course. Will she choose the bear\u2026and will his bear choose her?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Inspired by that question, this book was a hugely popular campaign on Backerkit and is now releasing to the public for the first time.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
