Mated to the Mountain Bear

A Bear Shifter Romance (Bear Protector, Book 1)

De: Reece Barden

Narrado por: Sarah Puckett, Jarman Day

ZARA

My stalker destroyed my life. My grumpy mountain man protector is about to ruin me for anyone else. Running to a remote cabin wasn't part of the plan. Neither was the massive, silent man who opens the door, all dark eyes, muscly arms, and barely concealed irritation at having his solitude interrupted.

Ben Lennox doesn't want me here, and he makes that crystal clear with every growl, glare, and gruff one-word answer.

Too bad I'm stranded here, stuck with a man who hasn't had a houseguest in years and treats every conversation like torture.

But the longer I'm forced to stay, the more I realise Ben isn't all he seems.

I should be terrified of the danger hunting me. Instead, I'm terrified of how safe I feel in Ben's arms. How right this cabin feels like home. How much I want to stay.

BEN

She talks too much. Touches everything. Fills my silent world with chaos. She's also mine.

My bear knew it the second Zara walked through my door, this sweet but noisy woman who doesn't belong in my world of isolation and secrets. I've spent years keeping everyone out. Then my brother dumps her here. Terrified. Running from danger and needing protection.

Now she's wearing my clothes. Sleeping in my bed. Eating my food. And making me want things I can't have.

Because I know what I am.

She thinks she's hiding from a monster, but she has no idea her presence has awakened one. And I'll tear apart anyone who tries to take her from me.

Forced proximity meets fated mates in this scorching shifter romance. Standalone, no cliffhangers, guaranteed HEA.
