Cover Description:

Kerri’s excited to be able to help plan the wedding of her sister’s friend. Decorating her sister’s middle-of-nowhere cabin and taking some R&R after finally finishing cooking school is exactly what she needs before she starts her job hunt. Unable to sleep, Kerri heads out into the woods before dawn on Christmas Eve to cut pine boughs to decorate the fireplace mantel. It’s cold and dark, but Kerri finds herself enjoying the early morning walk in the woods. Until an unwanted guest in the form of an enormous polar bear intrudes on her quiet morning.

At dawn on Christmas Eve, Sullivan, an arctic shifter, goes with two members of the NPC security team to scout out the location for a close friend’s wedding. Deciding he’s a better hunter in his shifted form, he chooses the polar bear, his favorite of his four shifts. Heading into the woods that surround the cabin, he follows the scent of something amazing and comes face to face with a beautiful woman, who watches him shift back into his human form and promptly passes out.

When Kerri awakens, she feels immediately connected to a man she’s pretty sure she saw change forms from bear to human. She can’t explain why she feels drawn to him, but he can. He’s a quad shifter, part of Santa’s sleigh team, and she’s his fated mate. For a human who never realized that shifters, or Santa, were real, Kerri has to make a choice…fast. Either she’s waiting when Sullivan gets back from the Christmas Eve run, or he’ll leave her behind. Will Sullivan get his Christmas wish for Kerri to accept being his mate and join him in the North Pole, or will this be a blue Christmas for everyone?

Cover Description:

The sweet smell of her skin called to me. She was strewn across the forest floor like a broken angel. I hoped it wasn’t too late. Her once silken hair stuck to her face, matted and caked in blood. I moved in closer and listened carefully. Relief rushed through me. She was breathing, but barely alive. I knew I had to save her.

When I find out who’s responsible, I’ll hunt them down like the savage beast I am. Nobody capable of doing this to another is deserving of their life. I’ll extinguish them in the blink of an eye, and the world will be a better place.

As for the woman, I’ll claim her for my own.
Mine to keep.
Mine to love.
Life in the Alaskan wilderness can be lonely – but it won’t be for me.
Not anymore. Not if I can help it.

Cover Description:

Riker Brolin has always been the responsible one of his brothers. Whether it’s watching out for the entire, tiny town of Bear Canyon or supervising the annual Brawl where bear shifters from all over trek to his mountain, he does it all without complaint. Well, maybe a complaint here or there, especially when a curvy human woman somehow wanders into Bear Canyon, drawing the attention of every hungry bear shifter in the vicinity, including himself.
Ana Johnson is having a rough week. While hiking for help after being abandoned in the mountains, she stumbles upon a strange camp and finds herself plunged into a world where men can shift into larger-than-life predators and curvy women like her just happen to be prey. All that stands between Ana and a bunch of hungry bears is a tall, rugged man with storm-gray eyes and a wall around his heart that Ana would definitely like to scale.
Riker knows his bear wants the curvy redhead with a kind smile for a mate, even as he vows to strictly protect her until she can leave. But Ana is determined to work her way into his heart and his arms, and after a few steamy encounters, he almost considers having a life for himself that he never imagined. But how could he ever expose someone as wonderful as Ana to the dark secrets that lurk in Bear Canyon?

Black bear shifter Sophia Brooks has been floundering for a long time. She’s spent the last seven years at a job she hates, watching life pass her by. When she finally decides she’s had enough and quits just weeks before Christmas, her dad manages to convince her that a trip to Alaska for a shifter reunion is exactly what she needs. Sophia reluctantly agrees to travel to Frost Peak, but she regrets her decision almost as soon as she arrives. Being in Alaska forces her to face the fact that she hasn’t done anything meaningful with her life, and that she’s still very much alone with no prospects for romance on the horizon. But her bah humbug attitude is about to be turned on its head when she meets the impossibly handsome Finn Murray…

Grizzly shifter Finn Murray is best known for being a gruff, unfriendly loner. But his rough exterior is merely a wall to keep out the pain that he knows comes from opening your heart to someone. Finn is terrified of being hurt, and swore long ago that he would never love again. But when Sophia Brooks, daughter of shifter legend Zach Brooks, shows up for a Christmas reunion, Finn can’t keep his eyes off of her. When the walls around his heart start to crumble, he has to decide whether a life with Sophia is worth the risk…and he has to decide before Christmas comes to an end and Sophia leaves Alaska as quickly as she came.

Could a holiday romance change everything for Sophia? And will Finn overcome his fear of love and open his heart to the season’s possibilities? This Christmas, anything’s possible. Read this heartwarming holiday bear shifter romance to discover how Sophia and Finn turn the magic of the season into a chance at true love.
