Goldie's Grumpy Grizzly

About the Book

A grumpy bear shifter with no desire for a mate collides with a car and wakes up with a mating bond locked onto the driver responsible— the blonde bombshell he finds sleeping in his bed.

RAE

My weeklong writing retreat in Fable Forest's distraction-free campground was supposed to refill my creative well and help me meet my deadline. But my trip's off to an inauspicious start when I accidentally crash into a grizzly who turns out to be the sexy, grumpy bear shifter I've dreamed about and whose personal cabin is the one I'm mistakenly occupying.

Even though Cole Osborne is a growly, bearded hunk of a man who says he doesn’t want me in his bear cave, I'm not willing to let him recuperate on his own. And before long, the sparks between us become undeniable. So when strange things start happening and the truth of my bloodline is revealed, it threatens everything I thought I’ve built—my career, my family, and my shot at true love.

COLE

I’ve got no use for a mate. Don’t want—or need—one, no matter how much my mama pushes me to give her grand-cubs. After witnessing the kind of devastation losing one’s mate can cause, the last thing I need is for the mating bond to stitch me up with one—especially a beauty with a sunshine-bright smile and the most irresistible honeysuckle scent.

But when Rae Golding slams her flashy rental into me, my bear recognizes the curvy blonde bombshell for what she is—my fated mate. And since she's not so easily scared off, she sticks close, tempting me until I can't help but take a taste. Our bond is all it takes for me to reconsider the bachelor life… until I discover just how cruel fate can be.

Can a loving bond be strong enough to heal old, deep wounds? Or are some truths too big and too heartbreaking to bear?

The rest of the Osborne family were fun to get to know and seeing how they all interacted with one another was great, especially Mama Osborne. I look forward to seeing what other stories…”
