Mated to the Mountain Bear (Bear Protector #1)

ZARA

My stalker destroyed my life. My grumpy mountain man protector is about to ruin me for anyone else.

Running to a remote cabin wasnt 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 doesnt want me here, and he makes that crystal clear with every growl, glare, and gruff one-word answer.

Too bad Im stranded here, stuck with a man who hasnt had a houseguest in years and treats every conversation like torture.

But the longer Im forced to stay, the more I realise Ben isnt all he seems.

I should be terrified of the danger hunting me. Instead, Im terrified of how safe I feel in Bens 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. Shes also mine.

My bear knew it the second Zara walked through my door, this sweet but noisy woman who doesnt belong in my world of isolation and secrets. Ive spent years keeping everyone out. Then my brother dumps her here. Terrified. Running from danger and needing protection.

Now shes wearing my clothes. Sleeping in my bed. Eating my food. And making me want things I cant have.

Because I know what I am.

She thinks shes hiding from a monster, but she has no idea her presence has awakened one. And Ill 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.
