Bear Trapped
Ada Hastings isn't looking for love, just a peaceful vacation on the Coromandel Peninsula, away from the stress of deadlines and an editor who measures the value of writing talent in sexual favours. Coming across a bear bathing under a waterfall while hiking in remote bush, she wishes she’d packed an assault rifle instead of sunscreen.
Everyone knows bears don’t exist outside of zoos in New Zealand, so shit just got scary.
Ranger Sachs-Severin runs a successful hedge fund while being a hands-on member of Bear Force Special Ops, a group of shapeshifters combatting bear abuse worldwide. While unwinding from the stress of a Bear Force mission by having a shower under his favourite waterfall, he discovers a woman watching him from the track above. His morning has just improved immensely.
When the tall, curvy woman literally falls at his feet, Ranger discovers she’s the mate he didn't know he was looking for, and there’s enough chemistry between them to give a mad professor performance envy. However, a perfect day of sun, surf, and sex is shattered by one phone call, when Ranger is asked to break a promise that will mean losing Ada forever.
