(Poke His Bear is a standalone story with the insta-love of fated mates and little to no angst.)

Convict "Don't call me Connie" Connelly is a grizzly bear shifter and police officer with a take no prisoners attitude. Known for being the man with a permanent scowl on his face and a surliness reminiscent of his animal half it's hard for anyone to get close to him. That all changes when he responds to a call and meets his mate.

Cosmo Mayweather is a serval cat shifter and hairstylist. Cosmo is sassy and a little bit smart-assy. When his salon is robbed, he doesn't expect for the responding officer to be his mate or for that mate to basically hate him on sight. But, if there's one thing Cosmo loves, it's a challenge and getting the surly cop meant to be his to like him will be Cosmo's greatest challenge yet.

One neighbor from hell with a love for daisy dukes, a neighborhood hook-up artist, and a man determined to claim something that isn't his will either make or break their happily ever after.
