He'd given up on finding a mate, but he still had Bears to take care of...

Kostya Iltchenko was the Russian Bear. He was the Bad Ass of the Russian Bears, which meant he was cute and cuddly until it was time not to be. He'd given up on finding a mate, but he threw everything he was into caring for his Bears and all of the Bears in the Sleuths in Russia. He wasn't ready to settle and accept a woman to have children. He was desperate but not desolate.

Sunnie Weathers was a human child to a Shifter-Human mating. She'd gone to university and found herself captured, on a visit home and forced to create something she just knew was evil. She was playing the good girl because the lives of her parents was on the line. She was in the process of saving herself when a huge man barged into her life and saved her and her parents.

And Claiming she was his mate.

Bears are cuddly and love to snuggle by nature. How could she not fall for him?
