This virile bear shifter thought fated mates were just a fairytale...until he found his.

Destiny made Jaxson Lord the new head of one of the most powerful bear clans on Wild Ridge. But Jax's birthright will only carry him so far. To stay on top, it'll take all the strength and cunning he has to prove to the other mining crews he's worthy. He's got no time for distractions and thinks fated mates are just a fairytale. Until he meets curvy Nora Gentry and she sets his virile, protective, inner bear on fire. The trouble is, she's caught the eye of the rest of the clans and now Jax has more than just his own crew to fight for.
On a nature photography assignment, Nora finds herself alone in the woods and face to face with a fierce, Grizzly. When Jax appears out of nowhere and comes to her aid, Nora knows there's something compelling, dangerous, and familiar about him. There's magic in those woods and Jax is at the center of it. But giving into their passions can bring dangerous consequences neither of them ever expected.
