H
er Bear
for Life is STANDALONE in the Second Chance Shifter Series. It contains a strong willed heroine, a sexy as hell Clan Chief, and sex in all the right places.

Excerpt:

Large hands grasped her arms to steady her, and Mia brought her head up, having to keep craning her neck further back to look into the face of the man who caught her.

        At five foot ten inches, with plenty of hips, ass, and breasts to spare, Mia was no shrinking violet, but the man holding her made her feel as delicate as that flower. He had to be six foot five if he was an inch, with a powerful build and a well-groomed beard. The entirety of him would have been intimidating, if it wasn’t for those eyes. Like hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day, they soothed her even as they warmed her from the inside out.

        Mia hadn’t forgotten those eyes, the effect they had on her, or the tenacity with which she’d loved the boy they belonged to. But the owner of those eyes was no longer a boy… No, Drake was all man.

        A man whose intensity hadn’t dimmed in the slightest; if anything, it had increased, and Drake was looking at her as if he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to throttle her or throw her down right there in the airport lobby and claim her.

        One look at his face, one second back in his arms, and Mia was already hoping for door number two.

He parked in front of The Sweet Tooth and looked through the windows. The cupcake shop looked empty, but it was hard to tell through the heavy drops of rain.

It was time. The clan had given her space and time to grieve. Today marked the end of the mourning season. Sophia had to come back to the clan.

Liam stepped one foot out of his truck, making a large splash with his boot. The rain slid along his cheek, soaking his hair and shirt. He pushed open the door as the bell chimed to announce his arrival.

“I’ll be right out,” he heard her voice from the back of the shop. She was probably in the kitchen.

He shoved his hands in his jeans, waiting for her to appear. She wouldn’t expect him. She wouldn’t expect any of them. He had purposely stayed away until now. He cleared his throat.

“I just put a fresh batch…” She looked stunned as if her words were stuck in her throat. “Liam?”

“Hey, Soph.”

“What are you doing here?” She wiped her hands on the front of her apron.

“How are you?” He took a step toward the glass shelves where she stored baked goods.

Her hair was longer than the last time he saw her. He liked how she had it pulled back on the sides, but it hung down in long auburn waves around her shoulders.

“Don’t.” She backed up. “Don’t show up here and start asking about me.”

“It’s been two years,” he stated.

He noticed the quiver in her lip and how her brilliant blue eyes began to mist. “I know exactly how long it’s been.”

“Then you also know why I’m here.” The rain rattled the windows behind him, but he didn’t flinch.

She pulled the strings on the apron and threaded it over her head before hanging it up on a nearby hook.

“Soph, did you hear me?”

She whipped around. “I have no idea why you’ve suddenly decided to show up, but you can get out. Get out of my shop, Liam.”

He shook his head. “Look, I’m going to sit right over there. And I would like a cup of coffee.”

Her eyes widened. “Are you kidding me?”

“No. I’d like it black, please. And hot.” He turned from her and settled behind one of the bistro tables in the corner.

Sophia disappeared into the kitchen. He wasn’t sure if she was going to return with coffee or a gun, but he waited. Ten minutes later she emerged with a hot mug. She slammed the cup on the table, spilling coffee around the sides of the mug.

“There. Drink it and get out,” she fumed.

Liam knew she would be angry. He knew she would reject his visit, and probably resent his very presence.

He looked up at her. “Thank you.”

There was a lot to tell her. More had happened in the past two years since he had seen her than could be discussed over one cup of coffee, but this was the beginning. This was their beginning.
