Tricked by the Bear

One second, I was elbow-deep in lab work.
The next? Drugged, kidnapped, and dragged into a mess that smells a hell of a lot like betrayal-and bear.

Enter Carter Armstrong. Alpha elite. Grumpy protector. Built like a walking fantasy.
He says he’s here to keep me safe.
But the way he looks at me? That’s not just protection. That’s claiming.
That’s ＂mate＂ with a capital M.

I’m not exactly the damsel type, and I sure as hell didn’t ask for a protective bear to come barrelling into my life. But now we’re tangled in a conspiracy that could get us both killed, and Carter is the only one I trust-mostly. When he’s not driving me crazy with that bossy growl and those... very talented hands.

Good thing I’ve got backup: three overprotective brothers, a found family of badass shifters, and a wolf inside me who’s finally howling for something real.

The problem?
The one man who might be my forever is keeping secrets.
And I’m not sure which will come first-me saving the world... or jumping his bones.

Kidnapped, claimed, and falling hard for a possessive alpha bear-this wolf is about to rewrite the rules
