Claimed by the Bear : A Paranormal Bear Shifter Romance(Fervent Lust Romance)(book1)by Emma Manuelle

“’I can’t believe this is what you’ve been hiding from me,’ whispered Rowan, falling on his knees before her as though he was worshipping at the altar of a goddess.
‘You were hiding a lot too,’ she reminded him, caressing the side of his face. 
‘But you knew what I was,’ he said, leaning into her touch. He turned his face to kiss her palm and the inside of her wrist. ‘Oh, Willow, you beautiful thing!’”

After she’s wounded by a witch while defending her clan, Willow Velasquez loses the ability to transform into her cougar shape. Rather than suffer being a misfit amongst her own kind, she chooses to leave, drifting aimlessly until she comes to Bear Claw Mountain. There, she finds a new job, new friends… and Rowan Blackwood.
Tall, dark, handsome, and wealthy, Rowan owns the ski resort where Willow works. Sparks fly between them, but Willow knows she has to keep her distance. For one thing, he’s her boss. For another, he’s a bear shifter, and Willow knows that no shifter would want to be with a broken thing like her. Will she realize that her past doesn’t matter to Rowan, and finally let herself be claimed by the bear?
