[Broken Hill Bears 02] • Bare Knuckle Bear

***** Full-length standalone novel *****

To Braxton Quentin, the world would be a better place if humans didn’t exist. They destroyed his family, leaving him with terrible emotional scars that have made him unable to contemplate finding a mate. And then he meets smart, sexy, auburn-haired Neve. His bear wants her, his clan needs her, but accepting her help means betraying his most deeply held convictions.

Orphaned Neve Vincent has never had anyone looking out for her in life. Watching her hero, the smoldering, blue-eyed Braxton, wrestle live on stage is her escape from harsh reality. Too bad she has to find out the hard way that he hates everything she stands for.

With the Broken Hill Bears facing ruin and time fast running out, Neve is the only one who can help Braxton save the clan. Can he make amends for the hurt he’s caused her – even if this means taking the risk that this good-hearted human will take hold of his heart and never let it go?
