A steamy instalove paranormal romance featuring a protective bear shifter and a guarded heroine convinced she’s never going to be enough for a shifter’s forever.

 

Waverly has one rule: never date another shifter.  When her ex promised her the moon and then left her the moment he found his truemate, she learned a painful lesson about shifters and forever.  After slipping away from her sister’s birthday party at a tavern, she has a steamy encounter with a guy who seems perfect. Until he growls. 

​

Alpha bear Colt left his den to start over and create a home where bears are allowed to mate who they want without being forced into arranged matings.  The moment he catches Waverly’s scent in the tavern, he knows she’s his truemate and every decision he made was worth it.

​

But when Waverly discovers Colt’s a shifter, she walks away, convinced that history will repeat itself.  When fate brings them together again, Colt is given another chance to prove that Waverly will never be second best, and that not every promise is meant to be broken.

​

Because in King Lake… sometimes forever doesn’t begin with trust, it begins with earning it.
