A steamy instalove paranormal romance featuring a bear shifter ready for fate, a human heroine with one week left in town, and a love that changes all her plans.

 

Bear shifter Luke likes his life simple: work hard with his den, help where he’s needed, and never miss a burger of the week at The Amber Howl.

Then he catches Valley’s scent in the line outside the tavern, and his bear knows the truth in an instant.

She’s his mate.

Valley is supposed to be leaving Mill Creek in a week for a new bakery job and a fresh start two hours away. Falling for a gorgeous, protective bear shifter was not part of the plan—and neither was discovering that fated mates and magic burgers are very, very real.

Luke won’t ask her to give up her future. If Valley goes, he’ll follow. But the more time she spends in King Lake, the harder it is to tell whether leaving is still what she wants… or if everything she’s been searching for has been waiting across the bridge all along.

In King Lake, fate doesn’t always arrive quietly. Sometimes it shows up with a protective bear and a love worth changing plans for.
