Bear With Me — Piper Hunt

Curvy researcher Jazzmin isn't looking for a relationship - she needs data for her Kodiak bear shifter study into the habits of denning bears. But when she nearly drowns in an icy Alaskan river, a man quickly appears to rescue her. Kodiak shifter Jake had his eye on the curvy beauty, as he does every visitor to his forest. When he pulls her from the undertow of a river, he knows she's his mate, a city girl who'll soon return home thousands of miles away. When Jake learns of Jazz's research, he's torn between his bear's mating instinct and his need to protect the shifter community's privacy. Can Jazz give up her career and everything she thought was important for the only man who's ever touched her heart?
