Bearly Healed — Moxie North

What do you get when you mix one feisty sprite of a woman ...

Cassidy Hackett knows all about life's hard knocks. After growing up in foster care, her only family is her friend Effie, who sees past Cassie's sarcasm to the heart she shields so carefully.

But now Effie is mated to a cougar shifter, and Cassie feels left behind. When a fateful decision to drown her sorrows one night leaves her broken and scarred, she's almost ready to give up on life.

Almost.

With one burly, sexy man ...

Grizzly shifter Cash Rochon loves his family and his job. But it feels like he's been searching forever for his mate--that special woman meant only for him.

When he hears about a human recuperating from a terrible accident at a relative's house, he's glad to help out. Little does he know that his greatest wish is about to be answered ... in a way he never expected.

And lots of patience, devotion, and peanut butter cups?
