Bearing Your Soul — Zoe Chant

A shy BBW who's been burned by love + a sexy veteran bear shifter + a family code of silence = one sizzling hot romance that defies all odds!

Curvy receptionist Teagan Jones tells herself she's happy with her life. Sure, her boss is a little sleazy, but it's nothing she can't handle. And sure, her last relationship was a disaster, but she's just fine with being single. Then stunningly gorgeous ex-army captain Ashton Marshfield walks into her clinic, and turns her life upside down.

The second Ashton lays eyes on Teagan, he knows she's his destined mate. There's just one problem â€" his family's always told him that shifters can't be mates with humans. How can he explain their red-hot chemistry to himself once he finds out she's not a shifter? Can Ashton and Teagan break every rule they've ever known for the sake of love?
