Coveted by the Bear — T.S. Joyce

Damaged goods, unlikely friends, good intentions, and dark deeds come together to create T. S. Joyce's newest full-length, standalone shifter romance novel, Coveted by the Bear.

Mira Fletcher is crazy. At least that's what her sleepy hometown thinks. She lives in a dilapidated house in the wilderness with her imaginary uncle, talks to soup cans, and rumor has it she'll eat anything. That, and she believes in bear men.

It isn't love at first sight when she finds Caleb McCreedy, the town's most prominent and promising member, bleeding all over her front yard. He is easy on the eyes but light on manners, and with one look at his attacker, she's pretty sure she knows exactly what he's about to turn into.

A McCreedy always pays his debts, and Caleb owes Mira for saving him. He gives into an obsession with improving her future for reasons he can't himself understand just as his world crashes down around him. Something dangerous is lurking beneath his surface now, and the only one who can settle his animal is the town crazy.

With an explosion of admitted secrets, Mira's dark past comes back to haunt her, and she must decide whether to let Caleb go, or to allow him to save her back.
