Ava's looking for love, not a one night stand, and grizzly shifters don't do relationships. It doesn't matter how attracted she is to Bishop, or that every time she's around him she loses her damn mind and ends up half-naked and in his arms. There's no future for them and she wants her happily ever after. But when Ava is targeted by an unstable shifter, Bishop's vow to stay away from the beautiful, fragile woman is forgotten. Ava doesn't want his help but Bishop's grizzly wants her and he'll stop at nothing to claim her - even if that means battling an ancient and powerful enemy.

An overbearing older sibling can really be a bear, but the child in this understated, gently humorous story finds out that they can have their advantages, too. "I live with a bear," the story's young narrator declares. The bear is loud, messy, uncouth, and very strong (too strong!). For some reason, his parents treat the bear like family, despite his protests. Why can't they see? Then he runs into some bullies on the playground. When the bear ROOAARS with all her might and scares them away, he realizes that there are advantages to having a bear in the family. In a delightful twist, the narrator's older sister (the bear) appears, telling him that she is NOT a bear. But if she is, HE is too--because two bears are even better than one!
