The Bear's Chosen Mate

He thought he could choose his mate. Fate had other ideas.

When James Borealis’s mating fever hits, the youngest of the polar bear brothers has one plan—claim his best friend before the heat drives him wild. Kaylee’s everything he wants: loyal, gorgeous, and off-limits.

But friendship doesn’t stand a chance against a bear’s instincts.

Kaylee knows all about polar bear mating fever—and she’s not about to become James’s convenient cure. She’s a quiet bobcat shifter with scars and secrets of her own, while he’s the charming face of Borealis Gems, living life in the spotlight. They don’t make sense. They never did.

Until one touch breaks every rule between them.

Now passion’s burning hotter than the Arctic sun, and the only thing more dangerous than surrendering… is pretending they were ever just friends.

Fate’s called his bluff—and this time, love’s playing for keeps.
