To Claim (Cascade Calendar Bears #2)

Second chances can be sweeter than honey...
Heather Pike is about to take her new life by the horns. After a nasty divorce and quitting her dead-end job, she's ready for a change. With her fortieth birthday right around the corner, Heather lands a higher-paying job and decides to open up her heart to a second chance at love.

And that chance takes shape in the form of sexy bear-shifter, Rick Garner, the man who Heather has harbored a crush on since she was a teenager. With her new job bringing them in daily contact, Heather decides to be bold and ask him out. He agrees, but with his acceptance comes a lot of baggage- from his deceased wife, to his terminally-ill granddaughter, Alexis...


Rick is just trying to work hard and do what's best for Alexis, so he puts in extra time at the construction site he oversees. When his sons, Kris and Jesse, come up with a crazy plan to help raise funds for Alexis, he happily volunteers to strut his stuff for a sexy shifter calendar. Since his wife's death many years ago, Rick just figured that love was something he'd have to live without.

Or does he?

The calendar gets him thinking...and he figures out that maybe he wasn't meant to be alone forever. He suddenly finds himself immensely attracted to Heather, a woman he had seen grow up right in front of his very eyes. When she helps nurse him back to health after a work-related accident, Rick wants to pay her back any way he can. And he has a very naughty imagination...


If anyone can rejuvenate his soul, it's her.

If anyone can make her feel more alive, it's him.


This is a steamy bear-shifter novella, the second in a series, as well as a standalone. It's intended for mature audiences, 18+.
