Stepbrother Bear (Forbidden Shifter Romance)

Irie fell head-over-heels for the beautiful Rocky Mountain landscape while visiting her Mom and soon-to-be step-father, Dean. After three months in the breath-taking mountains, Irie dreads going back to her soul-sucking job in the big city. If only a stud who knew just how to handle her -- like one of the alpha bear shifters from her romance novels -- would come along and save her ...!

But only days before Mom and Dean's wedding, things take a turn for the weird: Irie learns that she has a step-brother, Leo, who has somehow slept through the whole winter. Leo's tall, rugged and mysterious -- and woke up with a serious appetite that keeps getting him into trouble!

Irie has more questions than answers about Leo's odd behavior -- like why he keeps running off into the woods, or how, exactly, she woke up with his burly arm curled around her. But as much as she wants to write him off forever, he keeps finding his way back into her heart.

With Mom and Dean's wedding only days away, the last thing Irie wants is to create a family drama by giving in to her forbidden feelings and flirting with Leo. But the more she tries to deny herself, the worse things get.

Can Irie resist temptation and dutifully trudge back to her stressful life after tasting life in the mountains? Will the wedding be a trainwreck? Who is Leo really, and what's his deal, anyway?
