Benjamin (Black Bears of Independence #4)

Trauma and Discovery.

Sabrina Bryant stopped shifting when she was only ten. A traumatic incident that she can’t remember and is helpless to do anything to change so she can shift. After two failed relationships, she was beginning to believe there was a reason she was never good enough for her father. She was worthless and no one would want her. So, when he arranged a political mating for her with none other than Benjamin Hurst, she was left reeling.

Benjamin Hurst grew up knowing his older brother would be the Alpha of their clan. It was something he was prepared for, and more than okay with. When his brother announced that he would be leaving, though, it thrust him into a position he was not prepared for. Alpha of the Hurst Family Clan.

The two are forced together, feeling they have no choice in the matter and must figure things out as they go and where they stand with one another. Unable to shift, Sabrina has no clue Ben is her mate, but he can sense it, and is willing to do anything to keep her safe.

When they learn Sabrina might be the only chance in defeating Pickens and his army, they find themselves fighting alongside the Independence Clan to save not only what they have just started to build, but the entire town. Will they be able to discover secrets kept hidden, and themselves before time runs out?

Rated '3/5 - Open door' for steam/spice/heat level.
