Despite being an extremely wealthy entrepreneur, Kalvin spends most of his time as part of an underground shifter fight club. After months of reigning as the club's alpha and undisputed champion, Kalvin finally meets his match in the form of a conniving and vicious foe. Caught off guard then left for dead, Kalvin's world spirals out of control. His business starts to implode, his reputation is destroyed, and all hope seems lost. Curvy medical student Megan Holt never expected to find a near-dead shifter in the alleyway next to her apartment, but that didn't stop her from saving his life once she did. Nursing him back to health, Megan finds herself caught up in a world that she never dreamed possible. Caught between her duties as his caretaker and her heart's desire at being his fated mate, it's all Megan can do to keep herself out of trouble while helping to rebuild the confidence that her new found lover seems to have lost. When Kalvin's violent shifter past collides with Megan's upbeat view of life, it will take everything he has to fight off the forces that would see her dragged down into the abyss with him. If he is to protect his fated mate and see their love through the coming adversity, Kalvin will have to remake himself into the powerful alpha he once was. Can he regain his abilities in time, or will the growing storm leave her broken and him bare? less

When the world outside is crumbling, sometimes you have to be bold and make a stand. Bear shifter Anthony Drake never wanted to be a billionaire. He never wanted the responsibility or public presence involved in running one of the nation's most promising and powerful startups. And yet, somehow, he'd ended up as President and CEO at the behest of his friend and the company's founder, with virtually zero business experience under his belt... moreWhen the world outside is crumbling, sometimes you have to be bold and make a stand. Bear shifter Anthony Drake never wanted to be a billionaire. He never wanted the responsibility or public presence involved in running one of the nation's most promising and powerful startups. And yet, somehow, he'd ended up as President and CEO at the behest of his friend and the company's founder, with virtually zero business experience under his belt. When things start looking rocky and he feels like he can't hold the company together anymore, Anthony decides to bring in some expert help. With one look at the curvaceous business savant, though, Anthony knows he's met his mate. Smart, educated, and spunky, Julie Flanders has been teaching Fortune 500 heirs and heiresses how to run their inherited businesses for the better part of a decade. She has a no-nonsense attitude and a take-no-prisoners approach to creating some of the most well-ran companies in the world. So when she's hired by the notoriously inept Anthony Drake to help turn his bumbling business around, Julie knows she has her work cut out for her. Worse than that, she can't help but find the soft-spoken gentle giant of a man dangerously attractive, something that all but violates her personal code of ethics. With a sharp deadline looming and secrets about Anthony's violent shifter past coming to light as a public relations nightmare, it's up to these two sharply contrasting individuals to right the ship before everything they've worked so hard to achieve collapses in front of their very eyes. It will take bold moves on both of their parts to stave off the impending disaster. Can Anthony keep his bear in check long enough to save the business and earn the respect and love of his mate? And will Julie be able to accept him despite his checkered past? Bear & Bold is a standalone story with no cliffhanger about a growly bear and the curvy girl who loves him. less
