And it’s all starting to pay off. I’m working on a huge project—a lawsuit against law enforcement—for the barberic use of dart guns on our kind. And soon enough, I’ll be taking over the entire law firm.Over the years I’ve done better than I could have ever expected. I’m able to keep my animal urges under control by taming my inner bear. I found a place where I belong—where all species of bear and all race of man—are welcomed as family. And, I’m a carefree soul, nothing really fazes me.Until I meet my fated-mate...She’s not exactly what I expected. She’s only in town on court conditions; charged with arson, after burning her ex-boyfriends car to pieces. But that’s not the worst of it…As it happens, I’m not exactly her usual type. Well educated, mild mannered, and ah… black! See, my fated-mate hails from a long line of… how do I say this politely? Lets just say she would describe herself as—a redneck that dances on the wrong side of the law.The Bear Gods must be having a laugh at me!Despite it all, I can't help the way I feel about her. She’s as feisty as they come, crazy-charming and I know her sharp tongue will keep me on my toes. I’ve never wanted anything more in my life.

Warning: this story is short, hot and explosive. Intended for readers 18 years and over. There’s a bit of steam, lots of cursing & adult themes like prejudism & discrimination are explored throughout the series, (in a light hearted kind of way).I hope you enjoyTracey xo less
