The Bear's Perfect Mate (Bear Creek Forever: Thornberg Vineyard Book 4)

Finn strikes again! And this time it's Nero turn to find his mate
One accidental proposal. Two fated mates.
And a love that changes everything.

After a painful betrayal, culinary artist Sophie Truro is determined to rebuild her life—and her brand, Eat It Simple with Sophie. A weekend in Bear Creek promoting a wedding expo is the perfect no pressure, no paparazzi, and no more spotlight-stealing exes.
Then Nero Thornberg stumbles at her feet—literally—with an engagement ring in his hand.
The viral moment that follows flips Sophie’s life upside down. Again.
She came to Bear Creek to focus on her career, not to fall for a brooding, impossibly handsome jeweler who makes her feel far too much.
Nothing about Nero Thornberg is simple.
And nothing about the way he makes her feel is either.

Falling at his mate’s feet wasn’t exactly how Nero Thornberg planned to meet the woman of his dreams.
But the moment his senses Sophie, he she’s the one.
She’s also guarded, wary, and wounded. But somehow, he has to win her trust. And her heart.
But just as their bond begins to bloom into something deeper, Sophie’s past threatens to destroy the future they’re building.
