Thorn (Bears of Burden, #1)

Fortunately, fate doesn’t care one iota what they want, she’ll give ‘em what they need.

This is the first book in the Bears of Burden series which centers around the small southwestern town of Burden, Texas, where good ol’ bears, Hawthorne, Wyatt, Hutch, Sterling, and Sam are living easy. With jobs they love, beer flowing freely, and pretty women in abundance, the last thing these shifters are thinking about is finding a mate or settling down. But, fate has its own plans….

Allie McMichael is running scared. Not from monsters in the closet, or creepy things under the bed, she’s scared of commitment.
She has every reason to be scared after experiencing the pain of infidelity and after watching her parents’ failure of a marriage. On the run from a would-be fiancé, she finds a temp job bartending and waitressing in a small Texas town out in the middle of nowhere.
True love is not on the agenda until she meets her big, burly boss, hot-as-hell Thorn Canton who lights her fires in all the right places.

Bear shifter Thorn Canton is living the easy life.
A successful tavern owner, he’s surrounded by good buddies, beer on tap, and an endless supply of women to keep him company. He has no plans -- whatsoever -- of getting hitched up, or of finding a mate.
In fact, to Thorn, a mate might be a fate worse than death.
