title: Bearly Mated to the Grizzly
author: Snow, Jenika
description: I'd once been a great dancer. A ballerina. But an injury ended my career, had me longing to go back in time, had me loathing the city and the very profession I'd once loved.  So, I decided to get away from it all, go out in the middle of nowhere to clear my head, and focus on what was important. Things were going great until a bear was at my back door, trying to get in. And it ended with me wielding a knife for protection and realizing it wasn't just any bear, but a shifter who claimed to be my mate.  Maddix. Strong and powerful, his very presence had me questioning my entire existence. The mating was fast and furious, potent and real. It was everything I ever wanted, and everything I never thought I'd have.  It was all wrapped in one whirlwind, insta-lust experience.  But could I give myself over fully to Maddix? Could I truly leave the city and the life I'd always known behind?  Could I do it all for the promise of love from one possessive, territorial bear shifter who would do anything to make me happy?  Because if there was one thing Maddix made very clear, it was now that he had found me, he wasn't letting me go.
