Bear and Briar
(2027)(The fifth book in the Sugarpaw Springs series)
A novel by Fel Fern and Ria Lake
He found a wounded fox in the woods. He never expected to find his mate.
Dorian has spent years convincing himself he doesn't need anyone.
Living alone in a cabin deep in the forests of Sugarpaw Springs suits the gruff grizzly shifter just fine. His days are simple: bake bread at Bear & Bun, disappear back into the woods, and avoid people whenever possible. While every member of his found family has found their fated mate, Dorian has long accepted that fate simply skipped him.
Then he discovers an injured fox shifter collapsing on his property.
Briar is exhausted, wary, and carrying bruises that tell a story he refuses to share. Every instinct tells him to keep running, because stopping has always meant getting caught. But there's something different about the quiet bear who rescued him. Dorian asks for nothing, expects nothing... and somehow makes Briar feel safer than he's felt in years.
As days turn into weeks, the lonely cabin slowly transforms into a home. But Briar's past isn't finished with him. The abusive wolf alpha he's been running from is closing in, and he'll do anything to reclaim what he believes belongs to him. Fortunately for Briar, some bears don't let go once they've claimed what's theirs.
Bear and Briar is book 5 of the Sugarpaw Springs series.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
