I came to Bear Lake with one goal: capture the authentic texture of summer adventure tourism for a top magazine. What I didn't expect was to be completely disoriented by my ridiculously handsome, high-energy tour guide. Jonah Wilder is all kinetic charm and endless momentum, and every time we touch, literal, visible sparks fly between us. But when my silver halide film starts capturing impossible things—glowing gold eyes, inhuman movement speed, and massive four-legged shadows on the water—I have to decide if I'm going to hide behind my viewfinder, or step into the frame to discover Bear Lake's wildest secret.

Jonah

As the youngest cousin of the Bear Lake shifter clan and owner of the local adventure company, I’ve spent my life playing the fun, easygoing guy nobody takes too seriously. Then Sage arrives with her vintage cameras and sharp, observant eyes, threatening to expose the supernatural secrets I'm supposed to keep hidden. She's meant to be a risk to my family, but the moment I see her, my bear recognizes something that changes everything—she's my fated mate. With the Midsummer Surge amplifying our magic and her undeniable photographic evidence backing me into a corner, I'm caught between protecting my clan and my desperate need to prove to the woman who sees everything that I am exactly enough.

Can a guarded photographer and an impulsive bear shifter find common ground when the truth comes to light? Or will the undeniable magic of the Midsummer Surge be strong enough to transform them both?

Join Jonah and Sage in this steamy installment of Bear Lake Summer, where love blooms wild against the backdrop of mountain magic and fated mate bonds!
