Home with the Bear for Christmas
(2025)(The tenth book in the Beary Instalove Christmas series)
A Story by Ciera Knox
Bree
For years, I've watched from the edges—running the town's B&B, keeping the town's secrets, caring for everyone but never truly belonging. Then he returns. Weston carries grief I've only glimpsed, ghosts I've only heard whispered about. As Christmas approaches and old wounds surface, I find myself drawn into the story I've always observed from afar. For the first time, I want to be seen. I just never imagined it would be him who finally sees me.
Weston
I left because staying hurt too much. My best friend was gone, my clan shattered, and everything in Grizzly Hollow reminded me of what I'd lost. Now I'm back for one celebration—one chance to say goodbye properly. I didn't plan to stay. I didn't plan for her. Bree knows this town's heart better than anyone, and somehow, she's finding her way into mine. But can a man who ran from home ever truly come back?
Will the magic of Christmas and the courage to finally stop running be enough to bring two hearts home where they belong? Or will the weight of the past keep them from the future waiting in front of them?
Join Bree and Weston in this heartfelt, steamy conclusion to the season, where coming home means more than returning—it means finally choosing to stay!
