The Bear's Second Chance Mate
(2025)(The fifth book in the Bear Creek Forever: Thornberg Vineyard series)
A novel by Harmony Raines
Wrong address. Right mate.
One mistaken message from his brother Finn, and Stanley Thornberg ends up at the wrong garden… staring into the eyes of his fated mate.
Yes—it’s another of Finn’s matchmaking mix-ups. And Stanley couldn’t be happier.
But something in those eyes, in the way June fiercely shields her son, makes him hold back. Revealing their connection too soon could spook her—and losing her would be unbearable. So he waits. Helps. Proves, day by day, that she and Oli belong in Bear Creek… and in his life.
‘You can’t be mates.’
That’s what June’s Aunt Barb tells her. But no one warned her how impossible it would be to ignore the instant attraction she feels toward Bear Creek’s handsome pet store owner—or the way her shy son comes alive around him. Still, June’s been burned before, and she won’t risk her heart or Oli’s stability on a man who might not stay.
Or worse—might only be interested in her until his real mate comes along.
When secrets surface, June must decide if she’s ready to believe in fate''' and in the bear shifter who’s already claimed her heart.
