My Mountain Bear
(2026)(The second book in the Shifter Mountain Mates series)
A novel by Julie Ranseth
On Shifter Mountain, logic has no defense against fate.
Bear attacks near the shifter haven should be simple to investigate—follow the evidence, protect both sides, keep the peace. But every clue leads me to an inevitable conclusion: the attackers are rogue shifters hunting a terrified teen hidden on Shifter Mountain. A boy who's done nothing wrong except survive.
Caleb is a gruff bear shifter with storm-dark eyes who looks at me like I’m his. One touch, and my controlled world shatters. But he’s sheltering the runaway the rogue sleuth is hunting—and they’re the same sleuth terrorizing the town. If I help him, I'm choosing sides. Choosing him.
I've built my career on facts and logic, not feelings. My mother let emotions destroy our lives, and I swore I'd never make her mistakes. But when the sleuth closes in and Caleb faces them alone, I realize the most terrifying choice isn't between right and wrong. It's between the life I've planned and the man my heart won’t let go of.
How do I choose my heart when I've spent a lifetime trusting only my head?
My Mountain Bear is a short, steamy instalove romance featuring a protective bear shifter with a traumatic past, a wildlife specialist who doesn't trust her heart, a found family worth fighting for, and enough heat to melt snow. Fall in love with Caleb and Iris today.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
