The New Bear in Town
(2025)(The first book in the Bear Mountain Shifters series)
A novel by Lucy Varna
Juniper Daves knows how to handle herself. But when shifters start settling in Silver Valley, even she isn’t prepared for the quiet intensity of bear shifter Rafe Presley.
Rafe doesn’t want trouble. He just wants a home—and maybe, if fate’s kind, a mate. The moment he catches Junie in his arms, something shifts. There’s a pull between them he can’t ignore and instincts he can’t suppress.
An instinct to protect her stubbornly independent self, even when she doesn't want him to. An instinct to discover if she's truly his mate.
Junie isn’t sure she believes in all that mate stuff, but there’s something about Rafe. Something steady and protective. Something dangerous, in the way a man can be when he’s not afraid to fight for what matters.
But trouble has followed the shifters to town. The same people who hunted Rafe and his brothers before they settled in Silver Valley are now trying to turn the town against its local shifter community—and Junie is caught right in the crossfire.
Rafe will do whatever it takes to protect his new home, no matter how high the cost. But the hardest battle may be convincing Junie that she's his mate...and that she belongs with him heart, body, and soul.
A small-town, fated mates shifter romance full of fierce protectors, independent heroines, found family, and the kind of love that refuses to back down.
