Bonded To The Steady Bear Shifter
(2026)(A book in the Redwood Ridge Shifters series)
A Story by Demi Wilder
She came with secrets. My bear came with certainty.
I'm the responsible one. While my brothers patrol territory and pick fights and run timber crews, I keep the books, manage the contracts, and make sure the sleuth has the resources to stay alive. My bear is patient. Methodical. Content with spreadsheets at midnight.
I told myself I was content too.
Then Diana Cruz arrives at Sterling's door — Crescent Sleuth exile, former bookkeeper for an Alpha who's now hunting her, carrying records that could change everything — and my bear lifts his head for the first time in a decade.
Hers. Now.
She's grieving. She's exhausted. She has information the sleuth desperately needs and a price on her head she hasn't told anyone about. She doesn't know how to be wanted for herself instead of for what she can do.
I'm going to teach her.
I hire her as my bookkeeper. I give her an office next to mine. I work late every night because she works late every night. And the first time her grizzly emerges in my office at midnight — silvered, exhausted, and so quietly home — my bear lays his head in her lap and refuses to move.
The Crescent Alpha is going to find her eventually. The intelligence she carries is going to ignite something the sleuth has been preparing for. And when the war comes, Diana Cruz isn't going to run.
She's going to stand. With me. As mine.
Bonded to the Steady Bear Shifter is a fated-mates bear shifter romance featuring a quiet grizzly bookkeeper, the exile who knows where the bodies are buried, and the slow burn that turns into a sleuth-wide reckoning. Guaranteed HEA. No cheating. No cliffhangers.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
