Hunted By The Wild Bear Shifter
(2026)(A book in the Redwood Ridge Shifters series)
A Story by Demi Wilder
She's running from a monster. She just ran straight into mine.
My bear has always been the wildest of the sleuth. The one even my brothers step around. I've spent thirty-two years convinced I was only good for one thing ''' standing between this valley and whatever wanted to hurt it.
Then I find her on a logging road. Black eye. Trembling hands. And the scent — shifter, female, terrified — that stops my grizzly mid-step.
Tessa Byrne is an Aspen Hollow black bear. Tiny. Gentle. Promised by her own elders to a Crescent male as payment for a debt. She fought him, broke his nose, took his keys, and ran.
He's coming for her.
My bear, who has never been gentle with anything, lies down in the snow to bring himself to her level. He doesn't want to scare her. He wants her to see — I am the biggest thing in these woods, and I am yours, and nothing is ever going to touch you again.
She thinks her gentleness is why she was traded. She thinks softness is weakness. She doesn't understand yet that the wildest bear in Bear Creek Valley has been waiting his whole life for something soft enough to protect.
The Crescent male will cross into Ridgewood territory. The sleuth will close ranks. And the Aspen Hollow elders who sold her are about to learn what happens when a Ridgewood Warden's bear chooses something they thought they could throw away.
Hunted by the Wild Bear Shifter is a fated-mates bear shifter romance featuring the wildest grizzly in the sleuth, the gentle black bear who tames him without trying, and a cross-sleuth confrontation that will redraw the maps. Guaranteed HEA. No cheating. No cliffhangers.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
