Ella Morales wants her life to stay simple.

She's known heartache, but the small town she made her home helped heal her wounds, allowing her to seek comfort in the bear community her late fiancé was part of.

For five years, her life is full of energy and warmth, even though she's a lone human among a group of shifters.

Ella is happy---and then she loses her father figure, boss, and dear friend. What change can come next?

Ethan James seems like another handsome, mindless corporate 'Yes Man', and Ella is poised to avoid him when he takes over the company, expecting him to be heartless and to stay an outsider.

To her surprise, not only is Ethan compassionate and understanding, there is a wealth of passionate chemistry between the two clamoring to be explored.

Ella can't stay away from him, and Ethan doesn't want her to---but can he handle the truth about their shared destiny, or will the heat be unbearable?
