Gabriel Turner, bear shifter and owner of the Wild Bear bar, knows firsthand that fated mates don’t exist. If they did, he would be happily mated with a cub on the way, not drawn to the curvy, shifter-hating waitress he employs.

When he does something crazy for a woman he just met, he’s forced to reevaluate his decisions. Michelle is crushed when she catches Gabe in a lie, but she’s devastated when she realizes he will never see her as anything more than his employee. In an effort to move on, she starts looking for another job, but Gabe won’t make leaving easy. When the truth is revealed, they both must decide whether to listen to their heads, or their hearts.
