This sexy millionaire bear is ready to embrace his wild side...
Mark Bronson is the newest addition at Bear Claw Security. Despite his fancy clothes and his former position as head of a highly successful company, he's now ready to use his big, muscular body for crunching bad guys instead of crunching numbers. When his first potential client walks in, with delicious curves and a smile that screams 'mate', he's ready to go into action. Until she says she doesn't want to work with him and would rather work with his rougher, tougher twin. It's a good thing that with the right clothing, Mark looks exactly like his brother, because he isn't going to let anyone else take on the task of protecting his mate.
Charlotte has had bad luck with men, and she needs Bear Claw Security to make sure that luck doesn't get worse. But she doesn't want to work with the first guy available. He's handsome, well-dressed and reminds her of things she'd rather forget. She's sure she'll be more comfortable with his twin, who's rougher and more relatable. When her new bodyguard shows up, she's surprised to see the same searing blue gaze and magnetic attraction as the man in the office. Despite there being something odd about the situation, Char quickly feels safe. She might even want more than simple protection from this man.
Like steamy kisses, and late night rendezvous, and maybe even something that lasts forever. Too bad Charlotte's evil ex might just have other ideas...
Bear to the End is a full-length shifter romance with action, adventure, steamy scenes, intense secrets and a growly bear hero who holds his own in the boardroom and the bedroom! Enjoy!

Product Description High above the river stood the small terrace of miners' cottages known as Fenwick Houses. Here, during the hazardous years of the Depression, lived Christine Winter, a girl blessed - or cursed - with that indefinable appeal that drives men to the brink of obsession. Three men dominated her life: her brother Ronnie; Sam, whose devotion was deep and loyal; and Don Dowling, cruel and tormented, who made it his life's ambition to possess her. To Ronnie and Sam she was joined by a thread of harmony; but Don was the needle through which the thread was drawn, and the point was sharp and deadly... But then, one day, a stranger came to the river bank and Christine found herself changed beyond recall. From the Publisher BRITAIN'S BEST-LOVED STORYTELLER Catherine Cookson's novels are about hardship, the intractability of life and of individuals, the struggle first to survive and next to make sense of one's survival. Humour, toughness, resolution and generosity are Cookson virtues, in a world which she often depicts as cold and violent. Her novels are weighted and driven by her own early experiences of illegitimacy and poverty. This is what gives them power. In the specialised world of women's popular fiction, Cookson has created her own territory' - Helen Dunmore, The Times Views: 24
Kidnapped and confined in a harem -- that's not the scenario Charlotte Quade envisioned when she prayed for just one grand adventure before sailing home to Washington Territory from Europe. While exploring the ancient, exotic island kingdom of Riz, Charlotte foolishly lost her way. In a dizzying moment, she was snatched, bound up in a sack and unceremoniously dumped -- completely naked! -- in the ship's cabin of the very same man who had caught her fancy as a young girl in Seattle: Captain Patrick Trevarran.But Charlotte's dream lover turned out to be no gentleman! He had once gallantly fetched her, as a mischievous teenager,from the riggings of his ship, but now he appraised her with exasperation and quickly packed her off to the harem of a sultan friend. When they were reunited -- as much by mercy as by fate -- it was clear that Patrick wished merely to tease and trifle with this pretty, rebellious American. But, through their adventure, Charlotte had discovered a provocative man torn between recklessness and devotion, between storm and calm. Now, with all the strength and passion she possessed, Charlotte would chart a course that would sweep them at last to their destiny -- a glorious and resounding love.From Publishers WeeklyIn 1877 Charlotte Quade has finished her tour of Europe and is longing for one " glorious adventure" before returning home to Washington Territory. No sooner does she express that desire in a letter to her sister than she is kidnapped in a marketplace on the island of Riz while traveling with family friends. The prize in a poker game, she is then delivered as a gift to Patrick Trevarren, a ship's captain on whom she has had a crush since she was caught climbing his rigging at the age of 13. Patrick deposits her in his friend the sultan Khalif's harem so that he can complete some business before accompanying her to Seattle, but she fears that he has abandoned her and tries to escape. To avoid punishment for her escape, she is forced to marry Patrick when he returns. The two then travel together but are soon called back to assist Khalif when his evil half brother tries to take over the palace. Miller ( Yankee Wife ) fills this frenetically paced romance with spirited repartee meant to recall The Taming of the Shrew, but while Charlotte is appealing and clever, her love interest is not her intellectual match, and his insistences that she stay out of trouble become tiresome.
