Alex Gentry doesn’t scare easily. Working as an undercover FBI agent in the biker bar he and his brothers co-own, he hangs with deadly criminals in order to gather information. Danger is just part of the family business. But one thing has him terrified: his attraction to Madison Parker.

Madison is the cousin of Ramon Alonzo, son and second in command to a notorious drug lord Alex is trying to bust. Alex has befriended Ramon as part of his cover, and Madison has unknowingly become his informant. Falling for her could risk this case—and both their lives.

All Madison wants is to get her new bookstore business off the ground, and for her creepy cousin Ramon—to whom she’s unfortunately indebted—to leave her alone. If she could only stop fantasizing about his mysterious new friend, Alex…

As the Alonzo cartel investigation heats up, so does their relationship. But will the secrets they’re keeping tear them apart—or get them both killed?

The first time I saw Carsen Wheatley, I flipped him off.
The second time, I kneed him in the balls.
The third? I kissed him.

Why? Because Carsen needed it.

Angry and full of hate, Carsen is a lost soul, searching. Since the death of his mother, he’s cold and isolated, needing someone to fill the gap she left wide open, someone to kiss the anger from his soul.

That’s where I come in.

I’m restless, on the search for a new adventure, something to make me feel…well, anything. I’m certain I’ll find a permanent fix soon, but in the meantime, I have this summer job and Carsen to keep me going.

But the summer is only temporary, and so is the fix.

We are imperfect.
We are mismatched.
We are the stars.

*This is a stand-alone upper YA/NA contemporary novella.*

Rock Brolin would rather jump over flaming buses on his motorcycle than face his tiny hometown of Bear Canyon. When he does go back, there’s only one thing that makes it worthwhile: seeing Rosalyn Morton. With his past, he knows he can never have the confident, curvaceous woman who was once his childhood best friend. But that doesn’t stop him from wanting her. Or stalking her. Or hell, protecting her from other bear shifters as an excuse to stay by her side…

Ros would like to boot sexy Rock Brolin and his mixed messages right out of her bar. He wants to watch her back? More like her backside. But right now she’s alone with every male shifter in bear country coming after her, so she’s not in a place to turn down help. Not even when it comes in the handsome, confusing package of the man she has always been in love with. But while he’s protecting her body, who is going to protect her heart?

The longer Rock stays in Bear Canyon, the more he feels the intense pressures of his past and the unrequited love between him and Rosalyn that turns into a glowing bonfire whenever they touch. For the first time in his life, he’s determined to stay in Bear Canyon, even if it kills him. The only problem? It just might.

Craved by the bear is the second book in the Trapped in Bear Canyon series, and features a persistent, sexy bear shifter who would literally walk through fire for his woman. It contains sexy love scenes, intense action sequences, and a man with a dark past who is just plain obsessed with his curvy lady.
