| Because of responsibilities, Logan had to leave his mate behind. Now he has returned to hopefully claim Shea as his and not a moment too soon, because danger is stalking them in this captivating paranormal romance. Because of what happened to her sister, Shea is raising her nephew as her own and she's kind of hesitant about taking on a large polar bear shifter as a mate. The reader can't help but get caught up in the story as Logan returns to claim her, only to find that they both have secrets to share. Shea and Logan captivates readers with their giving and loving hearts as well as their burning hot attraction to each other. The fast-paced and smooth-flowing plot keeps readers on their toes with lots of suspense, excitement and passion. Spine tingling anticipation builds not only in the romance department as the readers wait to see how the relationship proceeds but also because a dangerous character from Shea's past has found them and he won't stop until he gets what's his. I was completely enthralled by the well written scenes and details that brought this captivating story to life and the fascinating characters that call Wild, Montana home has definitely ensured that I will be visiting them again. |

| Indigo has a lot going on; she has to help the alpha with a rescue, help her very pregnant and moody friend and find out why Nico is avoiding her even though he knows she is his mate in this riveting shifter romance. This fast paced and smooth flowing plot grabs the readers' attention from the very beginning and holds them captive throughout with suspense, excitement and romance. Indigo is slow to trust and the reader can't help but get caught up in her romance with Nico as she tries to understand why he is avoiding her. Their chemistry burns hot but their mating isn't going so well with emotional issues from Indigo's past holding her back and Nico's secrets. The well written scenes and details capture the imagination as spine tingling tension builds when the hunters capture one of their own and Indigo has to use her special talents to help rescue the alpha's sister. Between the romantic drama and the thrilling rescue, not to mention trying to stay out of the pregnant lady's way, there is never a dull moment. To spice things up, there is even a very cheerful, feel-good scene to warm every reader's heart. While I certainly wish this one had been longer, the author packed a lot of story into this novella full of strong captivating and interesting characters. I can't wait to read the next one. |

Chapter 1
Shea
finished wiping down the table in the Wild Animal Diner and breathed a sigh of
relief. She was exhausted. It was only eleven o’clock at night, but it seemed
over the last few weeks that her energy was draining more and more. All she
wanted to do was go home, take a shower, and crawl into bed. But she knew it
would still be a while before that was possible. She took the rag back to the
cleaning area and left it with the other laundry that the manager and owner,
Mike, would deal with. She went and retrieved her purse from the back room and
waited for Joe, the cook, to join her.
Joe
was a nice guy. He always made sure that when she left there was someone to
walk her to her car or down the street to her house.
“You
ready?” Joe asked as he walked toward the back door where Shea was standing.
“Yes.
Thanks,” Shea replied, and Joe nodded his head. The badger shifter was a quiet
man but kind. He was about five foot eight with black hair with white on the
sides. He was stocky and somewhat muscular, and Shea thought that he was quite
handsome. He had nice, light brown eyes, and he never raised his voice. She
liked that about him. He didn’t intimidate her like many of the shifters in
Wild.
Tonight
Shea had walked to work, but by the chill in the air she knew that she would
soon have to start driving again. Wild, Montana was a nice place to live, but
she had to admit that it got downright cold sometimes. It was only September,
but the first snow would most likely fall by the second week in October, and
the cold would be right there, ready to take over the beautiful green that
surrounded Wild.
They
walked in silence until they reached the white picket gate to her home. Before
going through the gate and into the house, Shea turned to Joe.
“Thank
you for walking me,” Shea said in a quiet, kind voice.
“You
are always welcome,” Joe said and met her eyes. He hesitated to say whatever he
was thinking, so Shea prodded him on.
“Is
there something else, Joe?” She waited for his response. He hesitated a moment
longer, until saying what was on his mind.
“Yes.
Shea, you know that if you ever need any help, I’m here for you, right?” His
words didn’t surprise her. That was just the kind of man Joe was. She knew that
he was aware of her situation, and that he was being nice, but she didn’t want
to take advantage of the man, either. She smiled kindly at him.
“Thank
you very much, Joe. I am very lucky to have you in my life.” She turned and
walked through the gate and back into her life. She wouldn’t change anything,
but there were times when it was very hard to know what to do.
The
fact that Shea knew her mate would be coming for her soon didn’t calm her.
Whenever she thought of him, her heartbeat quickened, and she got uncomfortably
turned on. She also felt the fear of her past come up and try to strangle her,
but she kept it at bay. It wasn’t as if it was her mate’s fault that he was so
big, but she wasn’t sure she could handle him.
Shea
said goodbye to her neighbor, Mrs. Carmichael, who had been watching over the
most precious thing in her world and went upstairs. The house was not huge, but
it suited her needs for now. She knew that in the next few years, she would
either have to build on, which there was plenty of room for, or move into a
larger place. The house had dark hardwood floors and charming molding that
endeared it to Shea’s heart.
As
she reached the top of the stairs, she turned left and stopped at the door at
the end of the hall. She had perfected being quiet over the past three years
with Hudson in the house, so she didn’t make a sound as she opened the door.
Shea
smiled when she saw him sprawled out on his bed with his head hanging off one side
and his feet the other. No matter how many times a night Shea put him back on
the bed, he ended up sideways again. She still went over and put him on the bed
properly, but didn’t bother to cover him up. He would throw the covers off in
an instant, and his body needed the colder temperature. Shea wasn’t sure how
his body was going to change in the next few months, and even over the next few
years, but she thought that he was going to like and maybe need the cold more
as his bear grew.
Shea
thought of the fact that the mate she discovered three months before was a
polar bear, and wondered what the future held. She was afraid of the size of
her mate, but she wasn’t sure that she could deny him when he came back. She
was going to need help with Hudson, especially because his bear was getting
bigger and bigger, and Hudson didn’t seem to be able to control his shift as
much.
Shea
left Hudson’s door open and walked to the other end of the short hallway and
past the stairs to her room. She immediately went into the bathroom and started
the shower. As she showered, she let her thoughts drift back to the past.
Shea
had been terrified when she had shown up at a hospital in the middle of Wyoming
to see her sister. Her sister had been lying in a hospital bed, broken, bruised,
and near death, when Shea had arrived. Anna had always been the most wonderful
sister to her, and it pained her still to think of the brutal way she had died.
Anna had pulled Shea to her and whispered her most precious secret in her ear.
She had a son. He had been born a month before and was being hidden by a very
nice older woman in rural Colorado.
Shea
hadn’t known what to say until Anna had explained the rest. That shifters
existed, and that Hudson’s father was one. Anna had thought she had met the man
of her dreams when she had found Darius. It had turned out that the polar bear
shifter had a big temper and was very possessive. When Anna had started to fear
for her safety, she fled with her son still in her stomach.
Once
Hudson had been born, Darius had been getting closer and closer to finding them,
so Anna had led him away from their son. Anna was in a motel in Wyoming when
Darius found her. He tortured her for the information on his son’s whereabouts,
but Anna told him nothing. When she was so close to death that Darius couldn’t
smell the lie on her, she told him that she had taken the child to Canada.
Darius
left Anna for dead, and the hospital called Shea. Her sister begged her to take
care of Hudson and told her where to go. Anna had told her that Wild, Montana
was a shifter town where she would have help raising a shifter and would be
protected. Shea had stayed next to Anna for the next hour after that, until her
body gave out from all the trauma.
Shea
had made her way to Colorado and picked up her nephew and gone straight to
Wild. When she had arrived, she found a job at the diner and the house, and she
settled in. Hudson had been so cute as a baby, with spikey white hair, and,
instead of arctic blue eyes, he had her and her sister’s bright green eyes.
When he shifted, his eyes turned a paler green, and he was the cutest ball of
fur. The first time he shifted it had scared her. But she soon realized he was
much tougher in bear form than human and that he still listened, so she didn’t
worry that he might run off into the woods.
Shea
put on pajamas and crawled into bed for a good night’s sleep. Her world was
about Hudson, and now she had to consider what to do about the mate that had
shown up and the energy-draining gift he had given her. She never saw the man
that had followed her progress home or how he sat in the woods behind her house
watching for most of the night.

Polar Bear's Heart Excerpts
Story Excerpt
“You should wait for me before attempting
to come down the stairs. It’s dangerous now that the baby is getting so big.”
Logan spoke gently to his mate, sensing that she was upset about something, and
she tended to get emotional for no apparent reason sometimes. He knew it was
because of the hormones, but he hated it when she cried. But his mate did not
start crying or anything else he expected. She shocked the hell out of him when
his mate got to the bottom of the stairs, turned to face him, and growled at
him.
“I
can go down the stairs just fine without you holding me and my giant belly up!”
She was snarling, and though it was completely inappropriate, Logan was getting
turned on. His mate never spoke to him like this or got mad. “I don’t need your
furry butt to tell me that I am as big as a house and that I’m ugly!” She
turned to walk away, and Logan stopped her.
“Ugly?
Baby, what are you talking about? You are the most gorgeous thing I have ever
laid my eyes on.” Logan kept a calm, soothing tone, but it seemed to enrage her
more. She pushed him, though he refused to budge and snarled at him again.
“Don’t
lie to me! If I was any kind of attractive to you, we would be mated by now!”
After she yelled the words, she seemed to realize what she said and clamped her
lips shut. Logan’s head was spinning at the accusations, and he was at a loss
for words. Before he could respond to her accusations, someone knocked on the
door. He grumbled at his mate.
“This
conversation is not over,” He insisted, and went to answer the door. Not
find her attractive? How could she possibly think that? He woke up next to
her every morning with a cock as hard as concrete, but kept his distance so as
not to scare her. He was grumbling to himself when he opened the door.
Logan
stood there blinking for a moment at the sight before him. The alpha female of
the Grey pack stood before him in all of her five foot four glory, with her
arms lying calmly at her sides. Next to her was Indigo, mate to one of the
betas, with a very noticeable pregnancy of her own. Behind them were Nia and
Sade, two of the alpha female’s closest friends and perhaps a little protection.
Caleb was possessive of his mate, and also took her security and that of his
children and family very seriously.
“Good
morning, Logan,” Eira said in a happy, upbeat voice that made Logan suspicious.
“Good
morning, Eira. Can I help you with something?” Logan wasn’t sure what was going
on, but he didn’t think he was going to like it.
“Sure.
You can go get Shea. We are going to the spa today.” Eira seemed delighted to
tell him something he didn’t know, and smirked at him. That was when Logan was
sure that his quiet little mate had been complaining to the alpha female about
what was making her so upset with him. Before he could answer, he was nudged
aside by his little mate, who was walking fairly quickly for being so large.
Shea
had a bag slung over her shoulder, and Logan’s bear snarled. Logan didn’t
realize he had growled, until his mate turned and narrowed her eyes at him.
“Did
you just growl at me?” She demanded, while not raising her voice. But Logan
wasn’t fooled. He had one very pissed off mate. Logan cleared his throat and
verbally jumped off a cliff, put his foot not just in his mouth, but all the
way down his throat, and pissed off five predator women standing on his porch.
He had no doubt that though his mate and the alpha female were human, they were
just as much predators as the shifter women.
“I’m
not sure it’s a good idea for you to be out of the house. It might not be
safe.” Eira snorted at him and turned to walk down the steps and leave him with
his fuming mate.
“I
will be perfectly safe, and I can assure you that with the way I am feeling,
only a stupid ass polar bear would think that anything or anyone could do me
any harm right now!” By the time she reached the end of her statement, she was
yelling and breathing hard from the exertion. Logan watched her catch her
breath, breathing in and out. As she composed herself, she met his eyes. “I
will be back tonight. The kids are playing in their new playroom. I am not
going anywhere except the spa and back here. I will stay safe.” With the
parting comment, she turned around and waddled down the steps to the other
women. Logan let her go and hoped he would be able to fix the anger he had
caused in his mate. He wanted to keep her safe and he had the lingering feeling
that all wasn’t right around them. His instinct was to hunt the potential
threat and eliminate it but he wasn’t about to leave his family right
then.
Adult Excerpt
“Come here.” Logan waved a finger and
pointed in front of him. Shea crawled to the side of the bed where he stood,
and looked up at her mate. She sat back on her knees and waited. She didn’t
mind him being in charge. She really liked it, based on her heightened arousal.
Logan’s hand came up and caressed her cheek.
“We
go at your pace. If there is something you don’t like, you tell me.” Shea
nodded her acceptance to Logan. He stepped closer to her, and her gaze was
drawn to the hard cock in front of her now. Shea wanted to touch it, but waited
for Logan to inform her of what to do. “Touch me. You want to, so do it.” His
voice just made her even more wet, and she was sure her pants were going to be
soaked soon, just as her panties were.
Shea
reached out and grasped Logan’s cock. The soft steel of his erection made her
moan. She squeezed him and slid her hand up and down him.
“Mmmm.
Yeah, baby. Just like that.” Logan’s words spurred her on, and she got a rhythm
going. “Damn.” He cursed again, and Shea felt powerful and sexy. She was making
this huge, sexy man moan in pleasure. She licked her lips and continued to
stare at her hand, giving him pleasure.
“Lick
it.” Shea’s eyes shot up to Logan’s. His eyes had turned arctic blue, and he
was looking down at her like he wanted to rip her clothes off and fuck her as
hard and fast as he could. Shea was all for that, but she knew her mate had
something to prove. “Lick the head, sweetheart. You want to, and I definitely
want you to.” Shea kept eye contact and leaned forward. She stuck her tongue
out and took one long swipe of the tip of his cock. Logan grunted, and she
moaned at the taste. He tasted salty and sweet all together, and she licked him
again.
Shea
couldn’t get enough of her mate’s hard cock, and she wanted more. She settled
her mouth onto the tip and sucked him into her mouth. She felt Logan grip her
hair and guide her. It was the most intense, erotic thing that she had ever
felt, having him dominate her attentions. She sucked him deeper and deeper
until he hit the back of her throat. He wasn’t all the way in, but Shea wasn’t
sure how to do that.
“Relax
your throat, and it will massage the head.” Logan instructed her, and she did
just that. He slid the rest of the way in, and she gripped him in her throat.
She swallowed around him, and he moaned long and low. Shea realized that was
something he really liked, and did it again.
After
a few more times, Logan’s hand tightened in her hair, and he pulled her off of
him.
“But
I wasn’t finished,” Shea complained, and gave him a disgruntled look. He smiled
down at her and caressed her jaw.
“I
know, baby. Next time, I’ll let you play and have your fun. But for now, I want
you naked.” She shivered, and he chuckled at his words.
Logan
reached for the hem of her shirt and drew it over her belly and breasts and,
finally, her head. Her breasts were quite swollen and nearly falling out of her
black satin bra. She wondered if she should have invested in more sexy
lingerie. Men liked that, didn’t they? Her bra and panties served only a
functional purpose, and while they weren’t ugly, they weren’t specifically alluring
either.
“What’s
wrong, love?” Logan asked, breaking her out of her inner dialogue.
“I
was wondering if you would prefer me in more sexy lingerie than a strictly
useful bra.” The words slipped out, and Shea was embarrassed. She wouldn’t look
at Logan, until he lifted her chin to meet his eyes.
“You
are beautiful. I love everything about your body.” His hand swept along her
belly, and the baby kicked him, causing them both to smile. “If you want to go
lingerie shopping, I would be happy to go with you, but all I need is you
naked.” He knelt on the floor, and took her face in his hands. He pressed a gentle
kiss that turned heated, as he pressed his tongue into her mouth and she sucked
on it . “Lean back, baby,” he
said after breaking the kiss.
Shea
leaned back on her hands and watched Logan pull her pants from her body. She
was left in nothing but her bra and underwear, which he quickly fixed. He
reached behind her and unhooked her bra. Her heavier-than-usual breasts were
pulled from the bra.
Logan’s
finger gently touched the tip of her erect nipple. Then he bent his head and
licked it. Shea’s nipples were already sensitive, and his actions sent a pulse
straight down to her clit. She moaned and pressed her breast more firmly into
his face. He made a noise of pleasure at her actions and sucked the nipple into
his mouth. His other hand slid up to cup her other breast and began playing
with her other nipple.
Shea was squirming around beneath Logan, getting more and
more turned on. After his attentions were divided between her breasts for a
while, Shea couldn’t stop the plea that tumbled from her mouth.
