Bear-ly Spring by M. L. Briers, A.B. Lee

Elijah hated his brother with a vengeance and Jethro felt the same. Every time that they crossed paths on the mountain they wanted to rip each other apart. This time, however, things were different; Elijah had found his mate and he needed to protect her.
With the terms of their father’s Will ringing in his ears, Jethro knew that his brother finding a mate meant that all the land, including his home, would be his brother’s for the taking. There was nothing that he could do about that until fate stepped in and sent his mate to him.

The first man to woo their mate gets the land, but there were others that wanted to hedge their bets, and Elijah’s mate became the target in a deadly plan that spiralled out of control leaving everyone in danger.
