Bear This by Tasha Black

Dreamy volunteer firefighter Ethan Chambers is everyone’s hero. But when a familiar young woman with a magical secret arrives at his doorstep can he manage to play the gentleman? Or will this fireman burn for something more?

Volunteer firefighter Ethan Chambers leads a charmed life. The golden boy high school quarterback is a gorgeous grown up now with a great job, and a hobby that makes him a hero around town. But an unbearable sense of loneliness is making Tarker’s Hollow Fire Department’s favorite guy restless this holiday season.

Bear shifter Evangeline has escaped captivity in a secret research facility. All she wants is to run a quick errand in the town she called home for one magical year. Then she can try to outrun her dark past. But when a snowstorm of epic proportions hits Tarker’s Hollow, even a she-bear needs a warm place to hole up. Seeking shelter at the public firehouse on Christmas Eve, she winds up snowed in with the man she’s dreamt of since high school.

Join Ethan and Evangeline for a treasure hunt, a chili cook-off, and a second chance to find love in their own backyard. Just as things seem to be coming together, forces of evil threaten their newfound happiness. Will Evangeline crumble? Or will she be able to bear this challenge?
