Beary Familiar by Ruby Shae

Polar bear shifter, Ridge Holland, is the second oldest Holland brother, and the only one out of his siblings that isn’t mated—yet. After years of waiting for something extraordinary to happen, he’s finally ready to face the fact that fate has something else in store for him. He’s not complaining, though. Not when he loves Jane way more than a best friend should.
Curvy girl, Jane Hart, has been best friends with Ridge for over twenty years, and she knows all about shifters. She also knows she’s not Ridge’s mate, even if he feels like hers, and that truth scares her more than she wants to admit. More so because once a shifter finds his mate, everything changes, and deep down, she knows she’ll lose more than her best friend.
Ridge knows he messed up with the whole mating thing in the past, and that he has some major groveling to do, but he isn’t worried. Okay, so he’s a little worried, but he knows he shouldn’t be. Not when he has the perfect plan, and the perfect gift, to show Jane that he’s serious about taking their relationship to the next level. Of course, things don’t always go according to plan, and when Jane realizes what Ridge has done, things will never be the same between them.
