Beary Secure by Ruby Shae

Polar bear shifter, Ryker Holland, grew up way too fast when his parents were killed in a hunting accident when he was only eighteen years old. As the oldest, he’d fought hard to keep his family together, and he’d often filled the role of parent more than brother. Not that he minded. He loved his family, and he’d done the right thing in keeping them together, but raising three teenagers when he was barely an adult himself hadn’t been easy, and having no one to share his burdens with made for many lonely days.
Curvy girl, Selena Ellis, has always been a loner, but being alone had never bothered her until her choices were taken away. Now, in an effort to start over, and reclaim her independence, she relocates to the safety of Longmeadow, determined to live the rest of her life alone and undetected. Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned, and Ryker Holland is a distraction Lena doesn’t need.
Ryker can’t believe his luck when he walks into his coffee shop, Polar Bliss, and comes face-to-face with his mate. Deep down, he’d begun to wonder if he would ever find the one, but finding her, and convincing her to trust him were two separate things, and his mate was definitely hiding something. Lena can’t deny the instant connection she feels with Ryker, but her horrible past makes getting involved with anyone is a luxury she can’t afford. She won’t risk putting anyone else in danger, even if she feels safe for the first time in years just standing by his side. Luckily, Ryker never backs down from a challenge, and soon his mate will understand what it means to be mated to a bear.
