Billionaire Bear’s Human Mate by Alicia Banks

He started out her savior, then her boss, next her obsession, and then her everything. Nothing was ever going to be the same again for these two fated mates, not after destiny got done with them.

Vivica:
I got into a jam, a pretty bad one.
Guys were circling me with bad intentions, and I thought that this was it, my need to rebel had finally caught up with me.
Then, Shane came out of nowhere and beat them up. I thanked him, but he wanted to help me more, in all sorts of ways.
He was gentle in one moment, an egotistical jerk the next.
The powerful billionaire was a conundrum I didn’t understand and so much more.
I took the job offered, and I got to see him as a bossy jerk that always got his way.
He was savage with his business, but still soft-spoken with me.
I wanted him.
Shouldn’t. Couldn’t. But wanted him, nonetheless.
I just knew that Shane was the only one, the one I’d been waiting for all this time.
When we touched, the power unleashed was unlike anything I’d ever felt.

Shane:
As a bear shifter, I usually didn’t help weak humans.
I saw tragedy every day and stayed away from it.
I didn’t need the hassle. But one scream in the middle of the night drew me in.
I needed to help, even before I saw the beautiful human in trouble.
Her attackers meant her grave harm, and I couldn’t let it happen.
I had to save her, she was so young and innocent.
Bringing her home with me, hiring her as a personal assistant, none of those things were planned.
I just wanted her close, wanted to know why she had been brought into my sphere.
As the days unfolded, it became clear the attraction to her was more a punishment.
I couldn’t have her, yet desperately desired her over all else.
I knew the rules. I knew that she was off-limits, but my bear couldn’t stop.
I was a shifter, she was a human, it could never be.
Unless it was written in prophecies, and it was all fated from the beginning. Falling for Vivica was going to take them down a path of discovery and danger. Shane swore to keep her safe, protect her from everything, even from his own clan that banished him years before. No one was going to take Vivica away from him, no matter what.
