CLAW & Relent by Josie Walker

She’ll have to learn to love herself first…

While taking down a group of gangster tigers, bear shifter Henry Towns finds an unexpected surprise: his mate. He was fine with his single life… right up until the moment he wasn’t. Now he faces the impossible task of trying to convince the beautiful human that not all shifters are bad so she can fall in love with him. Then they can live happily ever after and have lots of bear cubs together.
Unfortunately, the human happens to be Grace Hubbard, who wouldn’t have described herself as beautiful in a million years. Thanks to a childhood of cruel abuse, she’s been conditioned to view herself as small, mousy, and worthless. After she gets over her initial shock she’s able to see that both Henry and his bear are nice, but she knows better than to think that a good man would want anything to do with her. She’s damaged goods.

Now he’s lit a fire in her and she wants him but she doesn’t believe she deserves him. Fortunately, Henry has never been one to back away from a challenge, not when his one true mate is on the line.
