Polar Bears’ Christmas by Ariana Hawkes

Curvy bear shifter Everly Holbrook is dreading the festive season. The only unmated daughter of her family, and the only white bear in the entire clan, she’s frequently the target of mockery, which only gets worse when the whole bunch gathers together. She’s getting to the end of her tether with her parents’ controlling ways, when a handsome stranger comes along, and treats her like she’s something special. His body seems to be screaming for her, but then he tells her they can’t be together. Oh well, she doesn’t have time for more confusion in her life!

Polar bear shifter Heath Stoneking hasn’t felt the spirit of Christmas since he lost his mate, and only puts on a show of it for his two young kids. When he meets the funny, sarcastic and quirky Everly, he’s determined to help her achieve the happiness she deserves. His bear seems crazy about her, but he can’t trust himself to open his heart to love again.

The closer they get the more irresistible their attraction becomes. But can Heath escape the shadows of his past before he’s ruined his chance to be with Everly?
