Shiftr: Swipe Left for Love by Ariana Hawkes

Sexy bear shifter Bruno Davis is tortured by a tragic past. Between firefighting and being a single parent to his nine-year-old son, there’s no space in his life for anything else.

Lori is fleeing to Hope Valley to begin a new life after being dumped by her cheating husband. After all the pain she’s been through, she doesn’t even want to hear about men.

When a terrible accident puts their lives on a collision course, Bruno’s bear tells him that the beautiful, curvy woman he snatches from an explosion is his mate. But the darkness in his soul convinces him that they can’t be together.

Through friendship, they develop a powerful attraction. While Lori is willing to take a chance on the brave firefighter who treats her like no one else has before, emotionally damaged Bruno rejects her, hurting her badly.

But when Lori’s life is thrown into horrific danger, he doesn’t hesitate to save her. Will he make it in time, and will this convince him that he was wrong about the lonely destiny that he imagined for himself?
