The Bear's Exquisite Mate (Pre-Order)

You met Karter in Kade's book: Riding with the Kodiak.

He's the third oldest son and Alpha of the Barrington clan in Fortune Falls. He's also the de facto Alpha of the mixed-species pack roaming the north-east territory of Montana-Canada. With two older brothers who left home to deploy with the military, he's left to care for an ailing father, an unmated sister whose never shifted, and three hell-raising triplets who have aged him beyond his years.

No wonder he's such a grumpy bear.

Add in the local wolf pack testing him for Alpha rights and a pretty little human female whose van was towed to their garage in Fortune Falls, and he doesn't have time to think much less find his mate.

But when he scents her in his room, on his sheets, all over this pillow—his bear goes wild. What's a shifter supposed do when the Fates have paired him with a human that the pack deems forbidden? Can he resist his mate for the sake of the pack?

Fortune Falls is a small town of telepathic shifters intent on keeping the encroaching population out of their territory to protect their secrets. But the Fates have other ideas, gifting them forbidden humans as their fated mates and disrupting the harmony of their close-knit community. Despite pack opinion and tradition, these shifters will do whatever it takes to claim, mark, and bond with their mates.
