The Bear's Christmas Mate (A Bear Creek Christmas, #3)

She wanted a quiet getaway…
Instead, she found snowstorms, second chances…
And a bear shifter fated just for her.

When Doreen arranges a trip to Bear Creek to visit her friend Sorcha, all she wants is peace and quiet, a chance to recharge her batteries, and enjoy a cozy retreat.

Then life drops two surprises on her her nephew Jake and his golden retriever Bash, who turn her relaxing getaway into a whirlwind of dog training, non-stop talking (and tail wagging), and snowy chaos.

Enter Deputy James Pike—handsome, warm, protective… and completely not what Doreen came here for.

So why does her heart feel like it’s waking up for the first time in years?

James can’t believe it when a runaway golden retriever leads him to his mate. She is everything he wished for and more.
But Doreen is only here on vacation. Somehow, he has to persuade her to stay. Forever.

Oh, and he also has to tell her he’s a bear shifter. And they are mates… How hard can it be?
