Kara Evans has always been different. Freak, mutant, abomination, she's been called it all. Half polar bear, half mouse, her animal form is a constant source of embarrassment. With her confidence at an all-time low, she's hoping that Bearbank will be a fresh start. Darren Young is a leopard shifter. Cool, confident, and charming, he's never had a problem getting close to women, but those days are behind him. Tired of playing the field, Darren wants to settle down with a mate and have a few cubs. Finding the right woman would be easier if he wasn't surrounded by so many of the wrong ones. Can Kara allow herself to be caught up with a man who could destroy the last remaining shreds of her self-esteem? A man who comes with a horde of beautiful exes?
