Hands full taking care of his clan, the last thing this Kodiak bear needs is a woman poking her cute little nose into his affairs. But when she refuses to back down--and shows the courage to stand up to him--he can't resist the allure of a curvy city girl. And when a rival clan thinks to use her to force his paw, he'll show them why you never piss off a Kodiak, or threaten what's his. Tammy is convinced all men are scum, even gorgeous ones like Reid Carver. She knows he's hiding something. Something big. She just never expected a real freaking bear hid underneath all those yummy muscles. But when the truth comes out and he tries to scare her off with a roar, she shows him not just bears have bite.
