Nathan: Billionaire Bear
Candace Ayers - 2016
She’s smart, funny and talented, but Mr. Right just hasn’t made an appearance. Not for her, anyway. That doesn’t stop Chloe from playing mix and match with friends. When Chloe sets up a weekend camping trip, her intention is to match up a coworker. But, while deep in the darkened forest, she comes face to face with a sexy-as-sin forest ranger who is the stuff of her own wildest fantasies. Nathan Varga is a bear shifter and a highly successful CEO of a multi-billion-dollar Fortune 500 company. His raw masculinity tempered by power, strength and control is enough to command the fear and respect of any Ivy League business competitor. Nathan always expected that he would one day meet his mate. He never expected that she’d be human. That complicates things.
