Billion Dollar Bear


Catherine Vale - 2016
    If they had their way, he'd be mated to the obnoxious Ravena Hastings just because she's of royal descent, even though the she-bear does nothing to light his fire. He needs to escape the ordinary, and find out what really turns him on, and what will truly make him happy. Even if it's just for a weekend. Becca Donaldson is a good-girl who has followed the rules her entire life. Never trust strangers, if you have nothing nice to say - don't say anything at all, and of course, never mix business with pleasure. Unfortunately for her, she's about to come face to face with a man who is intent on upsetting her simple, organized life, and forcing her to break every one of those rules. And this handsome alpha knows exactly how to make an otherwise good-girl behave very, very badly. She doesn't stand a chance. Note To Readers: This is a scorching hot erotic romance story with intense sex scenes that will make you squirm in your seat. If I've done my job you'll be left reeling from this story, as you let Jericho Knight claim you as his own...as only an alpha bear can. Do not read this story if you are even remotely offended by graphic sexual content. This story has plot, has energy, and has substance - but it also has a LOT of hot sex. You've been warned. ;) BONUS STORY INCLUDED!
