Protected by the Bear Shifter

<p><strong>Deacon</strong></p><p>From the outside people see me as a businessman who lives with his two brothers and likes to keep to himself.</p><p>However the inside is something else. I share my soul with a beast of a bear and all he knows and wants is to torture and kill.</p><p>Until we scent him.</p><p>Our Fated mate.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Rio</strong></p><p>My life has never been my own. My ruthless father and mess of a mother control it. All I want is to spend my days without looking over my shoulder and without the fear of getting so close to someone that my crime-boss father will use them against me.</p><p>At twenty-two I'm tired unloved and live a dull empty existence.</p><p>Until he walks into my world-all intense eyes and broody growls that don't sound human.</p><p>Now there's no going back. Not when my soul recognizes his. All that's left to decide is how far am I willing to go to escape my toxic family so I can start anew with the man who makes me feel more in a matter of moments than I have in my whole life.</p>
