Tricked by the Bear

<p>One second I was elbow-deep in lab work.<br>The next? Drugged kidnapped and dragged into a mess that smells a hell of a lot like betrayal-and bear.</p><p>Enter Carter Armstrong. Alpha elite. Grumpy protector. Built like a walking fantasy.<br>He says he's here to keep me safe.<br>But the way he looks at me? That's not <em>just</em> protection. That's claiming.<br>That's mate with a capital <em>M</em>.</p><p>I'm not exactly the damsel type and I sure as hell didn't ask for a protective bear to come barrelling into my life. But now we're tangled in a conspiracy that could get us both killed and Carter is the only one I trust-mostly. When he's not driving me crazy with that bossy growl and those... very talented hands.</p><p>Good thing I've got backup: three overprotective brothers a found family of badass shifters and a wolf inside me who's finally howling for something real.</p><p>The problem?<br>The one man who might be my forever is keeping secrets.<br>And I'm not sure which will come first-me saving the world... or jumping his bones.</p><p> </p><p><em>Kidnapped claimed and falling hard for a possessive alpha bear-this wolf is about to rewrite the rules</em></p>
