Engaging His Mate

Braden lives in a remote corner of Alaska, where finding a partner is hard enough, and his inner bear has shown no interest in any of the women nearby. He has made peace with a solitary life, filling his days with fishing, his favorite pastime, and helping run his family's tackle shop. That quiet routine ends when his cousin, a man determined to find his own mate, announces that their next holiday will be at a Wyoming dude ranch made for shapeshifters. Braden has never left his state and knows nothing about horses, yet his envious friends cheer the plan, and he learns the cousin has charged the trip, which cannot be refunded, to Braden's credit card. Casey is struggling to manage the vacation ranch her father left behind after his death. A rival rancher is set on wrecking her business, and her father's will adds a deadline: one of his daughters must prove she has a husband by a set date or she may lose her home. Out of options, Casey accepts help from a guest at her ranch, a striking stranger with intense dark eyes who loves fishing as much as she does and wants to become her husband.
