Bearly Seduced — Mallery Malone

Darius Orso thinks his mother has lost her mind. Settle down? Find a mate? He saw how his mother suffered after losing their father and there's no way he'd put a woman through that. Besides, he's enjoying running the resort housing the scheming contestants vying for his and his brothers' affections and wallets. He's also keeping a close eye on showrunner Samantha Higgins who seems far more interested in his family's history than the show she's filming. The one thing guaranteed to turn him into a killer Kodiak is a threat against his family, though he's reluctant to harm one hair on the beguiling beauty's head.

Producing a dating reality show for a bunch of billionaire bachelors, no matter how sinfully gorgeous, is a far cry from Sam's days of investigative journalism. Still, she senses there is more to the Orso family than meets the eye and uncovering their secrets could be the break she needs. She's willing to do whatever it takes to get the story, especially Darius. Darius knows exactly what she's doing, but when the benefits are so decadent, why resist? Sleeping with the enemy is no hardship, but passion takes their sensual game in an entirely different direction. When Sam gets the scoop of a lifetime it puts her and everyone around her in danger as an old enemy returns. To save her, Darius will have to reveal his family's secret -- and trust that Sam wants him more than her story.
