Protected By The Bear — Heather Hildenbrand

Hunt Blackburn has only one rule for his bears with haunted pasts: No Mates Allowed. When a bar fight leaves Hunt's crew on the hook for damages and possible assault, Hunt knows he has to step up and fix what's broken. Unfortunately, it's not going to be as simple as a few screws and nails. Not after Hunt meets the bar owner, Patrice Monroe, a cute, curvy brunette with a past of her own.

Will Hunt break his own rule for Patrice or will he love her and leave her in order to keep her -- and all her secrets -- safe?
