Bunny Bear — Ruby Shae

Gabriel Turner, bear shifter and owner of the Wild Bear bar, knows firsthand that fated mates don't exist. If they did, he would be happily mated with a cub on the way, not drawn to the curvy, shifter-hating waitress he employs.

Curvy girl, Michelle Larsen has been in love with her employer since the moment she stepped into his office looking for work a little over a year ago. Even though the bossy, workaholic made it clear he didn't have feelings for her, she'd secretly hoped time would change his mind.

After his cousin finds her mate, Gabe starts dating again hoping to find a woman who can make him forget about Michelle. When he does something crazy for a woman he just met, he's forced to reevaluate his decisions. Michelle is crushed when she catches Gabe in a lie, but she's devastated when she realizes he will never see her as anything more than his employee. In an effort to move on, she starts looking for another job, but Gabe won't make leaving easy. When the truth is revealed, they both must decide whether to listen to their heads, or their hearts.
