Description

She came to the end of the road to disappear. He'd been there for eight years, trying to disappear too. Arden Vale drives her dying hatchback to the most remote rental she could find — a sagging cabin past a troll bridge, behind a locked gate, at the end of a road that doesn't appear on most maps. She has forty-two dollars, a five-year-old son named Toby, and a threat she's been running from for six months. The last thing she needs is a neighbor. Garrick Crete has been the only person on Anvilwood Ridge for eight years — by choice, by necessity, and because of a promise he made to a dead woman's compass. He's a bear shifter who doesn't shift anymore, a solitary who has kept every wall intact, and he wants nothing from the woman who crossed his territory and locked the gate behind herself. But the bear noticed her the moment she arrived. And the bear doesn't forget. What builds between them isn't fast or easy. It's a painted rock left on a porch step. A woodpile. A pipe joint. The slow accumulation of small, ordinary kindnesses from a man who doesn't make promises he won't keep — and a woman learning, piece by piece, that ordinary can be safe. When the danger following Arden arrives, Garrick must choose between his own defenses and the territory that now holds her Bear With Me is a slow-burn bear shifter romance for readers who want the walls to come down one brick at a time. Dual POV. Found family. A little boy who knows everyone needs colors. A compass that's starting to point north. HEA guaranteed. Steamy. Interconnected standalone
