When my grandmother’s magical pendant goes missing, she demands I convince bear shifter Bellamy Laredo to help me find it.

He’s perfect for the job and adores my grandmother. So why does he toss me out of the Sawtooth Security office on my ample behind?

I rejected his mate claim in front of our entire clan. That trad mate life wasn’t for me. Seeing him still makes the blood sing in my veins, and I can’t imagine what I was thinking all those years ago. Seriously, who knew a little gray in his beard could look so good?

I can’t blame the bear...

When my grandmother’s magical pendant goes missing, she demands I convince bear shifter Bellamy Laredo to help me find it.

He’s perfect for the job and adores my grandmother. So why does he toss me out of the Sawtooth Security office on my ample behind?

I rejected his mate claim in front of our entire clan. That trad mate life wasn’t for me. Seeing him still makes the blood sing in my veins, and I can’t imagine what I was thinking all those years ago. Seriously, who knew a little gray in his beard could look so good?

I can’t blame the bear for holding a grudge. It’s fine. I’m totally capable of finding the locket without him. Even if the details around its disappearance are sketchy. I might not have my grandmother’s magic, but I’m no stranger to hustling to make things happen.

Then a mysterious bear clan abducts me, and Bellamy and his team come to my rescue. I wish I could say it was case closed, and let my rejected mate go back to hating my guts. But those unfamiliar bears give me even more questions about the locket, everything I believed about my clan, Bellamy, and even my lack of magic.

Now Bellamy and I are heading on a road trip to find the answers we deserve. If we’re successful, nothing will keep us apart, even if the truth destroys our clan.
