The Bear’s Blooming Mate (Bear Creek Forever:Thornberg Vineyard #2)

Meeting was a mistake. Falling in love wasn’t.

After the death of her mother, Elsbeth moves to Bear Creek to fulfill a promise—and to finally build the cut-flower business she always dreamed of. Romance? That’s not even on the to-do list.

But if this bear shifter has learned anything from years of tending vines, it’s patience. Elsbeth is grieving her mother and fighting for her dream. So Philip stays close. He protects her. And together, they begin to build something beautiful—one bloom, one seed at a time.

Until a sudden storm threatens everything they’ve created.

Can they save the farm—and their chance at love—before it’s too late?
