Novalee Swan Libri

Connor Reid is complex. An alpha, taller and stronger than anyone else, who has never lost a fight. But the truth is, this grizzly bear shifter is as sweet as a summer breeze and shy as a prairie dog. He never planned to stay in Shifter Town. Then something happened that rocked his world. Lily Amaretto hasn't known much kindness in her life, and never from a man. When she accepts a job working for the scariest male she's ever seen, it's about survival and redemption. She doesn't want to spend her life afraid of shadows, but did she really have to start with the most lethal man in existence? What do two shy souls do when they want each other badly, but aren't quite sure how make it happen? Shifter Town is about to find out...

When grizzly shifter Bear Reid arrives in Rosewood, Tennessee, he doesn't expect to find a luscious redhead waiting tables and fending off barflies with sugar-coated threats. She's a ray of sunshine in purgatory and he wants her. Bad. So he buys the bar. Kelly McKenna has a head for numbers, but she takes one look at her new boss, all malt hair and whiskey eyes, and finally understands what it means to crave. Eventually, sweet flirtation leads to a not-so-sweet game of pool, and a bet. Winner takes all. But there's something Kelly doesn't know about Bear. A secret that could destroy her trust and her heart forever.
