Growing up as the only lion in a family of bears, Bowie always felt a little bit different.

A lion with distinctive bear traits, Bowie has the kind of personality that helps him get along with everyone. It's an asset in his work as a police officer, but it hasn't helped him find his true love. His siblings have all found their mates, but so far no female has piqued his lion's interest. Just when he's resigned himself to a life of bachelorhood, he gets a job offer that will change his life…

After Becca's father was murdered by hunters, her family was plunged into poverty. It took a long time to dig out and become financially stable again, but the memory of being hungry and scared looms large in her memory all these years later. She's got one goal in life: to make as much money as possible so she never feels vulnerable again. And she's working three jobs to make that happen.

No male is going to distract her from her goals-especially a weirdly cheerful lion who claims that they're mates. So what if her bear agrees that they're mates? She's stronger than her animal side, she'll just have to resist.

Unfortunately, Valentine's Day is coming and Bowie has the whole town on his side. They're not going to rest until the couple gets their happily ever after…
