Hired Bear (Bears of Pinerock County Book 5)

Crystal is drowning in debt and struggling to maintain her family farm, a place that holds more memories than she knows how to handle. When an impossibly rugged stranger arrives on her doorstep offering to help with the repairs, she expects a simple laborer. Instead, she finds herself face-to-face with a man who radiates raw, undeniable power. From the moment their eyes meet, a volatile, electric connection ignites, making it clear that this is no ordinary handyman.

As a gripping entry in the paranormal romance genre, this story masterfully weaves psychic tension with the intense heat of a fated encounter. The forced-proximity trope forces these two together in the isolation of the rural countryside, where every shared task and late-night conversation peels back layers of hidden desire. Crystal soon realizes that her new contractor is a bear shifter, a man whose protective instincts are as strong as his physical presence.

If you are hunting for a soul-stirring read filled with simmering chemistry and supernatural stakes, look no further. This tale of destiny and reclamation proves that while some hearts are broken, others are meant to be mended by the most unexpected, wild forces of nature.
