Bear River Bride (Mail Order Bride Romance) by Callie Hartwood.epub

Lucas is the sheriff and protector of his remote shifter community, but his title is at stake.
Darren, his young deputy, has challenged his position. To secure his title, Lucas has to find a mate—fast. With few eligible shifter women in the community, Lucas joins an online service that arranges marriages. This is his best—and fastest—chance to find a mate and keep his position as protector of the community.

Julia is smart, confident, and beautifully curvy. She has spent her life focused on her career and now that she’s achieved her professional dreams, she wonders if something might be missing. She joins the online matching site to find her perfect husband and when she is matched with Lucas, she is immediately connected with him, but it is obvious he is keeping something from her.

When Lucas saw Julia, his bear claimed her for his own. He knew instantly he had found his mate, but she was human.
How would his community handle him choosing a human for his mate? No other human had mated into the community, and choosing Julia would jeopardize his place as protector even more—but he can’t deny his bear, nor his desire.
