I expected dating after divorce to be weird. But nothing like this.

I was a workaholic executive—until I almost died. It took a near-death experience to get my priorities straight,And I knew big changes had to be made.

Priority #1 was spending more time with my kids and mother,So I quit my job and bought a beach house on Cape Cod. With the sun on my face and my toes in the sand,I met one of the beach rangers,Who turned out to be the hot single dad next door.

Dylan helped me move some furniture,And I offered him dinner to thank him for his trouble—Not knowing it would end with dessert. My goal in moving out here was to spend time with family,Not to have a wild summer fling at forty-two.

But thoughts of Dylan won’t leave my mind. My kids swear strange things are happening on this beach,And I chalk it up to their vivid imaginations—Until it becomes a reality before my very eyes.

No one on this stretch of beach is human. They’re all bear-people.

And the man I’ve come to love?He’s their leader. I thought my midlife crisis was over,But baby, it’s just getting started.

Steamy shifter love scenes and a HEA inside! No cheating or cliffhanger in this standalone romance. Readers 18+.
