Bear Down — Jaide Fox

On a mission for the wolves, bear shifter Donal Arturus finds himself prisoner of a dark, beautiful woman who has no notion of his good looks and general prowess in bed and battle. To her, he is simply an interloper that she wants to be rid of. Something about her abuses toward him render him speechless and intrigued.

Sapphire Edenwatch cannot believe the chief of her village not only refuses to believe that the big stranger isn't human, but she must make amends for the wrongs she's done to Donal. Worse than taking the loudmouth braggart into her home -- he has a strange effect on her inhibitions, and every touch and taste only seems to draw her closer under his spell and further into danger.

Rating: Long novella -- 27,000+ words. Fantasy and paranormal romance. BWWM. Bear shifter. Some mild violence and sensually graphic love scenes in keeping with romance.
