Kendall's Mates — Shelley Munro

Pack up those troubles in a designer bag and…ignore them.

Forced into a corner by her family, Kendall Essex has one option if she wants peace. She leaves her Devon home to visit her friend in Churchill, Manitoba. While she's aware her ostrich-head-in-the-sand plan isn't the best, she hopes for breathing space from familial pressure and distraction. The big, burly Hallsten brothers provide that and more…

Half-breed Saxby Hallsten has never fit in the polar bear shifter world. If he had his way, he'd never return to Churchill, but personal business forces him to venture north. His two younger half-brothers -- both full polar bear shifters -- are ecstatic at seeing their home and family again, but the memories of the past haunt Sax.

The only good thing about Churchill is meeting Kendall, but even she presents a dilemma because both Sax and his two brothers are attracted to her. She's curvy and smart and the perfect woman for them. Persuading her to date them takes finesse and creative strategy. Coaxing her to accept them as a package deal might take a miracle since she knows nothing of shifters.

But one night Kendall disappears, and the Hallsten brothers' secret collides with Kendall's past and her future. Ignoring trouble is no longer the solution if any of them want a happy-ever-after in this non-traditional relationship.

Contains a curvy blonde with an interfering mother, three brothers with their own family problems and sweet, sexy times for four. There's danger and adventure. Oh, and a cell phone that is much the worse for wear.
