Rugged Fire — Edith DuBois

Lianne Seward has lived in Savage Valley since birth but never admitted to her crush on the Carson twins, Sebastian and William. When their bank approves her small-business loan, she finds herself working very closely with the sexy but aloof bear-shifters. It just might be the opportunity she needs to discover something deeper and stronger with the Carsons, and she means to take full advantage of it. As she struggles to get her company off the ground, however, family secrets and long-held grudges begin to surface. Soon a web of events, begun long before she was born, starts to unravel. As Lianne works her way through the mysteries, she must figure out whom she can trust. She must figure out who her family really is. Because when Ulysses C. Norman hears about her upstart company, he offers to make all of her business dreams come true. But does his generous offer come from the heart? Or does he have plans of his own? Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings.
