Bare Instincts

A BBW Paranormal Bear Shifter Romance

By: Vella Day

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Some desires can be buried for years… but fate has a way of digging them back up.

Burke Devereaux never thought he’d set foot in Hidden Hills, NC, again—until the death of his brother shatters the life he’s built far away. Wracked with guilt, the rugged bear shifter returns for the funeral, planning to keep his distance from the past… and the people in it.

Tasha Wilder remembers Burke all too well. Back in high school, the golden boy of the basketball team barely noticed the quiet, plus-size librarian she’d become. She never dared to reveal the crush—or the craving—that had simmered beneath the surface for years.

But when fate throws them together, sympathy turns into something hotter, wilder, and far more dangerous. One unexpected touch unleashes Tasha’s inner beast, igniting a passion that’s impossible to cage. Burke soon realizes Tasha is more than temptation—she’s his fated mate.

Now he just has to convince the stubborn, strong-willed shifter who’s been burned before that she’s his one and only… before the chance at forever slips away.
