Snatching Jackie by Tessa Stone

When fate snatches you up, resistance is futile—especially when your mate is a possessive bear shifter.

Jabari
After centuries of waiting, I’ve resigned myself to being the lone unmated bear shifter in Frost Clan. When my temper lands me a job on the Wintermoon Cruise ship, I never expect to catch the scent that changes everything—honey-sweet and intoxicating. One look at curvy, confident Jackie Murphy, and my bear knows: she’s ours. But claiming a human mate isn’t simple, especially when danger threatens. When Jackie gets hurt, my protective instincts take over, consequences be damned. I’ll risk everything—even sinking a ship—to keep what’s mine.

Jackie
I boarded the Wintermoon Cruise seeking escape from my failing boutique, not a seven-foot bear shifter declaring I’m his fated mate. Suddenly I’m whisked away to Wintermoon territory, where supernaturals roam free and bear shifters are possessive as hell. Jabari is infuriatingly sweet, proudly messy, and impossibly devoted—everything I never knew I needed. As I adjust to clan life and Jabari’s hovering presence, I find myself torn between the independence I’ve always cherished and the belonging I’ve always craved. But when Jabari risks everything to build me the business of my dreams, I discover that being snatched might be the best thing that ever happened to me.
