Surprise by Jada Cox

A shifter’s secret. A surprise meeting. And a second chance at love…
I thought life after military service would be a breeze. I was putting down roots. New house, new business, new woman—and not just any woman—one crazy-hot weekend together and I really thought she could be the One.
But then everything changed.
No spec-ops training could have prepared me for what happened when our guys’ camping trip went sideways. Ever since, every now and then, I shift into a bear. A fierce, dangerous, out-of-control bear.
Bears don’t have second dates, even with the woman of their dreams. So for Amber’s sake, I didn’t show up. And I never called.

A year later, I walk into a swanky office to pitch a huge new contract, and there she is–standing at the head of the conference table.
I’m dumbstruck with an overwhelming, bone-deep, undeniable truth, and I suddenly realize how stupid I’ve been. Amber is definitely the One. She always has been. I have to tell her what happened, how sorry I am, how she’s all that matters—
But now she won’t even look at me. Can I ever convince her to give me a second chance?
