The Bear’s Chosen Mate by Vivian Arend
The stand alone first title in a brand-new shifter trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend.
He’s going to accept his fate—but only with the woman he chooses!
Youngest brother James Borealis figures if he has to get mated, it should be with someone he already knows and cares about—his best friend Kaylee. But when the mating fever hits, she’s still stuck in friendshipland while he’s ready to move all the way to true love and forever.
Kaylee has heard about polar bear mating fever, but while James has held the starring role in her fantasies for a long time, she’s not about to leap into a permanent relationship that’s all wrong for him. He’s the PR powerhouse for Borealis Gems while she’s a quiet bobcat shifter with massive family baggage. He loves the spotlight; she wants to hide in quiet corners.
But mating fever knows best, and when the storm settles, there’s no use in arguing with a polar bear’s choice.

Grandpa runs Borealis Gems, the family company set in the Northwest Territories (northern Canada). He wants to see his three grandsons – James, Alex and Cooper – married within the next nine months, before his New Year’s Eve birthday, or he’ll sell off his shares of the company (ergo, no inheritance). He doesn’t buy their excuses about being too busy, or not wanting to go through the effort of finding a mate so he’s forcing their hands… errr… paws. All polar bears go through a week of mating fever, wherein if they are in the vicinity of a like-minded female, it generally leads to settling down. James, the only woman he can imagine even wanting to spend mating fever week with is his best friend Kaylee Banks, a bobcat shifter and photographer. Little does he know that Kaylee has had a crush on him for years, but never acted on it for fear of losing their friendship. And James may have had some inappropriate thoughts about Kaylee in return. When Grandpa gets his little matchmaking hat on and sends Kaylee to James’ apartment just as the fever hits him, it’s too hard for Kaylee to resist his befuddled amorous advances. With an understanding between them that they’ll indulge in their mutual attraction while James is struck with his lustful mating fever they make the most of their week together. But will it be so easy to go back to being just friends?
