About this ebook
From Book 1: Dakota was not used to this heat. A Midwest girl, stepping off the bus into this harsh Texas air was like getting slapped in the face. But the heat and the strange faces were still preferable to the past that had her on the run. But as they say, When in Rome...and while she normally would never step foot into a rodeo, this tall jerk with the golden eyes was about to make this a night she wouldn't forget. Maybe the heat isn't so bad...
Edward Tyrell has a drinking problem. Well, what he really has is a problem paying for his drinks. He can't help being so thirsty: he never asked to be a Bear Shifter. His debts always seem to catch up with him, and this time it meant being tossed out of the beer tent. Softening his fall was a curvy little thing full of spit and vinegar. The more he smiled, the more she raged. Some problems are more fun than others...
This 10,000+ word BBW Bear Shifter Romance Novella has all the heat and passion you expect from a Fated Mates story!

Chapter 1
The heat hit her first, embracing her like a lover in the dark. Being from the Midwest, Dakota Blair had little experience with the heat, but she wasn’t in the Midwest any longer. She was far from it, a stranger in the arid desert of West Texas, a stranger on the run.
Keeping her head low under the dim lights, Dakota stepped off the bus into a station that was abandoned in the late hour. Attacked by the heat, clumps of her chestnut hair stuck to the back of her neck as she waited for the driver to unload her duffle bag. She was surrounded by a mass of people, fellow travelers weary from the journey. The bus had been full. She was glad. It was easy to hide in a crowd, much more so than standing exposed on her own.
When she had her bag, Dakota followed the others into the lobby. It was narrow and unwelcoming, designed to keep people moving, deterring the homeless and the broken from sleeping on its benches. Dakota wasn’t broken, but she didn’t see herself going anywhere for the remainder of the night. She had money, and she had ID, but she didn’t want to use it. She didn’t want anyone knowing who she was or why she was here.
Unless I can find a cheap motel, she thought, moving to a board that listed accommodation in the area. I’m sure West Texas has its share of scandal. There’s got to be a place I can bribe my way into without showing them ID.
Setting her bag down, she skimmed the board. There were plenty of bad motels, but a notice caught her attention. Printed on bright yellow copy paper, a woman advertised a room for rent in her apartment.
No drinks. No dealers. No conmen.
It didn’t say anything about fugitives. Taking out her phone, a burner she had picked up in a remote town in Oklahoma, she dialed the number, but no one answered.
No desk is going to pick up this late at night,
an elderly woman in a Hoover Dam T-shirt said. Better to make your way to the hotel and see if they have a room.
Yes, of course,
Dakota said politely, returning her phone to her bag. Having traveled for so long, she’d forgotten what it was like to be ruled by a clock. On the bus, she’d been gripped with an anxiety that scattered her sleep. Her light brown eyes would shut and open within the same day, constantly searching to make sure she wasn’t followed. She felt safest at night, when the stops were few and the bus was quiet.
There were only a few hours until sunrise. She wouldn’t bother with a motel. Finding peace in her decision to run to West Texas, she made a bench her bed. It was uncomfortable, but she was free to stretch her long legs out, something she couldn’t do on the bus.
Dakota didn’t sleep. She stared at the stains on the ceiling, pretending they were stars, and she waited for the sun to bring in a new day, a new life.
This is it,
the woman said, inviting Dakota into her apartment. "It’s li’l enough to make a pig claustrophobic, but the
