I was in between reads and wanted something a bit more on the fluffy side. It's a pretty basic shifter romance. 

In this case, Dax, a bear shifter, has a very short period of time to pick a mate before he loses the ability to mate and have cubs. To make things worse, he's under immense pressure from his father and threatening to cut him from the family business. Luckily for him, he finds his ACTUAL mate after being hired by her father to help fix up her business that was destroyed by raccoons. Great, right?

Allie has recently left a very toxic relationship with another bear shifter who claimed she was his mate but lied. She already feels more for Dax in one single day than she ever did for her ex, but she still hasn't recovered from the damage that relationship caused her and is in no rush to jump into one again, especially with another bear shifter. 

One is on a time crunch, the other has no desire whatsoever to hurry into anything. You'll have to read to see how things will work out!
