Description:The third installment of the Shrew & Company paranormal romance series.
Shrew and Company is already down one investigator when the boss Dana sends Tamara Ursu out in search of a rogue Were-bear. Dana didn’t expect her Shrew to go rogue, too.
If it weren’t for the plea of Bryan Ridge’s sister, the ladies of the investigation firm would have happily left the missing Bear lieutenant on the run. They’re trying to extricate themselves from the Bear-Catamount conflict—not escalate it further. But when Tamara finds Bryan, he lays out a convincing case for them to partner up…and he wants her stay quiet about it.
Bryan intends to oust his Alpha and take the job for himself. Once known as the peacekeepers of the Smoky Mountains, the Bears are now known more for dealing pot than mediating disputes. Bryan wants to bring them back to their respectable origins, which may mean forcing a deeper rift in the already-fractured group. Much to his chagrin, he can’t do it alone.
Although Tamara and Bryan get on like fire and ice, she actually thinks his idea is a good one. The sooner the Bear drama gets resolved, the sooner she can return to her routines back in Durham. To complicate matters, proximity to Bryan negatively impacts Tamara’s health, and the Bear part of him wants to take her for a mate. He has little choice but to call in the Shrews for assistance.
They’ll help him eliminate his Alpha, but first, Tamara has to deal with the illness that Bryan seems to be both the cause of and cure for.
