About this ebook
For Stacia Sagona, it wasn't easy being the personal assistant to the local bear clan alpha. He was grumpy, hard to work with and he just happened to be her older brother. Tardiness was a pet peeve of his but it was her specialty. What was meant to be a quick run to the bank before going into the office was anything but, thanks to the armed men who stormed into the bank with guns blazing.
A hostage situation at the local bank was just what SWAT Officer Izek Compano needed to keep his mind focused. Lately, he has felt such a disconnect from his bear that it has left him puzzled. A man should always be in sync with his bear. Each night his bear would demand to be let out so it could roam for hours in search of something. For what? Izek didn't have a clue. The bank job revealed the culmination of his search, only to have her snatched from his grasp.
It's a race against time to save the mate who his bear had apparently been searching for…

She refused to believe that the hands on her diamond-encrusted watch were telling her the correct time. Stacia Sagona sighed as she glared at the elderly woman standing at the teller’s window. It should not take so long for one person to do business at the bank. She glanced back at her watch and noticed that the lady with the perfectly curled snow white hair had been there for close to fifteen minutes. Mid-afternoon on a Wednesday, and Bells National Bank only had one teller working. It was insane!
I need another cashier’s check to send to my grandson,
the elderly woman droned on. He’s turning thirteen.
Stacia rolled her eyes as the teller laughed. She was in a wicked rush, and Grandma here was holding her up. Her brother Landon would kill her if she was late again. She glanced behind her and noted that the line had grown.
Tapping her foot, she pulled her phone from her purse, swiped the glass screen, and began typing out a text to Landon. He would complain, of course, but it wasn’t like he could fire her. Not only was she his younger sister, she was also his secretary, office manager, and assistant. He would be one unorganized alpha if it weren’t for her, she thought with a chuckle.
Their family had been in charge of the local bear shifter community for centuries. Landon was the current alpha of the Osawana Grizzlies after their father had stepped down to retire. According to her father, Lakis Sagona, one of the most powerful and wisest grizzlies she knew, it was time to let the younger generation rule.
So, he and her mother, Saba Sagona, after forty years of ruling the most powerful bear shifter clan, built a cabin deep in the woods just on the outskirts of town and officially retired. Stacia was proud of her parents. They deserved to live the rest of their lives to the fullest. They had given their all to protect the Osawana Clan, and it was time for them to be a little selfish and do the things that they wanted to do.
Her brother was bred to become the next alpha. He loved the Osawana Clan just as much as he loved fresh salmon. But her brother was a bear, and that meant he had a temper. He would protect the clan with his life, which was good, but that left him no time to find a mate. As the clan leader, he would need a good, strong female at his side to help rule one of the longest standing clans. Valentine’s Day was coming up, and Stacia had a plan. She was going to find her brother a mate.
Valentine’s Day was one of her favorite days of year. One day set aside in the year that a man and woman could be lovey-dovey and show the world how much they loved each other. It was the most romantic day
