Synopsis
Clara Fitch is terrified of the violent side of her nature and has worked hard to suppress her primal instincts. The iron control she’s kept on her inner bear is starting to fray, and she now fears for the lives of every living creature who comes in contact with her.
After spending years looking, Luc, Georges, and Nouel Benoit had given up on their dream of ever finding a woman they can share. When a beautiful enigma of a woman arrives on their doorstep, they can’t believe their good fortune, but there is more to her than delicious curves and a sharp tongue.
The Benoit brothers know that Clara is their Mate, but she has suppressed her inner animal to the point of inhibiting her natural abilities. Has she driven her inner bear mad? Can they convince her that her animal side is nothing to fear and learn to trust herself while embracing the idea of being their Mate?
Exclusive Excerpt
“Damn. Please tell me we didn’t beat Brodie’s ass too much at your poker game last time he was up.”Marcario shook his head. “No, I don’t think so. He and Gaspar are usually the ones that play aggressively against each other.”
Georges rubbed the back of his neck. “Good. At least we don’t have to worry about him carrying a grudge that will fuck this up.”
“Fuck what up?” Marcario adjusted the strap from the camera case on his shoulder.
“She’s our Mate, right, Georges?” Luc said, never taking his eyes from their Mate.
Georges knew his brother was double checking what they already suspected. He nodded and lowered his voice enough that hopefully she wouldn’t hear him. “Yup, damn right. She’s all ours.”
Marcario looked back and forth between them. “You’re kidding me. That’s great, congratulations.” He looked over at Clara’s vehicle and then his own. “If you don’t need any more pictures I’m going to head out. You shifters don’t notice the cold that much, but I’m freezing my ass off.”
“Damn, man, sorry about that.”
“No big deal. Jessica will curl up against me and warm me up when I get home. The joys of being married to a shifter myself.” He gave them both a grin and a wave before jogging over to his Land Rover.
Luc rested his hands on George’s shoulder and gave him a little shake. “Can you believe this? She’s perfect.”
“I’m a little shell shocked at the moment. It’s going to take me a second to process this. I mean I never thought…” It was true he’d given up on the entire idea of ever finding a woman to share, let alone the possibility that she would be a Mate to all three of them. It was mind boggling.
Clara’s car door opened and they both rushed to her side of the car. Georges held the door open while Luc took her hand to help her out. She gave them both an odd look before lifting her cell phone. “Brodie verified that you aren’t serial killers but I’m not to play poker with either of you.”
“If the power goes out, we’ll play president then.” Luc smiled. “Do you have a bag with you?”
“Yes, in the backseat.”
He’d opened the backdoor and reached in for her overnight bag before she could say no. Inside the vehicle her scent was much stronger and he could pick up the subtle ursine notes to her scent but there was still a strange…blankness to it.
Georges’s cell phone rang, distracting him. He glanced down at the screen and nodded at his brother’s questioning look. He stood and handed Luc her bag. “Excuse me, I had better take this call.”
“Come on in, Clara. I’ll show you which room you can put your stuff in.” Luc placed his hand at her lower back and led her inside. Georges waited until the door closed before answering the call.
“Ecstasy Lake Auto Body, how can I help you?”
“What is my sister doing at your shop and why is she spending the night when there is a perfectly good hotel minutes away?” Brodie’s deep voice almost sounded like a growl as he spoke. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t drive up there myself and come and get her.”
“Aside from the brutal storm about to descend upon us?”
“Not good enough.”
“She’s our Mate.”
Silence punctuated the phone long enough that Georges pulled it away from his ear to see if the call had been dropped.
“All three of you?”
“She’s only met Luc and I so far but I have hopes that Nouel will feel the same way.”
“And are you prepared to share your Mate with your brothers? Moose aren’t known to share well.”
“Brodie, we decided long ago that we would share a Mate between us. The best we’d ever hoped is that we’d find a woman willing to take on the three of us. The idea that she might be meant to be a Mate to each of us is just as much of a mind-blower to me as well.”
Brodie didn’t say anything right away but Georges could hear the sound of soft voices on the other line. Figuring he was speaking to his wife, Georges had faith that Stephanie could make him see reason. She was a levelheaded woman.
“You make her cry and I’ll come up there and tear the three of you to pieces and feed you to the locals.”
“Dude, that’s nasty. Did your gentle wife hear that?”
He snorted. “My gentle wife is the one who suggested it.”
Georges paused in his pacing back and forth, wondering how he could gently ask Brodie what was wrong with his sister. “Can I ask you something…something about your sister?”
“No.”
“Are you kidding me?” Georges almost shouted into the phone. Arrogant ass.
“No. You want to know something about Clara, ask her. I’m not giving you insider information and making this easier for you. Great things are worth fighting for. Don’t fuck it up.”
“Thanks.” For nothing. “Stay home with your family, Brodie. We’ll bring her to you for a visit so you can meet Nouel.”
“I’m looking forward to it. Talk to you later.”
“Bye.”
Georges ended the call and scanned the edge of the woods for Nouel. Leave it to the idiot to wander off in the snow now, wearing Miss Lavender’s yarn-bomb creation. Hopefully the storm would keep any poachers out of the woods and stop them from shooting his brother.

About the Author
Corinne Davies first put pen to paper in an attempt to write a love story between her and her favourite rock singer of the time. It was filled with all the angst that only a teenager can come up with and, of course, an incredible wardrobe.
Years later, during the wee hours of the morning, when her first daughter insisted on waking up, she discovered online RPGs and her love of writing emerged again. After many encouraging words from fellow writers, she decided to try her hand at developing her own stories, learning it takes more than mind blowing sex and a happily ever after to make a great story.
By day, she is a full-time wife, mother, and product consultant. At night, she avoids such mundane tasks as housework and laundry by creating her own worlds where mythology comes to life. Worlds in which you are just as likely to be living next door to an ancient Deity as finding an mystic treasure in the attic.
