Playboy billionaire and bear shifter Carson Medved is a frequent visitor to the Fated Hearts Club, but he's not looking for a mate. He's got a reputation for loving and losing a regular stream of female companions.

Then Carson hires her to help manage his public image, and the attraction between them grows ever stronger. Carson can no longer deny what he knows is true: Alison is his mate. She's still fighting her feelings, because his past won't stop intruding. The final straw comes when someone leaves a baby boy on his doorstep, with a note saying the child is his son. Can Carson overcome Alison's doubts and prove to her that he's worthy of her trust?
