Bear With Me

Hi, I'm Celestine Woods. Most people call me Chellie.If you are one of my 850K followers, you might know me as the super successful influencer, but more than likely you probably know me as the woman who had an alcohol-fueled meltdown at the biggest New Year's Eve party in the world after getting dumped by her former rock star boyfriend, who then publicly professed his love for his new girlfriend in a song, before getting engaged a week later.So, I went to Black Bear Mountain, a cabin resort in the Catskill Mountains, to relax, recharge, rehab my image and toss in a couple sponsored posts. The only hitch in my plan for R&R is the sexy, but grumpy, lumberjack who runs the place. His people skills leave a lot to be desired and it's no wonder I'm the only guest. His resort and my image could both use a little TLC, so we formed a truce and teamed up to help each other.My social media know-how, my smartphone, a gorgeous grumpy mountain man and a strangely friendly bear that keeps coming to my window every night is the perfect recipe for project #ChellieInTheWoods?*includes the paperback exclusive bonus epilogue, Grin & Bear it *For Content Warnings for all my books, please visit:lucyeden.com/cw

From National Book Award in Fiction finalist Andrew Krivak comes a gorgeous fable of Earth’s last two human inhabitants, and a girl’s journey home In an Edenic future, a girl and her father live close to the land in the shadow of a lone mountain. They possess a few remnants of civilization: some books, a pane of glass, a set of flint and steel, a comb. The father teaches the girl how to fish and hunt, the secrets of the seasons and the stars. He is preparing her for an adulthood in harmony with nature, for they are the last of humankind. But when the girl finds herself alone in an unknown landscape, it is a bear that will lead her back home through a vast wilderness that offers the greatest lessons of all, if she can only learn to listen. A cautionary tale of human fragility, of love and loss, The Bear is a stunning tribute to the beauty of nature’s dominion. Andrew Krivak is the author of two previous novels: The Signal Flame, a Chautauqua Prize finalist, and The Sojourn, a National Book Award finalist and winner of both the Chautauqua Prize and Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He lives with his wife and three children in Somerville, Massachusetts, and Jaffrey, New Hampshire, in the shadow of Mount Monadnock, which inspired much of the landscape in The Bear.

BRITTIN When my brother and his problems had me coming back to Stales, my hometown, I was scared not just for my twin's health, but also because I knew I'd run into Law, my bear-shifting ex and the sheriff of Stales. Our breakup hadn't been grisly, but after nearly two years, the thought of seeing him again had everything tightening in me because ... I still loved him. But that was the past, and I knew I had to move on, right? LAW Brittin was the only woman I would ever love. She was it for me, even if she broke it off because of my domineering ways. I screwed up when I lost her, and I spent the next two years regretting it. But she'd wanted space, and when she left for the city, I let her. But now she's back, and it's my chance to show her I can give her everything she wants. It's my chance to show her I can be the man she deserves. I just hope I haven't let too much time pass, because not having Brittin in my life is a fate worse than death. Warning: This short story features a growly bear shifter, and a stubborn heroine. It's hot, to the point, and you'll end up wishing you had your own shape-shifting alpha to keep you warm at night. Bear With Me was previously published under the title "Yes, Sir" and was included in the Cuffed and Claimed anthology. It has since been slightly revised and re-edited, but the story itself is the same.
