I'm being paid to have a bear shifter's baby.

He happens to be my childhood best friend who I was in love with for half my life, and haven't seen in years.

If I wasn't so desperate for money, I wouldn't have turned to him.

But I am, so I sign the mating contract and agree to let the big, sexy jerk breed me.

If all goes according to plan, I'll be pregnant within a month, and able to pay off all of my dad's bills within a year.

But it doesn't go according to plan.

Because he keeps calling me his.

And refusing to leave.

And feeding me.

I can't let myself fall back in love with him… but I have no idea how to stop it.

*This is a short, steamy, romantic novella with a happily ever after!
