Wild Side Series by Nikki Winter

Previously published work. Reformatted and re-edited! As a man with the ability to shift into fifteen hundred pounds of honey-loving, occasionally cranky grizzly, Ransom McKenna was used to people moving when he said move—or when he chuffed because the chuffing usually did the trick—at least until he comes across one of the most fierce, adorably ornery canines that he’s ever met, Fallon Wilder... morePreviously published work. Reformatted and re-edited! As a man with the ability to shift into fifteen hundred pounds of honey-loving, occasionally cranky grizzly, Ransom McKenna was used to people moving when he said move—or when he chuffed because the chuffing usually did the trick—at least until he comes across one of the most fierce, adorably ornery canines that he’s ever met, Fallon Wilder. Ransom finds himself fascinated by the way she can thoroughly lay waste to a man’s ego with no more than a succinctly stated email and a concise threat to one’s person. At first glance he thought all he wanted was to buy her extremely impressive lodge after it catches his hard to earn attention in a popular magazine for their kind but the moment he meets Miss Wilder face to face he knows what he really wants—her. And no matter how many times she barks and snarls and snaps, he knows he’ll have her. Because in his mind, it’s all about what a bear wants… less

Maddox McKenna wasn't used to begging. Or coaxing. Or cajoling. Or tempting. As a matter of fact, he wasn't used to anything that had to do with struggling to get someone to say "Yes!" because he was a grizzly. Grizzlies did not ask, nor compromise, beg or cajole. They simply breathed and everything stepped into line. That was the grand design of nature; it worked in his favor... moreMaddox McKenna wasn't used to begging. Or coaxing. Or cajoling. Or tempting. As a matter of fact, he wasn't used to anything that had to do with struggling to get someone to say "Yes!" because he was a grizzly. Grizzlies did not ask, nor compromise, beg or cajole. They simply breathed and everything stepped into line. That was the grand design of nature; it worked in his favor. As the mightiest of mighty beasts, he never once thought he'd be in a position that would leave him at a loss of what to do. At least not until the day he met Cree Chayton. Sporadically violent with sharp claws and an even sharper tongue, the mysterious beauty not only fascinated his natural curiosity about things smaller than him but she stimulated...other parts. There was just one issue--HER. She wouldn't give in to his desire to see her naked and starry eyed! She avoided him, injured him and refused to greet him shirtless with a smile. Not only was it an outrage to his delicate honey adoring sensibilities but it was a bit of a blow to his ego. However, when Cree's normally stand-offish behavior veers into territories that make Maddox frightened FOR her rather than OF her, he has to wonder if her reason for refusing the advances of his straying groin have to do with a genuine disinterest or something deeper. The option to leave her be is there but he simply can't because he believes wholeheartedly that she's just what a bear needs... less
