Sometimes you need a grand gesture to prove
your love, and sometimes a bear hug will do.
Harris Bender had a crush on vampire leader
Rohan, so when the alpha male requests him to
paint a mural, he can only say yes. However, after
a passionate encounter, Harris discovered Rohan
is his mate. Is the carefree artist ready to settle
down with one man even if he’s extremely hot?
Rohan had been looking for his blood bonded
for centuries. One taste of the bear shifter’s blood
and he knows he’s found the one. However,
outside forces threaten to tear the couple apart. It
will take more than a flash of fang to put them in
their place.

Dedication
For my fans who tell me they want shifters other than
wolves. This series is for you.
Prologue
ohan walked with his friend through the
R small art gallery. Large numbers of people
had turned out for the First Thursday Art Walk to
see local artists displaying their wares. Paintings,
sculptures and art covered the walls and perched
on pedestals throughout the building. Some of the
art Rohan didn’t understand, no matter how many
years were under his belt. A few artists stretched
the definition of art so far, it no longer resembled
anything Rohan wanted to put in his house.
Rohan preferred the purity of the classics. He
didn’t get abstract art; he preferred good lines, a
delicate touch and a defined subject matter. The
rest, he considered junk. Some might think him a
snob, but at five hundred years old, Rohan had
long stopped caring what others thought.
“Look at that one,” Vick said. Rohan had
already known he didn’t share his friend’s artistic
taste, but tonight, it was confirmed . The vampire
liked anything with bright colors and oohed and
ahhed his way through six galleries. Some of the

pieces Vick excitedly pointed out were beyond
horrible.
However, in this one case, Vick was right at
least about the artist.
Rohan froze mid-step. It took concentrated
effort to continue his walk. The painting, a
brilliant display of bold colors and fine lines, took
up most of the wall. The striking art piece called to
Rohan almost as much as the man standing beside
it. Big shoulders, strong hands and an animalistic
power rolled off the dark-haired artist, who
waved his hands expressively as he talked to his
golden-haired companion. If it wouldn’t have
caused a scene, Rohan would’ve grabbed the
gorgeous shifter and dragged him home.
However, with this being an art show, the artist
might complain. The sign above the painting read
Harris Bender .
Rohan’s gums tingled with anticipation. He
fought back the urge to march across the room
and plunge his fangs into the delicious shifter’s
jugular.
