Paws for Thought

He believes love is a distraction. She believes feelings aren’t facts. The fates think they’re both wrong.

Dr. Tessa Holt has no patience for nonsense. A biochemist devoted to her research, she has built her life on data, not destiny. But when the notorious Gerri Wilder recruits her for a “matchmaking experiment,” Tessa finds herself traveling through a wormhole to a distant planet — and face-to-face with the grumpiest, sexiest royal she’s ever seen.

Prince Korran Deyvar, heir to the Northern Bear Dominion of Nova Aurora, lives by duty. With his father failing, the council demands he take a mate and secure the royal line. But the bear prince has no interest in romance, only in keeping his kingdom stable. Until his fated mate arrives: a stubborn, razor-sharp human scientist who challenges his every word.

She’s logical. He’s instinct. Together, they’ll have to battle political rivals, bear clan traditions, and their own stubborn hearts — before fate proves that some bonds can’t be broken by reason.
