💓 Fated mates:   Caleb & Kayah

Caleb McAllister is a party boy. The wild one. His family expects nothing more from him than to be the same hard drinking, womanizing playboy he was in his early twenties. It’s getting old.  

Now, that reputation risks his dream, the career he busted his burly bear butt for. Caleb is so close to having everything he ever wanted. If only he could redeem himself in his family’s eyes, he could tell them the truth. 

Everything was on track—even on the sly—if not for the girl… No, the woman with the long brown waves, golden Cherokee skin, and seductive innocence who caught his bear’s eye. Accepting his older brother sees him as a screw-up is one thing; the sweet, gorgeous Kayah feeling that way turns his stomach. She’s already out of his league. But she’s the only woman who's ever dug under his skin, wrapped her fingers around his heart. Can he convince her to take him seriously? Give him a shot? 

With Caleb’s bear demanding he claim her, protect her, he has to try. Love is a marathon. Right? 

Kayah Amos’s life fits into a tidy little box in a tiny mountain town. She does what’s expected of her. Loves teaching. Loves her family. She supports her community and tribal lands, volunteers at the library. Hell, she’s the first one people call for help. So why does Kayah feel so alone? 

On the outside, Kayah’s smile perseveres. Except, with her best friend’s revolving door mistake… her college boyfriend, turned boss-hole, turned budding tyrant. Kayah tried to be supportive, ignoring warning signs that Kaylee wouldn’t listen to, anyway. Until he crosses the line. 

What she doesn’t have time for is falling for her future brother-in-law. Enter fate, laughing in her face. Because that little witch drops the one man who butters her biscuit smack in the middle of her problems.  

He’s a growly stack of muscle, wild hair bad boy with trouble written all over him. Too bad common sense takes a backseat to elevated hormones. Can she overlook the butt-load of secrets he’s hiding? Can she handle a man whose voice alone drops panties across the mountain? Could she forgive herself if she didn’t try? 

Beyond Expectations is book 2 in the Big Paw Mountain series. Full of sexy protectors, growly mountain men, bulky firefighters, bear shifters and their fated mates. HEA, no cheating, Slow burn romance with lots of heat, graphic language.
