The stand alone first title in a brand-new shifter trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend.


Get mated—or else!


When their meddling, match-making family patriarch lays down the law, Giles Borealis’ three polar bear shifter grandsons agree to follow his edict. Only James, Alex and Cooper each have a vastly different plan in mind to deal with their impending mating fevers. Will any of them be able to fight fate?


Spoiler: not likely!


First up: James, the youngest of the brothers…


He’s going to accept his fate—but only with the woman he chooses!


James Borealis figures if he has to get mated, it should be with someone he already knows and cares about—his best friend Kaylee. But when the mating fever hits, she’s still stuck in friendshipland while he’s ready to move all the way to true love and forever.


Kaylee has heard about polar bear mating fever, but while James has held the starring role in her fantasies for a long time, she’s not about to leap into a permanent relationship that’s all wrong for him. He’s the PR powerhouse for Borealis Gems while she’s a quiet bobcat shifter with massive family baggage. He loves the spotlight; she wants to hide in quiet corners.


But mating fever knows best, and when the storm settles, there’s no use in arguing with a polar bear’s choice.
