    About this ebook

    Capri is a businesswoman first, but her father's daughter second. Her co-workers see her as just the boss's daughter, so she works extra hard scouting locations and figuring out new ways to market Outdoor Bound, her father's real baby. It's one of these excursions that is leading her back to Hunter, the gorgeous, brooding shifter who hates her, almost as much as she wants him.

    Hunter has always been sure of who he is, and his place in this world, but since his brothers have all settled down with their mates and have started families, he's feeling out of sorts. Not that he wants what they have, in fact, that's the problem. As much as he loves his nieces and nephews, Hunter isn't ready to have kids, so, when Capri comes back to town, stirring up feelings he isn't ready to face, he does what he can to keep things casual between them.

    At the first touch, they know what they have is special, and although they both agreed to a one time, no-strings fling, they will soon realize, that one time will never be enough.

      Hunter - DJ Bryce

      Chapter 1

      Capri

      Capri didn’t consider herself a sadist, a glutton for punishment, or a pushover, but ever since she’d met Hunter Grizzly, she began to wonder if she was wrong.

      As head of Marketing for Outdoor Bound, a catalog that specialized in outdoor gear specifically designed for Alaska, Capri was no stranger to being a woman in a man’s world. Add to it that her father built the catalog from the ground up, and she not only had to deal with being a woman, but being the daughter.

      Although she loved living in Anchorage, when the opportunity to travel alone to a small town in Alaska to scout the area for the summer catalog, Capri had begged and pleaded to get the assignment. She’d needed a break. A break from the city, a break from her job, and most of all, a break from the resentment of the men she worked with.

      No matter how many hours she put in, or the fantastic ideas she came up with for the catalog, they always looked at her like she wouldn’t even be there if her father didn’t own the company.

      Capri had been thoroughly enjoying the solace, until she’d run across Hunter.

      At first, she’d thought he was Blaze, her coworker Reagan’s boyfriend whom she’d met upon arrival. But the second he’d locked those black eyes on hers, she realized her mistake.

      No, they may share the same large frame and dark good looks, but there was no way she could mistake Hunter for his easygoing brother. He’d seemed to hate her on sight, and when she’d sent Blaze on a trip that had ended in a helicopter crash, Hunter had been seconds away from ripping her in half.

      She’d never been so terrified in her life as she’d been the day Hunter had roared that he’d kill her if anything happened to his brother, and then, when they’d arrived at their third brother’s home, she’d seen a man shift into a grizzly bear.

      She’d almost expired on the spot.

      Luckily, Blaze hadn’t been killed in the crash, and all three brothers made it back home safely. Capri hadn’t been prepared for the sight of the triplets returning naked as the day they were born, and had been unable to look away from the spectacle that they’d made.

      All large, extra-large, with bulging muscles, jet-black hair, and expressions varying from relief, to determination, to anger. Capri had taken a nice long look, before turning her head and blushing.

      Jesus, she’d thought Hunter was magnificent with his clothes on, but he was even more perfect wearing nothing at all.

      Even though things had turned out okay, nothing had changed that day. Hunter was still scowling at her when she’d returned to the airport for her trip back home.

      That didn’t change the fact that over the months since she’d left, Capri hadn’t been able to stop thinking of the perpetually pissed off bear.

      The way he scowled at her. His growl. And, God help her, his naked form. Those were the only things that filtered through her mind every night as she fell asleep. She hadn’t dated, or even slept with anyone, because, seriously, how could anyone ever measure up?

      Instead, her vibrator had gotten a serious workout, and her tension had ramped up as winter turned into spring, and the time for her to return grew near.

      Would he still be the same? Scowling, growling, and ready to fight her at every turn? Or, had he already forgotten she existed? Maybe he didn’t find their animosity as exciting as she did. Maybe she was nuts, wrong, a freak… Why else would she be so turned on, so all-consumed by a man who obviously hated her and everything she represented.

      He’d mocked her for working for her father.

      He’d threatened her life, promised bodily harm, and nearly scared her to death.

      Capri knew that when she got back to that town, she should stay as far away from him as possible. She shouldn’t seek out that kind of attention, it wasn’t normal… or healthy.

      And yet, no one had ever made her feel the way Hunter had with just one look. No one had ever made her body feel like a live wire, like she was ready to ignite and explode just by being in the same room with them.

      No one had ever growled in her face, making her panties wet, even as her heart beat, panicked, in her chest.

      Capri had decided that she probably needed therapy, but that didn’t stop her from crossing off the days on the calendar until it was finally time for her to go back.

      Now, as she lifted her luggage off the cart and wheeled it toward the airport, she was practically trembling, her stomach a riot of nerves. She was supposed to grab the car she’d leased and head to the cabin she’d rented, then go to location to make sure everything was good for the arrival of the crew over the next week, but instead of turning toward the car counter, Capri found her feet heading in the direction of the Grizzly brother’s office.

      The door was open, so Capri walked inside, then paused when both brothers stopped what they were doing and looked up at her.

      Hi, she began, suddenly at a loss as to how to explain her appearance in their office.

      Hey, Capri, Blaze said with a genuine grin as he stood up and crossed to her. He pulled her into a hug then pulled back to look down at her. How have you been? Reagan’s going to be so happy to see you.

      Capri had to crane her head back so far that she could feel her neck stiffen, but she grinned up at Blaze who’d just given her the perfect excuse for being here.

      Good, and I can’t wait to see her, and those beautiful babies.

      Reagan and Blaze had become parents two months prior, but since Capri had been stuck at work, she’d only been able to send gifts for the babies. She couldn’t wait to see them.

      Blaze’s face beamed with happiness at the mention of his children.

      They’re a handful, he said with a chuckle, then stepped back and took in her suitcase. "Oh, yeah, I forgot Reagan had mentioned the big catalog shoot, I didn’t realize it
