The Bear Hunt

By Elias Keane

Spice level: 4/5
Trapped together in a remote cabin during a blizzard. One bed. One very enthusiastic dog. And zero escape.

Wildlife biologist Wes Karelian came to the Cascade Mountains to grieve in silence. After losing his husband, he craves nothing but snow, solitude, and the chance to disappear. Instead, he gets August Doyle-broad-shouldered, bearded, and annoyingly cheerful-along with his muddy truck and a massive Chesapeake Bay retriever who immediately claims Wes's bed as her own.
A double-booking and a vicious winter storm leave them snowed in with no power, no cell service, and nowhere to run. Wes wants Augie gone. Augie wants to make the best of it. What neither expects is the slow, scorching heat building between them as the temperature outside plummets.As days turn into nights by firelight, irritation gives way to reluctant respect... then to desperate, hungry touches. But when the snow finally begins to thaw, Wes must decide if he's brave enough to let someone new into his shattered heart. And Augie faces an impossible choice: the trophy hunt he's waited years for, or the man who just might be worth walking away from everything for.The Bear Hunt is a tender, steamy, forced-proximity MM romance featuring: Grumpy/sunshine vibesHurt/comfort and healing griefA scene-stealing dogSlow-burn tension that explodesOne unforgettable "I choose you" momentPerfect for fans of forced proximity, mountain man romance, and second chances at love.
