When Niels Orson is summoned home to attend his grandfather's funeral, he isn't prepared to see the one person who could upset his whole life.
Edie Battista. His fated mate.
Beautiful as ever, the mayor of Aster Village and owner of Battista Bakery has blossomed into a striking woman. Sassy and curvy, she is every Bear's dream. Even if her welcome is less than cordial.
Not that he blames her.
In and out, that's his plan. But Niels is met with a few surprises from the old man's last will and testament. He must take steps to claim ownership of the small New Jersey village, or it will be sold to a ruthless developer.
Can Niels' save the town and claim his mate? Or will he become the ice man everyone thinks he is?
