    About this ebook

    In her young life, Jessi Wilder had always been surrounded by... the same.

    Same scenery. Same friends. Same thing every day.

    And, for the most part, that was fine with her. After all, bear shifters were a peaceful bunch who only wanted to live and let live. Yet, something always gnawed at the curvy young woman.

    The truth was that deep inside she yearned for... the different.

    Different sights. Different scents. Different men.

    But when different made its sudden appearance one day in the form of two mysterious and sexy strangers, Jessi’s world of sameness threatened to unravel. Helpless to avoid their pursuit of her, Jessi soon discovers that her desire for the different and wild things of the world has its consequences - both good and bad.

    For Jessi, different will never be the same again...

    An Excerpt from the Book:

    She looked at him in silence. To call this unfamiliar territory for her would be the understatement of a lifetime.

    It was clear to Daryn that his confession had caught her off guard. In an effort to erase any ambiguity from her mind he quickly said, “Jessi, right now there is nothing more in this life that I desire more than you. But I cannot take you unless you consent to Theo as well. Therefore, if you are unsure, please tell me... before it is too late. Once we have bonded, what is forged between us cannot be undone. Your consent to me is your consent to him - to us.”

    “But... this is not the way of my kind. Never have I heard of such a thing among my people. I’m just... confused.”

    “Jessi, inside we are all of the same kind. The only thing that separates us are varying degrees of teeth and fur and chance of birth. Love has no species or arbitrary customs. It is the only pure thing that we all share.”

    “Love?” she whispered.

      An Excerpt from the Book:

      She looked at him in silence. To call this unfamiliar territory for her would be the understatement of a lifetime.

      It was clear to Daryn that his confession had caught her off guard. In an effort to erase any ambiguity from her mind he quickly said, "Jessi, right now there is nothing in this life that I desire more than you. But I cannot take you unless you consent to Theo as well. Therefore, if you are unsure, please tell me… before it is too late. Once we have bonded, what is forged between us cannot be undone. Your consent to me is your consent to him - to us."

      Her gaze was still locked on to his deep aqua pools. Hypnotized by the moment she said, But… this is not the way of my kind. Never have I heard of such a thing among my people. I’m just… confused.

      "Jessi, inside we are all of the same kind. The only thing that separates us are varying degrees of teeth and fur and chance of birth. Love has no species or arbitrary customs. It is the only pure thing that we all share."

      Love? she whispered.

      ***

      It was day number four…

      Jessi Wilder should know. She had counted every one of them.

      They'd first shown up earlier in the week - Tuesday to be exact. And every day since they’d come into her family's diner and ordered the same meal.

      Steak and eggs.

      There was nothing unusual about the order itself except that no one she knew (aside from her own kind) ate meat the way they did.

      It wasn't just rare - they wanted it cold.

      But, they weren't bears… of that much she was certain. She’d tried to scent them a number of times but so far all she knew was that they weren’t her kind. However, she also knew that they weren’t human either.

      Perplexed, she leaned against the refrigerated pie and cake display and watched them take their seats. As she looked on Jessi’s mom Sandy walked over and said, "They're here again?"

      Without looking in her mom’s direction, she chewed nervously on her lower lip and replied, Yeah.

      Jessi watched as the hostess, her older sister Megan, seated the men at a booth near one of the large windows that faced Brynweth Avenue.

      "And at your station again I see." Her mom said.

      Mm, hmm.

      As Megan headed back towards the front of the restaurant, she made eye contact with Jessi and shrugged her shoulders. Ever since the first day they’d come in, they’d asked to sit in her section. For the life of her, she couldn’t figure out why.

      It couldn’t be that they were attracted to her. Not men that look like that. Female bears were curvy girls and that’s just the way that it was. She imagined that men like them could have their pick of any females they desired. So in her mind, they couldn’t possibly be interested in her. She didn’t have to like it but she did have to accept it.

      Anyway, aside from their food orders, they never said more than two words to her but then again, they never seemed to talk to one another much either. In fact, they usually spent a majority of their time taking turns looking out the window as they ate.

      At the very least it was odd.

      What’s more, people had started to talk.

      Strangers got noticed in Ellisville. Especially ones as handsome as them. After all, it wasn’t everyday that men like these showed up in her small town. As far as Jessi was concerned, nothing ever happened here.

      It was a pleasant enough place and one of the few parts of the world that let bear shifters like her family live in peace. The humans in town knew all about their kind and treated them as much like one of their own as could be expected. It was a great place to have grown up and lived in - even if it was slow paced.

      Jessi, what’s with you? her mom asked as she nudged her daughter.

      Hmm? Oh… Nothing. I’m fine. She replied.

      "Jessica Elizabeth Wilder. Don’t you lie to me."

      She turned towards her mother and as she did, a mischievous grin came across her face. Her mother leaned away and raised an eyebrow of suspicion. What? she asked cautiously.

      "I can’t take it any more…" Jessi said excitedly.

      "You can’t take what?"

      "Aren’t you curious at all Mom?"

      Jessica, what on Earth are you talking about?

      Mom! she said in loud whisper as she angled her head in the direction of the men. "Them! Don’t you want to know why they are here?"

      "Jessica… No."

      No, what, Mom?

      "Jessica… That is not our way. Honey, now you know that bears don’t go meddling in other people’s affairs. It’s just not polite or smart."

      Oh Mom, come on. Aren’t you the least bit curious?

      "No. Not in the least and neither should you be."

      Jessi grimaced and then pursed her lips in her mother’s direction.

      Don’t even think about giving me sass Jessica. Now just take their order and mind your own business. Go on now. Go.

      Fine! Jessi huffed as she snatched an order pad from the counter and headed over towards the booth where the men were seated.

      Her mother had gotten her so flustered she’d momentarily forgotten about how good looking they were. Physically speaking, they were much different than her kind. Both of them had dark complexions and equally thick heads of hair - one as black as graphite and the other deep mahogany brown with natural honeyed colored strands jutting out randomly.

      The one with black hair was seated to the immediate left of where she stood. His emerald eyes sparkled against the dark contrast of his curled locks. To her right, sat what appeared to be his
