About this ebook
Miranda Zane has never been ashamed of her size. But now, even though she’s graduating at the top of her nursing class, anti-fat attitudes are affecting her job prospects.
In a moment of weakness, she decides to investigate weight-loss options. Her best friend Samantha has found a promising one: an all-expenses-paid, year-long study in Alaska … at a commune full of hot lumberjacks.
That sounds intriguing, to say the least. But Miranda forgets all about lumberjacks when she sees the doctors in charge of the study. No-nonsense Carver Rockwell, with his tattoos, beard, and brown eyes dark as pools of water on a moonless night … and Andrei Fedorov, whose permanently wicked smile hints at the depths beneath his polished surface.
Miranda’s more than willing to go to Alaska if it means more time with the hot doctors--especially since Sam qualifies too, so the besties can go together. But once they arrive, Miranda learns there’s far more to the study than she was told. And for her part, she hasn’t been completely honest with the men, either.
Will their mutual deceptions destroy their deepening attraction? Or will this very big girl find happiness with not one, but two gorgeous men who are far more than they appear?
***This bear shifter romance is the first story in the Kodiak Commune serial. It is NOT a full story and contains a Cliffhanger. Stories should be read in order***

Part One
Where are you?
Miranda said under her breath before texting Samantha for the tenth time in the last hour. She was standing next to the platform set up in the school’s athletic field, about to go up with the other award recipients, staring out at the sea of family and friends, well-wishers of all kinds, people who had come for the other students about to graduate. They talked happily as they settled into the rows of folding chairs set up in the middle of the field under the bright Saturday morning sun.
But Miranda’s only guest, her best friend Samantha, was nowhere to be seen. And if she couldn’t be spotted amongst the crowd, that meant she wasn’t there. Big, beautiful, and proud, Samantha was not a woman easily missed. If Miranda couldn’t spot her in the crowd at a glance, she clearly had not arrived.
Disappointment trickled in, and for a moment, Miranda allowed herself to drift over to her pity pot. It’s not fair, she thought. She’d worked so hard to be valedictorian of her class, and yet no one who really cared about her had come to see her get her award, or take her diploma, or listen to her give her speech.
Her Aunt Maggie’s voice floated into her head, "Remember, Miranda, if you ever you find yourself on your pity pot, don’t forget to flush."
Despite herself, a small laugh escaped, and Miranda pressed her lips together, trying to flush away the negativity and look on the bright side of the situation. Aunt Maggie had sent her a postcard, all the way from Malaysia. As usual, the family friend that raised her after the death of her parents was off traveling in some God-forsaken place, doing God knows what for one of her mysterious occupations.
But even though she’d been mostly traveling and out of the country after Miranda had come of age, that never stopped her from always remembering birthdays and other holidays and sending Miranda her notes and cards. Still, Miranda couldn’t help but wonder how her aunt knew she’d made Valedictorian. Maybe she just made the assumption, since Miranda had never been in second place yet. Yeah, that had to be it.
Miranda looked at the people in the audience. Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, grandparents, new babies, all there to honor the new nurse in the family. Miranda hated that she had no family—no real family, since Aunt Maggie wasn’t blood. Aunt Maggie hadn’t come to witness the biggest day of her life because she was halfway across the world, but Sam? What was her excuse?
Miranda pulled out her cell phone for a quick glance to see if Sam had replied to her numerous texts. Nothing. Out of frustration, she sent another text.
Sam!!!!!!
There was a tap on the microphone. Award recipients, will you please come up?
Miranda Zane didn’t make top of her class by ignoring the requests of the teachers and staff, and if the assistant dean wanted to get the show on the road, she was all for it. She tucked her cell phone back into her purse, then with a hand on her cap to keep it from flying off in the unusual dry, gusty wind, she climbed up the steps at the edge of the platform and headed to her assigned seat. Being top in her class, she had the first chair next to the podium on the students’ side of the stage. Her counterpart on the staff side was the dean himself.
The other three award recipients took their seats beside her on her left and Miranda kept her eyes ahead, not speaking to the others. She sat up straight, shoulders back, and crossed her legs at her ankles. She tried to breathe as she gripped the notes on her lap, and forced herself to be calm. Speaking in front of all these people would be the
