Secret Baby For The Soldier Bear by Meg Ripley

A wounded Special Ops bear shifter.
A fiercely independent she-panther.
And the secret she carried for months...
His baby.

Family is everything, and that's why I'd promised my struggling mother I'll always provide for her.
And after my medical discharge from the Army, I knew I could continue to make good on my word by enlisting in the Special Ops Shifter Force.
But what I didn't know? By joining, I'd be coming face to face with Emersyn again.
The woman my bear couldn't ignore.
The pantheress my soul couldn't resist.
One glimpse of those enticing feline eyes of hers brought me right back to the fiery nights we shared in the barracks.
And my bear raged with the desire to claim his mate all over again.
The way things ended, I never thought I'd see her again.
But here we are, partnered up on a risky mission to ease tensions between the shifter gangs of L.A.
Too bad I can't seem to ease tensions between us.
Just when I think things are complicated enough, she drops the mother of all bombshells on me.
You see, all this time, I'd been focused on supporting my family.
But little did I know, I'd started a new one with Emersyn.
Lucas is just about a year old now, and the moment I held him, I knew I'd never let him go.
No matter what dangers lie ahead on this mission, I'll stop at nothing to protect what's mine.
And win back Emersyn's heart forever.
