Ursus Horribilis

People are mean, life is hard, and then you die. Grab as much as you can on the journey.
The Rhee Hess mantra for survival has reaped very little happiness for her and sown lots of discord. When her cousin, Missouri Hess asks for help, Rhee is already dodging a Russian hitman, a repo guy after her new Harley, and a government agent who claims he’s from the IRS. Bitter Creek Holler seems like a great place to lay-low, and lending a helping hand to Miz’s neighbor might be Rhee’s ticket to gold.
Shep Buchanan is a billionaire genius. Using his substantial means and intelligence, he controls a secret paranormal agency that collects information on magical beings for the government. He can’t be bribed or his files hacked—until he’s attacked with a death hex spell and loses his wits. Enter Rhee Hess, cousin of Missouri Hess, Shep’s neighbor in Bitter Creek Holler.
The mouthy, mercenary, conniving, spirit-weaving witch has no fear of Shep’s thousand pound alter ego and shows no respect for the man who houses the beast. But Rhee soon discovers mating heat can throw the most stable shifter out of whack, and this shifter can be a real grizzly when he’s courting his mate.
