Too Much to Bear
by Reina Torres

Boone Wayland was a shifter, a problem solver, and a protector, not always in that order. When he decided he wanted to find his mate, there was only one place to go... the Fated Mates Agency masterfully run by Hattie Lovejoy. But, finding a mate when he had a store to run and a houseful of boys to raise made the traditional model of 'dating' nearly impossible.
He wasn't just looking for a mate for himself. He was the foster father for a handful of teenage shifters, and they needed more than he could give them.
Still, he had a hunger for a mate. To love her, care for her... He just had to hope that Hattie could find him just the right woman.
Willa Barnes was a woman who was magic in the kitchen. Running the front and back of a café owned by the man she thought was her boyfriend. When the jerk left for Vegas with another woman, Willa met Hattie Lovejoy.
Hattie swore she had the perfect man for Willa. All she had to do was meet him and see.
Who knew that she'd fine true love and an instant family in Sylvan City?

Reina Torres' Bio

Love -- Romance -- Books Aren't they all the same thing? Oh, I sure hope so! I've been reading romance books for what seems like forever. When I was a teen, the days that I wasn't in dance class after school I'd go to the mall to wait for my mom to finish work for the day and my haunt of choice... Waldenbooks. (I think I just showed my age there.) Whether it was Scottish Lairds, Medieval Knights, Regency Gents, Rough and Tumble Cowboys, or handsome modern Heroes, I loved them all! There was always another hero and heroine to follow through page after page of breathless love! I really hope that my readers will enjoy some of the same thrills as discover characters to love between the pages of my books.
