***STANDALONE ROMANCE - HEA - NO CLIFFHANGERS*** Desired. He wants her bad. She's not interested. Until she is... Curvy Laila Banks is a businesswoman who works hard to ensure that her clients' needs are met in a professional manner. Laila runs her business like her life: on schedule, on budget, and in the most efficient manner possible. Tristan Sorenson is a bear shifter and an artist. His wildly successful photorealistic paintings have won him the freedom to do exactly what he wants with his time. He sails, he paints, and he exercises his bear as the spirit moves him. Tristan doesn't care what things cost or whether an idea is crazy. He has the money and resources to do whatever he desires. And what he desires above all is Laila. Sparks fly as the heat is turned all the way up. But Laila isn't easily won. Tristan, however, is determined. He knows that Laila is his muse so he pulls out all the stops to win her over... ...But it might not be enough. Because unless Laila can come to terms with who she truly is, this bear may never be able to claim his mate. *A Note to the Reader: Desired is a story of hot, passionate Alpha love.
