Bear Knuckle Brawlers
by Summer Donnelly
Who are the Bear Knuckle Brawlers? It's an MMA Shifter full-contact combat sport that allows striking and grappling, both standing and on the ground, using techniques from various combat sports and martial arts AND shifting into apex predator form. Take THAT, gladiators!!
In Fighting for her Bear, we meet Zane and Everly. Some of you may have read their intro story in Betting on her Bear (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KDZT9X9)
Everly Miller's grandfather left her and her cousin Fannie joint ownership in his farm. But due to the codicil of the will, she needs to be married in order to inherit.
Injuries forced Bear Knuckle Brawler Zane Dixon to Silver Fells, North Carolina to enjoy his retirement. His manager, however, has other ideas.
Will their brief flirtation turn to more? Will Zane's old injury keep him from his future? Or will these two people fight hard for each other and their growing love?

Everly
Everly Smith rubbed the space between her eyebrows as she felt a headache creep up on her. She was tired, cold, and hungry. She was close to tears, and the last thing she wanted to do was argue with her cousin Fannie. And yet, here they were.
“Fannie, you can’t do this! This is our legacy. The only thing Granddad gave to us. Even if we did decide to sell it, why do you want to sell to that company?” Everly’s slim hands moved to her temples, hoping the impending headache could be nipped in the bud. She should have saved her breath. If there was something Fannie Hopkins wanted, she pushed until she got it.
Everly wasn’t completely against selling the acreage their grandfather had left them. She loved Silver Fells, but she wanted to finish college, too. Her share of the sale of twenty acres would let her finish getting her degree in commercial art and pay for an apartment in town for a few months. She’d still have to work part-time at the Lusty Leopard, but she liked her job at the shifter bar.
She just didn’t want to do it this way.
“Grandfather’s will was very clear. The first of us to get married inherits the house and land. Are you getting married any time soon?”
Everly detested the smug tone in her cousin’s voice.
“You know I’m not.” She began twirling one of her copper-colored curls to soothe some of her nervousness.
“Right. Because you keep hanging out with those animals.”
Anger burned in Everly. Pure and raw, she let it pulse through her.
She thought about the friends she’d made in Silver Fells, North Carolina. It was a small community of both civilians and former members of the Shifter Special Forces. Whether they heard of the town by word of mouth or the recent articles on the blog site Shifter Sightings, the town continued to grow.
“They aren’t animals,” Everly returned, keeping her voice even despite the rage that coursed through her. It would not help her cause to get emotional with her cousin. She thought of the shifter dating website her friend Luna convinced her to try. Plenty of Paws was brand new but getting new members signing up every day from all over the world.
