Hooking up with an employee is not on my to-do list. Making sure other men have a good time is my business, even if it means suppressing my own desires. It's opening weekend at my clothing-optional campground, guests are starting to arrive, and I've got a pool party and a few hundred peoples' vacations to save while battling Mother Nature's tantrums. The last thing I need is a temporary employee who can't even put up a tent. Luke Cody's not my type. He's too young, too pretty, and too much like my late partner. Another flaky musician? No thanks. But when a storm blows down his campsite, I can't just leave him outside and soaked to the bone. Now he's staying in my cabin, sleeping in my bed, and worst of all, he's completely ignoring the proverbial sign over my head that says Grumpy Bear: Do Not Approach. I'm not quite as immune to his charms as I want him to believe, but he'll only be here for a few days. Nothing's going to happen... Grumpy Bear is a boss/employee, grumpy/sunshine romance set at a gay campground full of bears. (Not shifters; the other kind of bears.) It's the first full-length book in the Bear Camp series and can be read as a standalone.
