Joel

By Becca Fanning

Lisa had always been protective of her brother Tom, and for good reason. He always had a knack for getting himself into trouble of all kinds. Lisa didn't resent her brother for his troubles: she just figured he was unlucky. But unlucky didn't even begin to cover it when a werewolf leaped at him, missing his throat by inches. This wedding was not going how she thought it would!
Joel had known Tom for a while, and when he was invited to attend his wedding, Joel was honored. He would be proud to celebrate this wondrous occasion. Of course, that was before the heinous storm that trapped them on this island. That was before the werewolf pack arrived. That was before utter chaos threatened to rip the wedding apart and destroy all of them. But no matter what, he knew he wouldn't give in to the panic that threatened to cast him into the sea.
This 11,000+ word BBW Bear Shifter Romance Novella has all the heat and passion you expect from a Fated Mates story!

Chapter 1

Lisa had only felt time stop like this one time before in her entire life. It had been when she was eight, and Tom was ten, they were in the car, their parents arguing in the front seat, when the back wheels had caught on a patch of ice and spun out across the empty road, sending the car careering towards a patch of ancient trees standing only a few feet away.

She had been a little suspicious of Dina after they first got engaged, a little too flighty, a little too hung up on that weird ex of her's, but since she'd gotten to know her, Lisa had found herself growing fond of her sister-in-law-to-be. And it seemed like the feeling was mutual, as Dina had invited Lisa to be one of her bridesmaids. Lisa had never so much as caught the bouquet before, let alone becoming part of the wedding party, so she was pretty nervous at first. But Dina had infected her with her passion for dresses and flowers and locations and cake, God, all the cake in the world. So, when Lisa had arrived on the island the night before, she had been pretty confident that she was
