Lord of the Maples - Lord of the Maples, #1

Jeremiah Bruin is a wealthy bear shifter that enjoys a life of simplicity and routine in the small Canadian town he lives in. When Mathieu Delacroix comes to live in the small town, Jeremiah can't help but feel drawn to him, but he can't understand why. Likewise, Mathieu finds that he is drawn to Jeremiah and equally cannot understand why. Their lives are full of confusion and frustration as they begin to question themselves and their sexuality as the time passes between them.
Who and what is Mathieu Delacroix and why is Jeremiah so fascinated by him? Is the city-born college student wannabe just that interesting? Or is he, perhaps, prey for the bear to hunt and devour? Could it just be destiny? Could it be.love?
