The tiny tourist town of Aurora Falls has a very big secret… Polar bear shifter Finn Isberson is a pretty chill guy. Like most unmated males, he’s kind of a loner. Fishing, coaching the local youth ice hockey team, and weekly dinners with his family are enough for him. Catering to the human tourists who come to Aurora Falls for a unique polar bear experience isn’t really his thing… until her. She’s everything he’s ever wanted in a mate, but the odds are stacked against him. Not only is she human, but she’s also got a job and life beyond Aurora Falls and he’s only got a week to convince her that he’s the man/bear for her. Given the choice of spending the holidays alone or with her twin brother and his spoiled mean-girl girlfriend, veterinarian Lainey Swann decides to go polar AF—Aurora Falls, that is. The tiny northern Canada town is the self-proclaimed polar bear capital of the world, plus Lainey’s always had a soft spot for the big, furry beasts. She didn’t expect the VIP holiday package to include the personal attention of the sexy Viking with arctic green eyes. And she certainly didn’t expect to fall so hard, so fast. When a Christmas miracle becomes a matter of life and death, Lainey is plunged headfirst into a fantastical world and learns the truth – not only about Finn, but about the secret behind the town’s success. Will Finn be able to convince Lainey they belong together? Or will she flee and expose them all? Going Polar is a sweet, heartwarming, light paranormal romance featuring polar bear shifters, perfect for getting in the holiday mood any time of year.

"I like to go out for walks, but it's a little awkward to push the baby stroller and carry a shotgun at the same time." -- housewife from Churchill, Manitoba Yes, welcome to Churchill, Manitoba. Year-round human population: 943. Yet despite the isolation and the searing cold here at the arctic's edge, visitors from around the globe flock to the town every fall, driven by a single purpose: to see polar bears in the wild. Churchill is "The Polar Bear Capital of the World," and for one unforgettable "bear season," Zac Unger, his wife, and his three children moved from Oakland, California, to make it their temporary home. But they soon discovered that it's really the polar bears who are at home in Churchill, roaming past the coffee shop on the main drag, peering into garbage cans, languorously scratching their backs against fence posts and front doorways. Where kids in other towns receive admonitions about talking to strangers, Churchill schoolchildren get "Let's All Be Bear Aware" booklets to bring home. (Lesson number 8: Never explore bad-smelling areas.) Zac Unger takes readers on a spirited and often wildly funny journey to a place as unique as it is remote, a place where natives, tourists, scientists, conservationists, and the most ferocious predators on the planet converge. In the process he becomes embroiled in the controversy surrounding "polar bear science" -- and finds out that some of what we've been led to believe about the bears' imminent extinction may not be quite the case. But mostly what he learns is about human behavior in extreme situations . . . and also why you should never even think of looking a polar bear in the eye.
