Spirit Bear or romancing the bear

Hello,

I’m new to blogging so please be patient.

My novel may be a romance, but my agenda is the environment. I want people to read and be entertained but I also would like to inspire them to take action to protect and preserve wild things and wild places. I’d really like to know if this is something that will work in this genre.

But first a little about my book.

Spirit Bear is about a corporate climber that goes to battle with an eco-warrior over a ski development that threatens the habitat of the rare, mystical Spirit Bear.

Kimberley James is hoping her new assignment will jump-start her stalled career with a New York corporate relations firm. Her client wants to develop a mega ski resort in northern Canada. Her job is to convince the current owners of the land to sell. With millions of dollars to be made, it seems like a done deal.

Until she runs up against Jonah Baker.

Baker is part owner of a lodge on the land and an ardent environmentalist. He’s not about to permit a development that threatens ancient rain forests and the habitat of the rare and endangered Spirit Bear for any price.

Kim begrudgingly respects his principles before profit, but cannot allow a tree-hugging, bear-loving zealot to derail her fast-track to success.

Jonah admires her determination and worldliness, but will fight to the end to stop a materialistic corporate climber from destroying something rare and unique.

Will their mutual attraction to one another be a catalyst that helps develop an understanding? Will the mythical, white Spirit Bear survive, and what role will it play in resolving what appear to be irreconcilable differences?

The story is about money, morals and mystery and, as well as a satisfying romance has factual information about the Spirit Bear and First Nations culture.
