Posted December 24, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

If you’ve loved the Shifting Sands Resort series (and I absolutely adored and loved every single moment on that paradise island) then you’ll be quite happy to know that Zoe Chant has a free short story available only on her website as a Christmas Gift to her readers.

A Recipe for Happiness gives us a very early look at the resort and two characters we’ve known and loved throughout the series.  And that’s all the hint you’re going to get.  This story is not downloadable as it will one day be in a Shifting Sands Resort Christmas collection – but we get to read it for free right now.

So, Merry Christmas from Zoe Chant!  Follow either the graphic or the text links above and enjoy yourself.

Dragon Guardian of Land by Keira Blackwood & Eva Knight

Posted December 23, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Captain, treasure hunter, skeptic—Astra is a lot of things.

Or at least she used to be. Can she still call herself a captain after her ship is wrecked? Is she a treasure hunter if the relic she’s been hired to find isn’t real? No matter what happens, she’s still a skeptic.

Unless magic is real.

One thing she’s definitely not—she’s not the kind of girl who’s saving her v-card.

Try telling that to the guys binding her to a rock as a “chaste” sacrifice. Sadly, no one listens to what you have to say when there’s a gag in your mouth.

All Astra knows for certain is that things can’t get any worse. 

Until a make-believe scaled monster swoops down out of the sky. Until he turns into a ripped AF, a very naked, human man who claims her as his mate.

Titles in the Alphas & Alchemy: Elemental Shifters series include – Dragon Guardian of Land – Wolf Warrior of Land –

The Snow Leopard’s Christmas Surprise by Emilia Hartley

Posted December 23, 2019 by Marsha in Christmas Shifters, Shifter / 0 Comments

Ellie was just looking for a normal holiday. She had planned to spend it with her family. Her mother, father and her baby boy, Casper.

When Nolan showed up, things took a turn for the worst. She couldn’t believe him. Why would he return after all these years? She didn’t need him then, and she doesn’t need him now.

Though, she had to admit. Casper and Nolan seemed to get along together really well…

(at one time this was considered a standalone story – now it’s part of a three-book set entitled Shifters Christmas)

Happy Holidays – Merry Christmas – to all my Shifter loving friends

Posted December 22, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Haven Discussion / 0 Comments

It’s that time of year once again.  The hecticness and the very specialness of the holiday season are upon us all – and I wish you the happiest of whatever it is that you celebrate.

I’m ending the year on a bit of slowness here at Shifter Haven.  And for that, I am truly sorry that life and other obligations got in the way of my spending more time on the blog, with the stories that honestly matter most to me.  There are changes in the works for the New Year – and we’ll see how that comes together in the weeks to come.

For now, I only wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas, or whatever holiday matters to you since we all are unique in our beliefs and personalities.  I hope that 2020 is “your year” to shine and accomplish all that you could wish for.  May your New Year be full of happiness, wellness, good friends, loving families… and lots and lots of Shifter shenanigans.  🙂

Hopefully, I’m not done with posting for 2019 at Shifter Haven – but Christmas greetings just can’t wait, ya know?  I’m thankful for family, friends, and readers who love the furry, frantic, ferocious, funny, feisty, and unique Shifter worlds and characters as much as I do.

Steal Her Heart by T. S. Joyce

Posted December 22, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Maris Thurgood is in deep trouble. Abandoned to care for a ranch on her own, she’s struggling from sunup to sundown to keep up with the work. When a pack of werewolves begins preying on her herd, she has no choice but to sell. A chance meeting at the cattle auction has her wondering why someone as tall, dark, and growly as Bryson Locke would take any interest in a business venture with her. He’s got one rule for her, and that is to never go outside past sundown while he’s hunting the wolves. But what she starts realizing about him…Bryson Locke is much more dangerous than the pack of predators that are hunting her.

Bryson didn’t get to be the Ranch Manager at the Kaid Brother’s Ranch by accident. He has a certain set of skills that allows him to protect the massive herd from predators. For a couple of years now, he’s been spinning his wheels and looking for a purpose, and one lands right in his lap in the form of the beautiful, curvy, spitfire who has trouble written all over her. Why would a pack of werewolves terrorize this woman? And more importantly, why does he care so much? Pride is everything for a rancher, and Maris has it in excess. She has her guard up and has obviously been hurt before, but the more he gets to know of her, the more he wants to find out why she’s being targeted by the wolves…and that answer might get them both killed.

Titles in the Kaid Ranch Shifters series include – Steal Her Heart – Make Her New – Lift Her Up – Love Her Better

When a gorgeous, powerful dragon shifter kisses an innocent human musician in an alley, he knows their love will last forever…

Mindy Owens doesn’t live a glamorous life as a musician, but she loves what she does, even if it requires dealing with frustrating bandmates and frequent harassment. She doesn’t even think about romance. That is, until a smoldering, gorgeous giant saves her, gives her the kiss of a lifetime, and leaves her with only a promise to see her again soon.

Taylor has definitely found his mate. Which is unexpected, since the silver dragon has only recently acclimated to living with humans. But what he lacks in verbosity he intends to make up for in taking care of Mindy in every way possible. Because for the first time in his life he has hope again.  Now he just has to hope that his secrets don’t ruin his chances at love.

When surprising events lead to a possible break for Mindy, Taylor will have to break his silence and put everything on the line if their love is to continue burning brightly. Because shadows from Taylor’s past are on the horizon, and they’re coming for the one thing Taylor can’t let them have.

Shifting Alliances by Riley Storm

Posted November 12, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Working at a dive bar on the outskirts of Plymouth Falls, Amber Ferlund can’t fall any further. But when the darkness inside her rears its head yet again, driving her out into the cold darkness of a northern winter, she realizes there’s always one more level of hell. Having abandoned herself, she waits for death to free her from looming insanity. What she doesn’t expect is that her savior will appear dressed in black, his sword stopping a hair from her throat. Nor that he will be so good looking.

Kasperi is on the hunt. He and his fellow bear shifters have been dispatched to investigate reports of magic being used in Plymouth Falls. Now, hot on the heels of the rogue mage, he readies his weapon and prepares to rid the world of yet another enemy, before they can kill more of his friends. But he stays his hand at the sight of the beautiful but beleaguered woman, alone in the forest, moments from freezing to death. She’s no threat to him, is she?

His fellow shifters disagree, but Kasperi knows they’re wrong. This woman needs aid, not the blade of his sword. Together, they must teach her how to control her gifts, to use them for good before they corrupt her completely. Nearby waits his former fellows, ready to take her head for the slightest mistake, and deeper in the shadows lurks a stronger enemy, one who recognizes Amber’s true potential. But, if anyone wants to get to Amber, they’ll have to go through Kasperi first, because he’ll protect his mate at all costs.

Posted October 28, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

“Rebel with a cause” Gemma Archer flees Boston one step ahead of a creepy stalker. Now she’s in London, trying to build a new normal — and absolutely, positively not getting involved with any men. That is until an irresistible stranger prowls into her life. Liam is a sweet, sexy modern-day knight who sparks her sizzling desires. The problem? He’s as loony as some of her relatives. Dragons? Lion shifters? Werewolves? The poor man really seems to believe the tales he spins.

Liam Bennett is fresh out of the military and doing his best to adjust to civilian life. But fitting in was never his forte as a shifter of mixed blood. He’s part lion — a member of London’s most noble family — and part rogue, with “undesirable” dragon blood. When the Guardians of London hire him to help maintain law and order, Liam jumps at the chance to prove himself. Soon, he discovers nothing is as it seems — not among his allies, enemies, or even his own family. The only thing he can be sure of is the danger Gemma is in.

A deadly foe has stalked Gemma for thousands of miles, and Liam has no choice but to spirit away his destined mate to his ancestral dragon home — the remote castle in Wales he’s been avoiding for years. But hiding out is not enough. Can Liam and Gemma survive cunning enemies and the deceptions of the past?

Bite Deeper by T. S. Joyce

Posted October 23, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Mae Dafoe is back in her hometown chasing ghosts. She’s forgotten what it’s like to be around her big crazy family, and it’s a big adjustment coming from the life she’s created for herself in the years she’s been gone. Three days here, and then she can go back to her apartment in the city, and far away from the swamps of Uncertain. All she needs is closure. But when she finds one of the ghosts she’s been chasing, she’s shocked to find he isn’t a ghost at all, but a shifter. The old Cole that she knew doesn’t exist anymore, but as she gets to know this sexy, dangerous, growly New Cole…she starts thinking about the life she left behind. Pulled between two very different worlds, she has to decide on a damaging past and an uncertain future…and somehow survive them both.

Cole Jennings goes by the name Fargo now. Might as well, since he’s a dog most of the time. He’s hidden what happened to him from the entire town, but a girl he used to know is back in his territory, scratching at his secrets. He has one job to do, and that’s to keep the Lachlan gators and their mates protected, but Mae DaFoe is pulling at his instincts to let the animal inside of him go and to be a better man. She’ll have to wait for him to finish his hunt though because he has a grudge that won’t ever go away. If he can just keep her away from him for a little while longer, maybe he can keep her safe, too.

This is an adult 18+ story that includes language, violence and sexual situations geared toward an adult audience.
