In the small town of Bear Creek, bear shifter, Stellan guards an old wound. As a direct descendant of the town’s founders and member of the Bear Creek Guardians, he is sworn to protect its secret shifter inhabitants. But now history threatens to repeat itself as shifters fall mysteriously ill—the same sickness that took Stellan’s father from him years ago.

As a doctor at Bear Bluff Hospital, Stellan carries the burden of responsibility to help others avoid the pain he and his mother experienced.

Mia arrives in Bear Creek with secrets of her own. A gifted herbalist, Mia has all but given up on finding love, but she is inexplicably drawn to Stellan’s caring nature, though her past has left her slow to trust. When Stellan reveals the truth about Bear Creek’s shifters and asks for Mia’s help, she agrees to use her skills to find a cure.

Working together in close quarters, Mia and Stellan’s attraction ignites. But with time running out and shifters’ lives at stake, love seems a luxury they can’t afford.

To save the town and secure their future, Mia and Stellan must stop the sickness, heal old wounds, and overcome their differences. The fate of the town hangs in the balance, and so too the second chance both Stellan and Mia have been hoping for.

Descended from the first Bear Creek Guardians, Stellan is one of six protectors, each with a story to be told. He has guarded his heart for too long, but in coming together to safeguard their town, this shifter doctor and gifted healer may just find that love is the most potent cure of all.

She’s a shifter fixer who can fix anything … except herself.

Exiled from her clan, jaguar shifter Max is a P.I. who handles unique shifter problems. Incriminating photos, blackmail, mate problems? Max helps others solve their problems because there is no cure for her own loneliness. At least none that she knows.

He never had a problem he couldn’t solve … until now.

After an unwanted shifter transformation, Gio is on the run, at the mercy of a shattered animal he can’t talk to, staying one step ahead of magical assassins who want to tear him apart to get at the secret inside him. He can’t fix this.

But maybe she can: the beautiful woman with eyes he could fall into. The damaged yet kind and resilient woman that his unwanted, half-bonded lion keeps wanting him to touch.

As the leader of the Bear Creek Guardians, it is Thane’s duty to protect the town folk—and their secrets. When two hikers go missing in his beloved mountains, the last thing this bear shifter needs is a curious journalist poking around.

Even if she is his mate!

Soon Thane is torn between the oath his ancestors swore as a Bear Creek Guardian and the bond he shares with his mate. But are ancient unseen forces guiding him?

Sable came to town seeking answers about the disappearance of two hikers. She definitely didn’t expect an irresistible protector to come ambling into her life…and possibly her heart.
Before she knows it, Sable is falling into Thane’s strong capable arms. And irresistible paws.

When the mystery surrounding the missing hikers deepens, these fated mates must find answers before it’s too late. But their investigation soon puts Sable’s life in jeopardy. And Thane must race to save his mate… And the future of the Bear Creek Guardians.

Danger has come prowling into these woods. And this guardian has scented his perfect match at last—if only he can persuade his curious mate to stand by his side forever.

Descended from the first Bear Creek Guardians, Thane is sworn to carry on their legacy. As the leader of the six protectors bound by blood and duty, he has almost given up hope of finding his perfect mate. But in fighting for their future and the survival of his kind against dangers that threaten to tear them apart, this bear shifter will discover that love gives even the greatest of warriors their greatest strength.

Wolf’s Midlife Secret Child by Meg Ripley

When I ran out on Max sixteen years ago, I never expected to be captured by my wolf pack.
Or pregnant with Max’s daughter.

When Max and I got into an argument all those years ago over deciding the best way to raise our little boy, I needed to blow off steam and take a walk.

Little did I know my father would have me captured, demoted to the lowest member of our pack, and living a life of servitude.  As Alpha of the Greystones, he never accepted me being mated to a Glenwood, knowing a witch bloodline runs through their veins.

So when I discover I’m pregnant, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my baby girl safe. But when her magical abilities emerge sixteen years later, I beg her to keep them locked away for her safety— until they prove to be our key to freedom.

Max is in for the shock of his life.  He’d been told I was killed long ago, but here I am on his doorstep at forty, with the teenage daughter he never knew he had.

Stormwolf Summer by Zoe Chant

Posted July 1, 2023 by Marsha in Kindle Unlimited, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series, TBR Read / 0 Comments

War zones and wildfires? No sweat.
A summer camp full of shifter kids? Oh, hell no.

Buck Frazer has been a lot of things in his life – a Marine, a firefighter, human. And now, after an unwanted bite, he’s a motherloving werewolf. With wings.

He’s supposed to be enjoying his hard-earned retirement, not waking up naked on rooftops. But the feral furball sharing his skin wants to be part of a pack. And no matter how hard he fights, it keeps dragging him to one place: Camp Thunderbird. A secret summer camp for shifter kids… which is in desperate need of a camp counselor.

Two months wrangling a pack of hyperactive nine-year-olds who poof into fur every five minutes. Buck would rather swallow ground glass, but his personal curse isn’t giving him a choice.

Only one thing could make this worse… and she just said, “Hi! I’m your co-counselor!”

The gorgeous woman with the sunny smile is the last thing he needs – now, or ever. Even the damn kids can see the connection between them (and are way too keen to give fate a helping hand, as if he didn’t have enough problems already). Her briefest touch has the beast in him howling for release.

She’s his motherloving mate.

And she doesn’t… seem to have… noticed?

Which doesn’t make a lick of sense. Buck knows shifters (not that he is one, thank you very much). The moment they meet their mate, every other thought falls out of their tiny skulls. And Camp Thunderbird is shifters-only; no humans allowed. The infuriating woman must know she’s driving him mad. She has to be a shifter…

…Right?

Welcome to Cub Camp. It’s going to be one wild summer…

Authors note: Buck first appeared in Fire & Rescue Shifters: Wildfire Crew, but you do not need to have read that series to enjoy this book. But if you have read the Wildfire series, you’ll see some familiar faces at camp…

I thought my forties were gonna bite. But not quite like this.

My divorce from my controlling ex was final, but I had one last thing to check off on my list: Covering the tattoo of his name branded on my inner hip.

For comfort, I’d made an appointment with a fellow female, but she was overbooked and referred me to her colleague— Her ripped, gorgeous, very male colleague.

My skin flushed thinking of him working so close to an intimate spot, but Brody was a complete professional— Both during the appointment and between my sheets days later.

He even made an appointment at my dental office, just as an excuse to see me again.  But as I floss his teeth and one suddenly pierces my glove, I learn there’s another side of him: A wolf, simmering just beneath his tattooed skin.

Even crazier?  He tells me I’m now going to become one myself.  As in, a forty-year-old wolf lady.

Midlife crisis suddenly has a whole new meaning.

Forbidden Midlife Mate by Meg Ripley

Posted January 5, 2023 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

When my husband ran off with our saloon’s hostess, I packed my bags and left Montana, joining my college-aged son in Oregon.

Eugene’s a far cry from my little hometown, but I’m doing my best to blend in with the locals.  I grabbed my new fitness tracker and headed out for a jog.  Deep into the trail, I thought I stumbled upon some hippies until they changed into wolves.  And the moment I screamed, they set their sights on me.  I ran for my life until my clumsy ass tripped and blacked out.

Now I’m waking up on a handsome stranger’s couch, with no recollection of what I’d just seen.  Rex is intimidating and a little rough around the edges.  But something about him sets me on fire.  And when I land a job, and he ends up being my boss, he awakens something deep inside me, and it’s not just another hot flash.

Too bad Rex is the only one who wants me around.  My coworkers at the rock club have it in for me, and when they threaten me after work one night, a nightmare comes to life before my very eyes.  In mere seconds, they shift from men to snarling wolves.

But I realize that nightmare is just beginning when I look down at my trembling hands… and see snow-white paws instead.

Cursed Midlife Bear by Meg Ripley

Posted September 24, 2022 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series, Shifters & Magic / 0 Comments

When I turned 40, getting divorced was nowhere on my radar.
Neither was getting pregnant with a cursed bear shifter’s baby.

Have a divorce party, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
It was until I ended up in handcuffs.
A group of Karens rained on my parade at the winery
And in my drunken haze, I mooned every last one of them—
Along with the responding officer called in to arrest my ass.
Not a good look for a teacher starting off in a new little town.
When he cuffed me, I stumbled into his rock-hard body,
But he softened up once he brought me down to the station,
Taking pity on me and caring for me throughout the night.
The charges were dropped the next morning,
So he gave me a ride home, and I offered him breakfast.
But Landon was hungry for me and jumped right to dessert.
Fast forward to now, when I find out I’m pregnant at 40,
But the fun doesn’t end there.
Apparently, Landon’s part bear.
Oh, and his family? Yeah, they’ve been cursed for generations.
Now my unborn child could turn out to be a feral beast—
Just like Landon’s brother, who’s now on the hunt for me.
