Rhett Lundthal’s job to make sure shifter-human relations are running smoothly in his small town. But he’s having trouble keeping the peace now that a prank has turned his life upside down. 

Someone has put his picture up on an online dating app without his permission. Now, even though he isn’t looking for a mate, human women are turning up left and right for dates. Things get even more complicated when one of the women is attacked by an out of control shifter coming to meet him. 

Joseline Herza is over the moon when she matches with a tall, dark, and handsome as hell shifter on a dating app. She’d always wanted to go on a date with a shifter and now her dream is coming true. But instead of a night of fun, she’s almost killed by a shifter on her way to her date. 

Some of the town shifters are nervous after the attack. If word gets out that a human was almost killed by one of them, it would be disastrous for the town. When her life is threatened, Rhett steps in to protect Joseline. 

As he tries to keep Joseline from danger, the town’s shifter-human relations aren’t the only one Rhett has to worry about. Now that it’s met her, his animal won’t be letting go of the beautiful human without a fight. Rhett is going to have to make an impossible choice. Which is more important, the safety of his entire town or the beautiful human he’s falling in love with?

This is an adult, 18+ story with strong language, possible violence and sexual situations geared toward an adult audience.

To Catch A Werewolf by Keira Blackwood & Eva Knight

Posted June 4, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Werewolves don’t exist. 
But that won’t stop me from claiming the bounty.

Gemma

One last mission, one last score—that’s all it’ll take to pay for my brother’s surgery. If I didn’t need the money, would I take the case anyway? Yup. Nothing compares to the thrill of the hunt. 

I don’t do partners, and I’m not sharing the bounty. It’s mine. That doesn’t mean I’ll shy away from a little friendly competition. We can make it even friendlier if that competition is built like a god and wrapped up like a present in a perfectly-fitted suit.

Sebastian

Forget field missions. Leave me to test DNA in my lab, and I’m content. I don’t want to investigate the recent wolf attacks or have anything at all to do with the sleepy town of Wakeforest—until I catch her scent. 

She smells like sweet gardenias. It’s a stark contrast to her fiery red curls, not to mention she has curves for days. Before I learn her name, I know without question that this woman is trouble—and she’s my mate.

This title is an adult, 18+ story that may contain strong language, violence, and sexual situations geared toward an adult audience.

Doggy Defender Bear by Harmony Raines

Posted May 21, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

He wants a mate. She needs a doggy defender! 

Loving and affectionate. It’s a pity Jane is talking about Boomer, an adorable dog, and not Guy’s adorable bear. 
Don’t tell Guy’s bear he called him adorable or there might be trouble 

Or more trouble, since Guy is being hired to protect Boomer from an attempted dognapping. 

But events take a turn for the unusual when Jane asks for a doggy defender for Boomer, who has inherited the estate of his deceased mistress. 

Guy immediately realizes Jane is his mate. However, things are not exactly what they seem, and events quickly escalate. 

Bad kitty! 

Handling the dognapping is child’s play for Guy and soon he is free to enjoy his future with Jane. But fate isn’t done with surprises for these two fated mates. A trip to the local animal shelter gives them much more than another dog who needs a home. 

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

Sora Burge doesn’t have any fight in her anymore. After breaking the most important shifter law, she knows her fate is in the Tarian Pride’s hands. She’s counting down to the trial, but something is coming for her. Something she never thought possible. When Ford Owens, the man she used to love, shows up, she can’t believe what he’s become. Something killed the human in him, and now he’s a terrifying monster who will take on the entire Tarian Pride to keep her safe. But how safe is she, really? Because Ford doesn’t have any control over the animal he’s become. 

Ford Owens had carved out a stable life in the mountains away from everyone. Work, eat, sleep, Change, Change, Change, hunt. But when a call from his past comes back to haunt him, he’ll have to venture out of his mountains and to the aid of a lioness he used to know. He’s not the man he was. In fact, he’s not a man at all anymore. And that first terrified look on Sora’s face says she knows he’s unsalvageable now. But if his mistakes are to mean anything, it has to be to help the girl he used to love.

Max by Terry Bolryder

Huge, gorgeous Max Chase isn’t looking for female attention, but the grumpy lion shifter sure gets a lot of it. As the bouncer for Club Crimson, an exclusive club filled with beautiful men, he uses his patented glare to keep everyone at arm’s length. That is until a kind, curvy woman makes Max reconsider everything he thought about humans, as the lion inside him growls for his mate. 

Jackie Moore doesn’t know why she let her coworkers drag her out to Club Crimson. She’d rather stay home with a book than meet strange men, no matter how hot they are. But all that changes when a disastrous night leads Jackie to a helpless, small creature who needs her, and a gruff, terrifying, beautiful bouncer who might just be more than he seems.

The more time Max spends with Jackie, the more the possessive lion shifter longs to claim her as his mate. But first Max needs to tell her the truth about himself and Club Crimson, and with danger quickly approaching, he can’t afford to wait.

This is an adult 18+ story that contains language, possible violence and sexual situations geared to an adult audience.
