While he was out, he paid visits to his usual contacts that were aware of dealings and goings on of the underground scene. Most of them were shifters, so they were able to clue him in on persons of interest involved that were shifters as well. One particular contact, who w...
It was easy to tell who was who. Beau’s lion was larger, more golden, with flashes of light golds throughout. He was beautiful… and somehow familiar. She didn’t know how, though… Rick’s lion was a dark toffee color with streaks of black, like his hair. His posture was menacing, where Beau looked ...
She hadn’t been able to reach Bill to apologize, and she had no idea if he was going to sue the shelter, which would be a total disaster for everyone involved. She also hated she’d gone off on Luc. True, he’d hurt her feelings, but he hadn’t meant to, and she could have ad...
Perhaps he was just being an overeager grandpa. Perhaps he’d been feeling a little lonely. Perhaps he just thought he’d handled and raised three rambunctious boys, and he forgot they were all more than a year apart in age. Perhaps he’d forgotten all four were precocious, p...
Luckily, when she’d been storming out of the office, Ruby, Shane’s wife, had been making her way up the stairs for something and was happy to show Valerie to a room. She didn’t want to stay here, but if she had to, she wouldn’t mind getting to know these girls. Ruby had lo...
Mark was always so straitlaced, so tightly wound, so responsible. Not right now, as he sat in Bronson’s office, still wearing clothes like Hercules, his booted feet propped on Bronson’s desk, getting dirt everywhere. There were bottles on the ground...
He’d spent the past few days getting to know Mac and Kat and doing fun things with them. It was fun to take Mac bowling and see him struggle with even the littlest bowling ball. It was fun to see Katrina be pretty good, while Ares himself could only bowl really powerful gu...
“Roxy. Roxy, can you hear me?” his voice sounded weak, pained, and when she blinked and opened her eyes, she was shocked by how pale he was. She looked to his arm, where his robe was torn, and saw a nasty bite with green and purple around it, like toxic veins. “Oh no,” she...
Or a roadside bar, which was close enough. Alistair’s mood had been driving her nuts anyway. He’d been quiet, which was unlike him, and now that she thought about it, he’d been acting weird and distant ever since they’d had sex. Sure, it had been th...
The moon was rising and would be full tonight, which was oddly romantic. He wanted to be in the moonlight with her. He doubted either of them was thinking of this as a fake courtship anymore. As his lion chased hers in the dark, he was pretty sure w...
Kim asked, cocking her head as she stared at Leah’s welcome packet. “No,” Leah said flatly, holding the invite with shaking hands, wondering how anyone could have been so wrong about her. Just who told someone her interests included scuba, free diving or boat rides? She fo...
She’d been wanting him last night. Heck, after the kiss. And then watching him all day, spreading his luscious body all over different sofas, seeing the saleswoman go gaga over him, seeing him smile at Faye when he didn’t think she was watching. Ugh, it was enough to drive...
He’d been given a room on the second story, and he’d left the window open to take advantage of the cool breeze. The curtains were swaying, and at first, he didn’t know what was going on. He pulled at the sheet, making sure it was up around his waist, and then tuned into the stillness of the room ...
Cage asked, looking serious. “Yeah,” Bronson said, getting angry just at the thought of it. “Really trashed. In a personal way, too, you know? Like, stuff everywhere, underwear cut up.” He leaned back on his chair and ran his hands through his hair in exasperation. “Had ev...
Yelling came from inside, and then Leslie saw her attacker, pushed bodily out of the restroom where he’d been hiding by Riley, who was holding him up with one hand grasping his collar. Ben’s feet scraped the ground as he struggled to get loose, and Riley simply slammed the man against the wall, h...
Carrie called, lifting a low-hanging branch in front of her. She scanned the dark forest and then took out her phone and turned on the flashlight function so she could search more thoroughly. She heard a low growl and the rustle of leaves and the sound of something large m...
She moaned and nearly sagged in his arms, but he put an arm around her, holding her up completely as his hand came down between them. She gasped as he covered her between her legs, right over her soft pajamas. She looked up at him and saw searing heat in his bright-green e...
The room went silent and then became filled with murmurs as everyone in the room watched them. Drake’s eyes flicked immediately to Tara, still held by the group of wyverns, and he let out a roar as he rushed forward. “Ah, ah, ah,” a voice said as a ...
Make love to her but don’t love her. Protect her but don’t claim her. He’d given the possessive animal inside him so many mixed messages when it came to Amy. But she was right. It was better to have some of something good than nothing good at all. H...
It felt like it had only been minutes ago that Perry had explicitly warned Lexie of this happening and had advised her against this for her own good. At the time, he had assumed it was best for everyone around, especially Lexie, to protect her feelings, in spite of the attraction they shared. An...
Especially because it basically gives him free reign to punch me in the face, when in reality I would prefer to be doing that to him instead. He’s starting to wear down as well though. I’m sure this match has lasted longer than he anticipated, and it’s probably the most fi...
Sebastien had said he had some things to take care of before he could come join her and she should go take a nap. Hopefully, because he intended to tire her out all over again. Her mouth watered and her legs clenched at the prospect of her hot pirate taking control all ove...
Something had woken him. A scream. Had he imagined it? He leaned forward, listening keenly in the direction of Janna’s room. Another scream rang out, and he ran off the couch, dragging his blanket with him, and strode to her door. He knocked hurriedly, and when she didn’t ...
She was sitting on the porch outside the main lodge, enjoying the cool mountain breeze on her face as she rocked on the two-person swing. Maverick had headed out earlier on horseback, and no one knew when he’d be back. A small, sick feeling of guilt...
As they waited for the police to get up to their floor, Jace and Carter both explained the shifter world to Amber, who simply listened and nodded, dazed but at least understanding the premise and why secrecy was so critical. If Jace had been only human, he was sure all of ...
Draven’s blue eyes met hers, and for a moment, she swore she saw his irises change from blue to red and then back again like the flickering of a shutter. She put a hand up to brush lightly through Draven’s hair and saw his expression tighten slightly as his eyes narrowed o...
It was dark and lonely, as usual, filled with a musty sense of loss that set the perfect atmosphere for what his life had become. He set his bags down at the front door and kicked it shut behind him. It slammed with a finality that resonated through the space. ...
