A successful florist, she really doesn’t need a man getting in the way of growing her business. Life is hard enough without heartbreak. But when her childhood sweetheart, Caleb, walks into her store, Shelby’s world is thrown into turmoil. If Caleb thinks she’ll take him back, he can forget it. Just because he’s got muscles to die for and a brooding jawline to match doesn’t mean she’s going to fall into his arms again, not after he shattered her heart into a million pieces. Shelby needs answers she isn’t sure Caleb can give. Why did he walk out on her all those years ago? Why’s he decided to come back now? And can she ever forgive him? Falling in love with Caleb was the worst mistake of her life. One thing’s for sure. She’s never going to make the same mistake twice, no matter how persuasive Caleb is.

Shifter Night Box Set: Complete Set
Charlene Hartnady - 2019
Sometimes, when they’re lucky enough, it’s to find a mate…a sweet, human mate…since shifter females are in such short supply. Untethered Winston wishes it was his turn to find a partner because he’s done with all the screwing around. Done with all the meaningless one-night-stands. He might head into town, when it’s his turn, but he’s staying far away from temptation. He’ll wait until his name comes up on the mating list and then he’ll settle down. His good intentions are blown to hell when he meets Ana, a timid female struggling with an event from her past. Who is this beautiful creature? This broken, sad shadow of herself. Winston promises to help her. Hell, they’ll help each other. He might have vowed celibacy but he’s not dead. Not by a long damn shot. This way, he can spend time with a beautiful female without any expectations and in return, he’ll help her get over her fears. Problem is though, friends should not be this attracted to one another. They definitely shouldn’t be this intrigued by each other. Keeping his hands off of her is becoming an impossibility. Will he be able to let her go when the time comes? Thing is, he’s not so sure anymore. Unbound It all started with a dare. One little dare. Just a string of silly words that landed Alice smack bang in the middle of the ‘Dark Horse’ bar surrounded by utter chaos. Like most pick-up joints, the place is a meat market, but on steroids. The guys aren’t just simply guys, they’re shifters. Taller, bigger…hot damn…talk about jaw on the floor gorgeous. She can’t help but stare, back pressed against the wall, eyes wide, blood coursing just a little faster through her veins. That’s when he arrives. Impossibly big and brooding, seeming to look right through her with those dark eyes. She’s so tempted to leave with him, to let him make good on all of those dirty promises. Problem is, he’s just so annoyingly arrogant. Why does she feel like she’s punishing herself when she walks out…alone? Ash watches in shock as the human turns and leaves. No female has ever turned him down. Not. Ever. He can scent that she wants him, so why is she denying her basic needs? Try as he might, he can’t stop thinking about her…about what she would look like under him. Cheeks flushed, eyes glassy, biting down on her lip as she… Ash decides that he has to have her. She’s awakened the hunter in him and he knows just where to find her. Just one time - he’ll give her exactly what she needs - and then he’ll be out of her life forever. He’s not looking for a mate, definitely not looking for love. Unfortunately, he’s about to find out that just once with this particular female might not be enough. Unchained Long ago Gage failed at love. He recently failed the human female he'd been assigned to protect. Now, the Alphas have clearly lost their ever-loving minds because they’ve given him the same duty a second time. Well, he isn’t going to take the mission. He’ll bring the human to the village, as instructed, and then she’ll become someone else’s problem.
