Pine Hollow Security


Clara Kendrick - 2018
    Kindle Unlimited. Under the shadow of Glastenbury Mountain and the cover of night, the bad boy wolf shifters of PH Security get their real work done – keeping Pine Hollow safe and blissfully ignorant of the supernatural threats to their town. Book One After getting mugged out jogging, Avery Meredith is more baffled than frightened. None of it adds up. Why would anyone be after her? Even more mystifying, she was rescued by none other than Rowan Winter. The strapping, beautiful and brooding man who usually pretends she doesn’t exist. But PHS insists on assigning Rowan to watch over her on their dime. It should be a cinch for him: former juvenile delinquent, ex-Marine and over six feet of tatted steel. But Rowan has tried to stay far, far away from Avery ever since she moved to town. Now, he has to live with her, the curvy armful who sometimes shows up in his dreams. Book Two If there is one thing Nolan Locke and Tori Mederos are good at, it’s avoiding each other. What they can’t avoid are the questions. Ten years of them. The town of Pine Hollow has to know what broke apart these two former best friends. Yet neither of them will even acknowledge it. But when Tori is thrust into paranormal, Pine Hollow patented danger, and Nolan is assigned as her security shifter – the two will be forced to face the past in order to save their future. The mountain is restless, shifters are missing, and the spooks are spooked. Book Three It was bad enough for Jayce Tursi, stud shifter of Pine Hollow security, that he got lost in the Parallel for weeks. But now that he’s back on his feet, he’s stuck training rookies? Good thing Jayce knows how to pin a smile on his face and fool the world. It’s not fooling Melita Mederos, though. The PHS rookie has a thing for popular Jayce, who doesn’t even know her name. Melita is determined to change that until everything goes wrong. Book Four Em Tajima has always preferred a ghost story to a love story. Until she moves to Pine Hollow, Vermont and finds more than she bargained for. Ghost towns, shadow figures out of the corner of her eye, and a connection to a hidden past. Plus, the secretive and stubborn shifter who decides to keep an eye on her for her own good. Now Em can’t shake her Pine Hollow Security (self-appointed) bodyguard. Or the sense that he might be right. Even though he’s supposed to being laying low, Wyatt can’t figure out whether the new girl is in trouble or is trouble. Either way, he’ll find out. No matter what rules he has to break. Book Five If Lee Stone had been honest with himself, none of this would have happened. Also, if Bryn Santos had been a professional, poised and sophisticated social worker, instead of being a hot and smitten mess, none of this would have happened. She wouldn’t have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. She wouldn’t have become the pivotal witness in a small-town murder mystery. And she wouldn’t have ended up under Lee’s protection. Lee, her client, and the serious, stern, and sexy-as-hell bodyguard.

The Only Fish in the Sea


Elizabeth Gannon - 2014
    The son of Neptune and a mortal woman, he’s spent millennia as an outcast of both worlds. As king of the ocean, all Julian wants to do is protect the denizens deep and drown the humans for their crimes against sea creatures. He doesn’t care about the Consortium of Chaos’s new jobs as “heroes.” He still hates everyone, which is kinda unfortunate since he’s just become the one person responsible for keeping the world safe. He’d probably just ignore the human’s plight and go for a swim, except the beautiful woman he’s been searching for for years has shown up to help fix his “image problems.” Which means Julian might have to actually pretend to be a hero, after all. Bridget: Bridget is a public relations specialist. Kind of. She’s not exactly at the top of her field, but she’s giving it her best shot. The curvy, average, dateless human is going to help Julian and his bizarre group of semi-insane, super-powered friends reach their full potential as heroes. And not JUST because he’s the handsomest man she’s ever seen. Years ago, Julian saved her life. In an age where good guys and bad guys seem way too much alike, Julian is the only person she’s ever seen act heroically. He can do anything. He just needs to believe that. …And stop telling all the humans that he’s going to conquer the planet. …And maybe not worry so much about seafood restaurants murdering his underwater subjects. …And actually pay attention to all the people trying to take over the city. New enemies are rising and nearly everyone else in the Consortium is MIA. Now, it’s up to Julian and the Consortium members who are too old, weird, evil, or headless to be invited on the REAL missions to save the city. Except they suck at it. Humans are whining about the death-toll, the Consortiums screw-ups are all over the news, and their evil garage sale isn’t helping to pay the bills. Bridget’s going to fix all that. She’s determined to make the world see them for the heroes they are. Julian’s certainly willing to go along with her ideas, no matter how many public appearances he has to make at elementary schools and shopping malls. He knows he’s a villain and he couldn’t care less about what the rest of humanity thinks, but he sure loves the idea of being a hero to Bridget.

Big Bear Country: Complete Trilogy


Harper Maguire - 2019
     Part One: Bear Claws Megan-Bar fights are like bread and butter to a local doctor. I’m used to sutures and ice packs. Lately though, things have taken a turn for the worse. The Lamberts and the Skinners are out for blood and nobody will say exactly why. I’ve always liked the Lamberts. Especially Grady. He might be the best looking man in town, but he’s also the quietest. I just wish he would explain to me what’s going on. Grady-There’s nothing worse than a private war. When the war is between shifter clans it gets even worse. And bloodier. The Skinners don’t seem to care about the humans caught in the crossfire. I don’t feel the same way at all. Doc Megan isn’t a dummy. She can see there’s something else going on. I’m just worried about what will happen when she realizes that the patients in her clinic aren’t exactly human. Part Two: Bear Necessities Orrin-I’m done letting the local wolf clan prey upon Lambert stock on Lambert property. We’ve been fighting this petty little range war for months now and it’s going nowhere fast. If only our local sheriff was just a little bit tougher, something might actually happen. Unfortunately for the population of Cat’s Eye, Sheriff Bliss Wilkerson is more eye candy than law maker. Bliss- I’ve about had it with the idiots saying I’m not tough enough to take on the Skinners. Maybe if the Lamberts would stop starting trouble and then running back to their ranch I could make some actual progress. Orrin Lambert might be the best looking man in the area, but I’m not exactly sure he’s got what it takes to come down off that mountain of his and stand with the rest of us. Besides, there’s something different about those Lamberts, something I can’t put my finger on. Part Three: Bearing Witness Emmaline-There are no easy answers in my world. I’ve been brought up by a pack of wolves. Literally. My family is nothing but a bunch of quarrelsome, grasping, rabid wolves. Even worse, I’m expected to marry into the wolf clan like everyone else. I don’t want that. I want more. And somehow, more has started to look an awful lot like Zach Lambert. Zach- I’m tired of this stupid feud. It’s like the first rule of kindergarten. Play nice and get along. But just when I thought I was the only one who felt like that, I met Emmaline. I can’t help but think that Emmaline is the only one who sees the importance of healing Cat’s Eye instead of ripping it apart. The only thing left is to figure out just how a bear and a wolf might fall in love and find happily ever after when we’ve been raised to hate each other.

Aurum Court Dragons


Emilia Hartley - 2020

Book 1 - Ashton Drake Ashton knows he’s in no shape to help anyone. His sanity is hanging by a thread; he’s failing at the job the Drakes sent him to the city to do; and many days he can’t even handle his own dragon. The only time the beast settles is when it sees Makenna, Ashton’s high school sweetheart. The trouble is, Makenna doesn’t seem to want Ashton around. She can’t forget that Ashton left her, and besides she doesn’t have time for an out-of-control Drake, even if she could ever trust him again. Ashton knows what he needs to keep his sanity - he just doesn’t know if he can win Makenna back... Book 2 - Wyatt Drake Wyatt Drake has just broken up with his long-time girlfriend, a woman he’d expected to marry, and a relationship is the last thing he wants. But his dragon is sniffing around a tourist in his hometown—a tourist who discovers more about him in days than his girlfriend did in years—and who seems to like him despite all that, or maybe even because of it. Still, Wyatt isn’t sure he’s ready for another relationship. He doesn’t want a one-night-stand or a short-term rebound girl. He’s looking for commitment. And what kind of stability can he get from a travelling food-blogger he just met? Book 3 - Ryker Drake Mina has always known her place in the dragon hierarchy of Grove—at the bottom. Her king’s court is so far out of her league that she feels like she’s intruding even when she comes to work as a maid at Ryker Drake’s house. The attraction she feels for the rock-blasting, nipple-pierced sweetheart she works for is inappropriate on so many levels. But Mina can’t help herself. Part of her wants to keep away from Ryker to protect herself from the inevitable heartbreak when he's done with her. The rest of her wants to grab onto the happiness of being with him. Even if it can’t last. Can it? Book 4 - Griffin Drake Griffin Drake always gets left behind. While his cousins leave Grove to have adventures, he’s stuck babysitting his increasingly distant and crazy cousin, Jasper, the king of the mountain. When his cousins come home to help, they all find mates, one after another. Griffin is left alone, without even a way to meet a mate. He’s always been bad at talking to women. Then he meets Lilah, who is down on her luck and easy to talk to. He offers her a job as his pretend girlfriend, so he won’t have to live through another family get-together as the only un-paired dragon. Suddenly, he’s not behind at all. Lilah moves in, gets along with his family, and lights up his life. He was sure the universe had forgotten about a mate for him, but now he knows Lilah is the one. All he has to do is convince her it’s not all make-believe. Book 5 - Jasper Drake Cora has made a mess of everything. When she ran from the tyrant who claimed her like property, she’d hoped to start a new life, not a dragon war. Now, she’s exhausted in both body and spirit. Her grand plan has led to fires, battles and an unbelievably close mate bond with the scariest dragon she’s ever met.

Peace on Earth isn't what they're good at - but it's coming for them anyhow. Which isn't anything a couple of assassins want for Christmas.
