Ejected from the palace with only a handful of coins, the prince suddenly finds himself a pauper. He must experience some of life’s harsher realities, say the king and queen, if he’s to become the leader the Seelie people need. Across the fields his royal subject, Darby, knows all about harsh realities... After losing her parents at thirteen the young farmer has had little time for royals or gossip. A good day means a warm hearth and full bowl. Anything else is a luxury. But things are finally improving and for the first time ever, winter’s approach isn’t quite so bleak. Until she discovers a large, rumpled heap sleeping in her barn… The thing—whatever it is—stinks worse than her animals (and sounds just as ornery) but questionable hygiene is the least of Darby’s concerns. The seasons are turning, and darkness is gathering at the edges of the Seelie Kingdom. More than ever, the people need a hero they can count on, but it seems that man is nowhere to be seen.

    And Tor already had her inside before he remembered what she was going to see.His brother and sister had frozen in mid-argument, both with handfuls of their dad's fur as they tried to tug him back to wakefulness or at least out of the kitchen."Is that ...?" Bernie began. She blinked and rubbed her eyes.It was possible to pass off a werewolf as a dog, but there was absolutely no mistaking a polar bear for anything else.There was a polar bear lying in the middle of the kitchen. A very large, very shaggy bear. And Tor's brother and sister were both frozen in the act of trying to pick it up."Oh, hi!" Inga said, very brightly. She dropped her double handful of Stieg's ruff, allowing his head to clunk to the floor—his tongue was lolling out now—and strode forward with a hand held out. There were long white strands of polar bear fur all over her shirt. "You must be Tor's mate—uh—friend! Hi! I'm Tor's sister. I'm Inga. What's your name?"Bernie kept trying to peer around her, where Eren had given up trying to shake the bear awake and instead delivered a swift kick to his backside. The bear grunted, rolled over, and started snoring."I, uh, I'm Bernie," said Bernie. "Is your—um—is your bear all right?""He's drunk," Eren said darkly.Tor could have pushed him through the trap door at that moment."Your ... bear is drunk," Bernie said.Compared to this, even trying to deal with a demon cat destroying her curtains, her backseat, and everything else she owned seemed halfway normal.Jump into a brand new series from Zoe Chant, featuring a beautiful, magical shifter town, a sexy, protective hero with a chaotic polar bear family, a tough heroine picking up the pieces of her shattered heart, a maybe-haunted lighthouse ... and a cat only his owner could love.

    Ward's, Black Dagger Brotherhood, you'll love this series. Complex characters, romance and action." —Amazon ReviewerKyrdavian Ru has a helluva lot on his plate. As leader of the Vampire Defense Agency’s elite ground team, he’s got the demon threat to contend with on a nightly basis—but that’s nothing new. Even enduring the hateful machinations of his (sort of) stepmother, queen of the vampire race, barely breaks his stride. But a traitor at the VDA betraying vampire females into the hands of a demon lord? Now that’s a problem.Jodari Os, Director of the VDA, wants to know what the hell is wrong with Kyr and his ground team. They’ve never been warm and fuzzy, but something’s turned them downright hostile. And since Kyr isn’t exactly an open book, getting answers might just require rather…drastic measures.Mira Jensen doesn’t know why she’s been called in to do psych evals on five vampire warriors, but she owes Director Os a favor. He did, after all, save her life when a long-ago incident awakened her dormant vampire genes, thrusting her into a world she could never have imagined. She’s made her peace with it. Kind of. Mostly. She gets by, in any case—until a standard psych eval takes a very personal turn.Kyr and Mira both have plenty of reasons not to act on their attraction. Trust. Control. A teensy bit of baggage. But some things are worth baring your throat for…Previously released as Passion Awakened.
