For one thing, she knows that the alpha bears only seek her out to steal her sealskin and the control of the coastal land around Monterey that goes with it. It sucks to be a selkie. Lia is seriously considering retreating to the ocean and trying to reconnect with the pod she lost as a child, but her adoptive sister Nessa, who moonlights as a matchmaker for shifters convinces her to try hooking up with a guy who might be able to protect her from the alpha bears. But what kind of protection with Miles be? He’s a playboy who can’t stay focused on one woman for more than a day or two. Even worse, he’s another bear. Lia wants to tell Nessa to forget about it. This match is a terrible idea. But Miles sees her in a way the other bears don’t, and Lia’s oddly attracted to him despite his faults. Will giving him a chance be the worst mistake she’s ever made? Or will it be her salvation? Book 2: Ever since her Alpha helped her tame her panther and explore her creativity, Monica has been sure her destiny lies with him.

What she doesn’t love is controlling male foxes who expect perfect homemaker wives. She’s just about given up on ever finding a mate when her friend Nessa, the local matchmaker, suggests she date Oscar Torres. An alpha bear. Regina’s mother would have a conniption just hearing about it. Not that Regina’s sure she wants to hook up with Oscar anyway, seeing how he’s closed-off emotionally. But when he asks for her help to save a wild fox-shifter who has been getting into trouble up north, Regina can’t refuse. And the more time she spends with Oscar, the more she loses her heart. To an emotionally constipated bear her only remaining family is going to hate. There’s no way this ends well—is there? Book 4: Nessa Caldwell has a gift for pairing shifters with their fated mates.
