Rules of Mating


Nia K. Foxx - 2012
    A pretty tall order for someone deemed a regular human in a town of shifters. Still, in spite of her minor “defect” she managed to hold her own. As an adult she applied that same tenacity, which saw her through childhood, to her medical practice while trying to keep sane. Lately her thoughts have been filled with the town’s newest resident who seems more eager to be away from her rather than share the same air space.The little town of Haven was exactly what he needed. Seth Riddick was done with the big city, and the stream of crime that consumed his life as a Special Forces detective. He longed for the simplicity of the thriving shifter town where he could be true to himself and enjoy a frequent hunt without fear of being tranqed – that really pissed him off. Haven was definitely a paradise for a lone wolf like him. But even paradise has its complications and for Seth it comes equipped with a stethoscope and enough determination to have him questioning his bachelor status.It isn’t long before the lines become blurred of who’s chasing whom.
