I just didn’t expect it to look anything like this. Apparently, that all sounds like an excuse if you ask Skyler, the omega wolf whose seekerstone says he’s my destined mate. According to him, it wasn’t that I was waiting for love to find me, I’m just a workaholic who couldn’t take the time to look. Before him, it never occurred to me to second guess the long hours, the six day work weeks. There was always one more surgery to perform, one more person for me to try and save. The way I couldn’t save my parents. Focusing on things I can fix is my way of ignoring the things I can’t. So maybe Skyler’s right. Maybe I did bury myself in work so I didn’t have to face that something was missing in my life. But he’s here now, and this thing between us, this chemistry, this heat, there’s no ignoring it. Suddenly I’m painfully aware of everything my life was lacking before he came into it. And I’m terrified of having to live without it again. SKYLER Bernard Rain is an ambitious werewolf alpha doctor. I can almost feel my parents fainting with approval at the mention of his perfection. He’s everything they ever wanted in a mate for me. Hell, he’s everything they ever wanted me to be. It’s enough to make me want to run in the opposite direction. If only this damn stone would let me. It was supposed to make my life easier. To make finding love less of a chore. But its only made my life more complicated. True love is way more work than was advertised. My past before him doesn’t seem to want to leave me alone, and now I’m even messing up being pregnant with my mate’s child. I want the love fate seems to think I can have with this man. I want him. But getting what you want is one thing. Keeping it is another matter entirely… This 50,000 word novel features wolf shifters, mpreg and fated lovers who couldn’t be less alike.

For the Drake family has a secret—one that will force Nate and Alistair together as much as it will demand that they be torn apart.

At thirty-one, he comes home and says “I’m just not feeling it anymore,” then he’s gone… I’ve been replaced. Just. Like. That.I thought I knew what a soul mate is; man did I have no idea.Two years later, I found out.I met him at a concert; he approached me like he’s been waiting his life for me. Little did I know at the time, that was exactly the case. It was a while before I learned that this guy, that I am falling fast for, is a dragon shifter and not only are soul mates real, but he only gets one. And it’s me.Photo Description: A Joe Phillips illustration of two men, one sitting up, one with his head in the other’s lap, asleep against a graffitied wall, with a skateboard beside them. The man sitting up has his fingers in the other man’s hair, as if he’s fallen asleep midcaress.

    (That’s not to say the plot isn’t important, though. I don’t want something that’s complete PWP or Excuse Plot. I’d like something that has a rather light tone overall, but still has depth and something meaningful to it. Elements of darkness are okay and, in fact, may even be encouraged, as my profile would attest to. I just don’t want it to turn out to be a darkfic.)I just want adorable cat-shifter-kitty-petting/cuddling. Maybe the shifter retains some cat-like characteristics even when human/in his human form. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a housecat. It could be a big cat of some sort. Just, you know, with petting and cuddling and adorableness (in human and cat forms if you can fit it). And maybe some playing with the tail (not tail sex. just playing with the tail).Photo Description: Two men, both with short, dark hair, lie together on a striped sofa or daybed.
