When it starts to feel like nothing will look up, my best friend Hannah comes to the rescue with a vacation in mind. One that involves leaving the city life of Chicago, for a more secluded one in a small town called White Hemlock in British Columbia, Canada. I thought nothing could bring back my inspiration to write, or my ability to feel so strongly for someone again. That is, until I met him... My name is Bastian Urso. I'm not completely human and my life has been a mess for as long as I can remember. My wife was taken away from me by hunters for being what we are, leaving not only a gaping hole in my heart, but also leaving me to raise our daughter Addylin alone. We left our home in Alaska not long after for this secluded city called White Hemlock for a fresh start. Here, we found the peace we needed to move on with life, Addy being the only thing holding me together. But the pain and bitter loneliness of losing my wife only seemed to get worse with every passing day. That is, until I met her... Two people. Two different worlds. More than two hearts at stake.

Introducing bear shifter Drew Quinn. Bartender and tequila enabler, he’s got trouble written all over him, from his flirty smile all the way down to his tight, muscular ass. Yes, she looked at his ass—he was pouring drinks, okay? No, she wasn’t objectifying him … much. And it’s not like he kept his own eyes to himself. Now, Leigh might be a little shy and socially clueless, but even she knows it doesn’t mean anything. It’s a bartender’s job to flirt with his customers and ply them with drinks. But they’re not at the bar anymore, so why does Drew keep coming back for more? Welcome to Bluebell Creek, home to three bear shifter brothers and their quirky Aunt Tabby (who's never seen a teddy bear she doesn’t want, has a dirty mind, a big heart, and is determined that her nephews are going to find true love.

Greyson - The Complete Serial, Parts 1 - 4


Cali MacKay - 2016
    Now included is a BONUS story- Fobidden, Part 1!*** From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Cali MacKay... From the moment Greyson sets eyes on Juno, he knows her for what she is—his fated mate. There can be no other for him, which poses its own set of problems when he finds her standing over the dead body of a bear shifter from a rival clan. With the dead man’s family seeking revenge, the only way to keep her safe is for them to get married, making her a protected member of his wolf pack—but that’s going to take a whole lot of convincing, especially when Juno looks panicked and ready to bolt. Juno has a massive problem and accidentally killing a man in self-defense is just the start of it. She’s still rattled after finding out about a world she never knew existed, especially when she’s hiding a huge secret of her own. Though Greyson is sexy and sweet, and she could really fall for him, sticking around just isn’t an option, since she’d only be putting him in danger. And marrying him? That’s definitely not a solution to her messed up life. With Juno’s life on the line, can Greyson convince her to take a chance on him, knowing he’ll not only keep her safe but make her happy or will she risk it all to keep him from the curse she has no control over?
