Brooklyn
Avery Gale - 2018
Contains language and actions some may find offensive. Contains sexually explicit content. Brooklyn is the first book in a new Avery Gale series featuring ten siblings. The Adlers will introduce a new cast of characters while bringing back some of your favorites from Ms. Gale’s other best-selling series. If you loved The ShadowDance Club, Club Isola, The Morgan Brothers, Mountain Mastery, and Masters of the Prairie Winds Club you’re going to love The Adlers. Brooklyn Adler is a retrieval expert specializing in the return of stolen treasures to their rightful owners. She’s the darling of large insurance companies around the world and the bane of local and international law enforcement agencies. Walking the fine line between hero and thief was always the perfect fix for the pint-sized adrenaline junkie, but after years of working twenty-four seven, she’s tired. Burning the candle at both ends for weeks, Brooklyn resolves to push through one more big money retrieval before taking the break she’d been promising herself for far too long. With the ancient Egyptian amulet tucked safely in her pocket, Brooklyn is on her way out of Emilio Mendoza’s compound when all hell breaks loose—luckily, she’d inadvertently called in the Calvary. Her soul had reached out to the one man who could hear all she’d never been able to say. Luke Grayson fell in love with Brooklyn Adler their freshman year at MIT. They’d become best friends and she’d consistently refused his advances because she hadn’t wanted to risk ruining their friendship. As an empath he’d always known how she really felt, but over the last few months he’s sensed the shift in her thinking and knew the time for waiting was over. Their connection, strong enough he could feel her exhaustion layered beneath her determination to finish one last retrieval, was what had summoned him to the east coast. When things go to hell, he’s waiting in the wings to whisk her away from the small island, but can he keep her safe long enough to prove how perfect they could be together? Or has she finally made an enemy strong enough to pull her into the depths of hell with him?

Tor
Zoe Chant - 2022
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.
