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.

Wolf Shield Investigations: A Paranormal Romance Boxset


Dee Bridgnorth - 2019
    It seems Kara is intent on making sure he fails to protect her from the faceless threat looming over the family’s East Hampton home. Long-held family secrets threaten to end lives while Jace falls deeper and deeper under the spell of the beautiful, brave girl he’s been tasked with protecting. But falling in love means taking the risk of revealing the reason why he and his team have been in hiding ever since their return from war. PART II Serenity Starr’s life in the Hollywood Hills is the stuff of dreams. She’s made millions from her popular videos and endorsements, she rubs elbows with celebrities on the regular, and now she has the chance to break into acting with a role in a big-budget movie. The last thing she needs is a stalker intent on destroying everything she’s built. Braxton is hardly impressed with Serenity when they meet—especially since taking her case means cutting short a much-needed vacation. Before long, though, her work ethic and the down-to-earth personality she hides from her fans begin to win him over, while her beauty drives his wolf wild. Just in time for her stalker to turn murderous. PART III Marnie’s life has taken a strange turn, to put it mildly. Overnight, she’s gone from CEO of a small but successful company to the victim of an assassination attempt. She would not be the first person from her company to die—in fact, she’s lost two employees in as many weeks to strange accidents. She was supposed to be next. Why? She doesn’t know, but she suspects it has to do with the top-secret project her company took on for a government-based group. A group with ties to the people who’ve kept Wolf Shield’s agents in hiding for years. PART IV Zane can’t understand why this heartless killer is in their midst, not even when she offers information on the shadowy figures for whom she carried out missions. It’s not until both their lives are in danger that he understands the rules of the game have completely changed. Now, rather than putting up with this insufferable murderer, he’s tasked with keeping her alive—and soon, it becomes more than professional duty driving him to do so. PART V When Logan founded Wolf Shield Investigations, it was with his pack in mind, the men who were turned into wolf shifters thanks to a top-secret experiment on wounded soldiers. Over the years, he’s built his business into something to be proud of—especially when it comes to protecting the confidential information in the company’s network. It only took one intrepid hacker to ruin everything. A hacker who’s been testing the group’s abilities for months, going so far as to plant files for them to find. When this thorn in his side reaches out for a meeting, Logan has no choice but to accept and finally come face-to-face with his nemesis… who happens to be a charming, clever young woman who reminds him of his horrid past.
