Shifter
Tamara Rose Blodgett
The Complete BBW Ménage Dark Romance Serial 1-6 SAC 1 Talyn Phisher is a counselor in a world that has been turned on its ear by an unthinkable discovery: vampires roam among humans. If all this upheaval was not enough, Talyn's body is changing. Signs that something is seriously wrong plague her. Having been told she's barren and there's no hope—Talyn still longs for a family of her own, though the stories she hears from clients tell her happiness is a long shot. Talyn wants that shot. She yearns for a man who will put her first—for who she is. Until a stalker's pursuit threatens everything close to Talyn's heart. When Talyn feels her life is in imminent danger, she reaches out in desperation to the Final Enforcement, an elite, fringe group of the police who do more than take the law into their own hands. Only to discover Talyn isn't what she thinks she is. And neither is the one who stalks her. SAC 2 Who can Talyn trust? Certainly not those she thought. As the evidence mounts that something is seriously wrong, Talyn gains strength from the sameness of her life. Only to have it shattered when a seemingly innocent come-on turns out to be the beginning of the end of the life she knows. When the local police disregard the facts, Talyn receives unconventional assistance in the form of Enforcer Narah Adrienne. Until she finds that there is no assisting what plagues her, and that she's more sought after than she could have ever imagined.... SAC 3 Talyn finds herself in a compromised position—literally. Having escaped the supernatural battle raging inside her house, she falls into the wrong set of arms, and soon finds herself alone in a prison constructed of Mutables; a group of shifters that can change into virtually any animal. They too, have a limited female population. Talyn doesn't care. She refuses to become the Lycan Merck and Arden insist she'll become, though her beast is clawing to escape. But a revelation about her lineage makes becoming a Lycan a surety, rather than a choice. The question that haunts Talyn is: who will transition her? Friend, foe—or lover? SAC 4 Talyn wakes to find that she's not with who she started with, and tragedy dogs her every step of the way. Narah works to secure her safety while Mutables make a bid to have her. Can Merck claim her before it's too late? Or will Drake find a way to insert his dominance above all. SAC 5 Talyn's been accidentally poisoned with dragon's blood. Can she allow the cure? While Drake and Merck fight over Talyn, Mutables move toward her like a magnet, seeking her for what she offers them. Will Enforcer Adrienne be able to protect Talyn from a predator who is not what he seems? SAC 6 Talyn escapes the Mutables to an enforcer safe house, and must decide between Merck and Drake—or does she? Half a claim will not be enough to protect her from the Mutable who want to use her to strengthen their shifts. Can she allow a full claim and what it will mean for her future? Or will her bid for freedom cost her more than she realizes? Shifter is

Protected By the Mountain Wolf (Mountain Wolf Protectors #1)
Amara's life changed the moment she was attacked by a group of wolves. She was only 15 at the time, who could blame her for ignoring her grandfather's warnings? She quickly began to believe all those stories he told her about the wolves who protected their town, Strathford. The wolves who could turn into humans. Shifters, as she learned they were called.
Ten years had passed since then, and Nova still couldn't forgive himself for letting the Valley Clan slip into their territory unnoticed. If only he had been there in time. Since that day, he made a vow to himself to protect her, no matter what happens. Though he didn't personally know Amara, he felt a connection to her after watching over her all these years. With his curiosity growing each day, he finally decided to visit her at work. He'd talk to her for an hour, settle his curiosity and then never speak to her again. Or so he thought...
Adored by the Mountain Wolf (Mountain Wolf Protectors #2)
Two weeks after she started living on the Compound - the home of the Mountain Wolves - Amara was getting anxious to return to her life. She had a job, friends and family to return to. Not only that, she had to make sure her sister was safe from her psychopath boyfriend, Kal. If only she could tell Sadie the truth, that he was the wolf shifter who wreaked havoc on Strathford for all these years.
As much as he wanted to protect her, Nova knew that he couldn't keep Amara from her life forever. He and the Mountain Wolves have been vigilant in the fight against the Valley Clan, but they begin to lose their footing as the attacks increase in frequency. When Nova is reminded he has to protect his pack he has no choice but to bring Amara with him, for her safety.
Mated to the Mountain Wolf (Mountain Wolf Protectors #3)
Weeks after the war between the Mountain and Valley clans ended, resulting in Kal's capture, things were finally starting to get back to normal for Amara. Well, as normal as they could be in preparation to marry a wolf shifter. Before Nova and Amara they could officially be considered mates, there were a series of trials that needed to be passed. And if she were honest, the thought of failing scared her more than anything. To make matters worse, her secret admirer just began to tip the scale from flattery to all out stalker.
Even after Kal was captured, and the horrors Amara had faced in her life were over, she still wasn't completely safe. And that's what angered Nova the most. He just had to work that much harder at protecting her.
