Shifting has its perks. Rina has yet to experience even one of them. But that won’t keep her from trying. Lion Shifter is the second book in an exciting new magic-filled urban fantasy, starring a girl with lots of moxie, fine brawny shifters, BFFs with questionable morals, and pygmy trolls in need of an attitude adjustment.

When one of their own, Griffin, is seemingly obliterated in a fiery explosion, high school seniors Joss, Hunt, Layla, and Brady are suddenly desperate to find out exactly how immortal they really are. For Joss, living without Griffin—whom she's always loved—isn't an option. But while she and her friends have learned they possess powers other than the ability to regenerate, they don't yet know what they are. And they've already put a lot of rough miles on their bodies . . .

Inseparable since childhood, Joss and her friends Griffin, Hunt, Layla, and Brady are one of those tightly knit crews that everyone in Ridgemore knows. But celebrating their senior year isn't turning out quite how they'd pictured . . . especially since reanimating the dead isn't possible. Right? Right? For megalomaniac Magnum Chase, anything is possible, and he takes the group of teens to a brand-new "institute" at an undisclosed location, where they'll learn the perks of their newly discovered immortality.

Everyone in Ridgemore knows Joss and her friends Griffin, Hunt, Layla, and Brady have been inseparable since they were kids. You mess with one, and you'll have the whole bunch to answer to. Their senior year should be one long carefree party, but Joss can't seem to get over a crush on Griffin that could screw up their lifelong friendship. She can't help it; she's drawn to his devilish smirk and the brooding stare that seems to trail her wherever she goes. But any thoughts of romance go out the window when a horrible accident changes everything.

In nineteenth century Norland, magic is forbidden, punishable by death. But it's coming for Clara. Clara was born to the nobility at a time when rank and power are often more valuable than the bonds of family. Her parents have plans for her, none that she wants, all involving her arranged marriage. From her birth, her entire life has been planned out-only what a future wife in society needs to know. Every step of her path is meant to end with her walking down an aisle and then popping out heirs.

My fate has never been my own. Nia: Declared savior of all werewolves when I was born, I never had a chance at a normal life. I didn’t get parents and I’ve been unable to leave my wolf pack’s territory for 22 years. If a hunter finds me, I risk more than my own life. I risk my pack. I’ve kept myself busy training, learning to fight, sculpting my body into a weapon I can use to defend myself when the hunters come for me. And they will. They’re looking for me. But then he shows up. Suddenly, I want things I’m not allowed to have...

Marla’s ancestors saddled her with frizzy red hair, sarcasm on tap, the Gawama last name, and the urge to run from her problems. Her bloodline was also supposed to guarantee she’d be a powerful witch. She isn’t, not by a long shot. Only those with magic are allowed in her hometown. Now that her teenage children are awakening, and sparking enough power to be a fire hazard, she’s headed back. Even if she isn’t ready. Even if she’s fresh out of divorce court. But then Marla and her kids all but blow up the town on day one.

When Bruno rides up on a Harley, all muscled and tattooed, it isn’t just the bike that purrs. I’m drawn to the wolf shifter in a way that can’t be denied. But when he can’t take his eyes off me, it’s not for the reason I’d hoped. He knows more about me than I do. My past isn't what I thought it was. My enemies are much more powerful than I’d ever imagined. My destiny alone remains the same. I’ll do whatever it takes to secure the future of werewolves.

Just when Marla Gawama thinks she might be getting the hang of her detective doo-ties, the universe has to go and prove her wrong.

Huzzah! I made it to my 23rd birthday! Given how much dragon magic I have rolling through me now, doing its best to cook me from the inside out, this feat is no small thing. I’ve earned a hearty celebration and then some. I’m gonna party down at Sharmayne’s and let her ply me with as many of her cocktails as she wants. Her magic touch is exactly what I need after how nutty life in Traitor’s Den has been lately. I deserve every hypnotic, milky, swirling Moon Mixer she sends my way. Hell, I might get fancy and skip right on to a Roll in the Hay, maybe even a Sirens on the Rocks.

My whole life is one tangled lie. A horrible deception. All my past choices steered by the woman who hunts me without pause. She’s powerful, vicious, and cruel, feared by the entire supernatural community. She’s also an immortal. Yeah, she can’t be killed—supposedly. Nothing like an insurmountable challenge, right?

The Rocky Mountain Pack’s territory has always been her sanctuary. The one place where she was safe from those who track her, their pursuit merciless and unrelenting. But when Naya is taken from her very home, that refuge is violated. She’s exposed. There’s nowhere safe for her now. And her enemy is far more terrible than she ever imagined. An immortal, the woman can’t be killed. She’s lived a thousand years already. Naya is determined to find a way to end the immortal where none has been found before. She is a warrior. She’s trained her entire life to defeat the hunters.

I’ve never seen the outside world and I don’t care. The cannon-toting, trigger-happy residents here are like family, even if most of them are a few spoons short of a full set. Eventually, everyone grows on you, kinda like nail fungus. But the booze flows freely, and Tiger keeps me company. He’s as much a prisoner as I am. Just when I think I’ve made my peace with my lot, the portal pops open and two men shoot through, throwing punches before their feet even finish landing in my town. When they finally look at me, all I see is problems. Big, ginormous, too-handsome problems.

As a hybrid shapeshifter - half siren, half angel - Selene is one of a kind. It’s a label that makes her the target of a rebel faction of supernatural creatures that seeks to claim her power. Power that is undeveloped and more a danger than anything. Soon Selene is on the run in an unfamiliar world, unable to return to her ocean home. At least she’s not alone. Quinn, a shifter with his own secrets, has her back.

Jasmine thought her problems would end once she mastered the cursed pendant. Ah-ha-ha. How cute. When she returns to the Magical Creatures Academy after a prolonged absence, she discovers the supernatural community is at the brink of war. A rogue organization of paranormals wants power it shouldn’t have, leaving the magical world divided...and more dangerous than ever.

Jas is no stranger to trouble. She usually sets off in search of it, for funsies. Not anymore. Not now that her cursed pendant has delivered her to the last place she’d ever wish to go. To the one place where she definitely doesn’t belong. She wants nothing more than to return to the Magical Creatures Academy to squirrel away some private time with the smoking hot shifter who’s finally all hers.

New rule: When you find a shiny, pretty necklace, do not put it on. Jas has long known about magical objects. She just never thought the pendant her summer fling left behind would be one. Now Jas has to figure out how to master her pendant...before it masters her.

Jasmine has been around magic all her life. She knows the rules, and she loves to break them. When she turned 18, her shifter powers manifested, just as she expected them to. When the Magical Creatures Academy invited her to attend the prestigious school, she wasn’t surprised. When she had a fling with a flirtatious fae over the summer, she thought nothing would come of it, especially as she’s had her eye on a mighty fine shifter at the academy. But for once Jas is about to be shocked. The fae isn’t what he appeared to be, and neither is the amulet he left behind.

The people and creatures of Traitor’s Den are always getting into trouble. It’s the one thing I can count on. The longer they spend in the Den, the more the spell that keeps us all here has the chance to take effect, turning us all into my Uncle Tucker’s version of cowboys and cowgirls. Our little one-way town is always wild and outrageous, and no day is ever the same. But when Rhett Stead and Zeke Doyle tumble through the portal, our town’s signature wild Western flavor swells a couple of notches, especially since they seem to think I’m their mate or queen or...whatever.

Marla Gawama is the new detective of Gales Haven. She knows nothing about sleuthing, but her nan assigned her the job, and what Bessie Gawama wants, she gets. Marla does her best to carry out her new detective doo-ties. She even dons her comfortable running shoes and sets out to get ’er done. But when some bumbling bumpkins show up in town, and Haveners start losing their marbles left and right, it becomes clear she’s not cut out for the job. That never stopped a Gawama witch before. And she isn’t going to let it stop her now.
