(excerpt)

Tayla Garrett, Sentinel and cheetah shapeshifter, has known her new partner, Mark Burton, for years. Although Tayla has always been drawn to Mark, her natural exuberance and strength has been the make-or-break in one too many relationships, and she keeps her distance; if Mark finds her stunning and completely beguiling, he nonetheless respects her obvious disinterest. But Tayla's self-doubts are leaking over into her work, and with a critical mission before her, no one can afford a misstep.

With Tayla under emphatic orders to get her head straight--whatever it takes--and Mark under equally emphatic orders to get his new partner working to full potential--whatever it takes--they've got their hands full...and that's before the timetable moves up to now. But being who they are and being what they are--and being what they quickly become to each other--they'll get the job done.

Whatever it takes...

(excerpt)

At dusk he prowled the Southwest, a huge, sleek black jaguar with startling blue eyes and a man’s thoughts. A shape-shifting Sentinel, Dolan Treviño projected an intensely animalistic aura that hid the scars of his past. Yet as fierce as his pride was, this immensely powerful guardian needed the intuition and spirit of an innocent horse trainer to find redemption.

The moment he set foot on her ranch, Meghan Lawrence rejected the shape-shifter’s protection—but she couldn’t turn her back on her family legacy. Her mother had died protecting a magical manuscript that the Sentinels’ dark counterparts would now do anything to recover. With an
unbreakable will and all-consuming passion, only Dolan possessed the strength to save Meghan. But was she strong enough to tame the beast within?

Lion Heart is a Fresh Pick of the day for August 18 at Fresh Fiction!

Joe Ryan has a rep as an unproven bad seed, a cougar-shifter whom no one will work with. His former partner is dead and while everyone suspects his involvement, no one can prove either his guilt or his innocence. But ocelet-shifter Lyn Maines, deeply scarred by corruption in her family's past, is determined to do just that--even after she realizes her instant attraction to him.

Yet neither Joe nor Lyn realize how deeply the Atrum Core has affected the area by siphoning energy from the powerful San Francisco Peaks of Joe's home--and the only way to stop it is if Joe and Lyn can overcome their deep differences to not only love together, but to work together...

Romance Junkies: Shape-shifting mountain lion Sentinel Joe Ryan is accused of killing his partner, but with no evidence, he is assigned to watch over the Arizona Mountains.

Wolf Hunt

excerpt

Nick Carter, Sentinel consul adjutent, runs as a timber wolf--and it shows. But few of his Sentinels know the line he's been walking within compromised Brevis Southwest, and he needs to keep it that way. Uncovering entrenched Atrum Core moles has proved to be a long-term effort, requiring much patience--but it's time to step up the hunt.

Jet is a woman with no last name, because Jet didn't start life as a woman at all. She is an Atrum Core construct, a wolf turned human, roughly educated to Core purposes and turned loose on a mission: Take out Nick Carter...

When the two come together, neither Sentinel nor Atrum Core will be able to predict--or contain--the results.
