Cougar shifter Mason Foye is used to getting things he doesn’t want. First, his father died, leaving Mason the heir apparent of the alpha position of a group of mutinous cats. Now, the absentee goddess who created the species is sending him and his brothers on an ill-timed mate hunt. And her message, for once, is clear: convince a stranger to become his mate, or else. When Ellery Colvard embarks on a camping trip with her two best friends, she expects bonding and maybe a little adventure, not to be kidnapped by a supernatural menace for the second time in a year. But this time, she’s nobody’s victim. The witch is prepared to use every trick in her arsenal to escape. But…she’s not entirely sure she’s supposed to. Powerful entities seem to be conspiring to push the two reluctant parties together, but can they trust the magic is real? Because if it isn’t, Mason may be cursed to spend the rest of his days roaming in his four-legged form—a bad deal for a father of an infant son.
A desperate entity trapped on the other side of an active hellmouth pleads for cougar shifter Belle Foye’s help, and she can’t stop herself from running toward it, even though it means putting her own life in danger. As if that weren’t inconvenient enough, Belle’s inner cat’s biological clock is loudly ticking, which means her body is acting in all sorts of ways she wishes it wouldn’t—particularly when it comes to her new babysitter. Former soldier Steven Welch has been tasked with keeping Belle away from the hellmouth at all costs. It’s just his luck that the cat has taken a shine to his human self. Unfortunately, sticking close to her means he has no choice but to confront a fear of the supernatural he’d hoped he left in the Afghan desert. When the pair learns Steven’s own secret paranormal gift could help solve Belle’s problem, their differences collide. Steven insists he’s no hero, but Belle wants to enter the hellmouth and end the trouble it’s brought on her family once and for all. If Belle can’t convince him that she has his back as well as he has hers, she’ll lose her fated mate and the only man she’s ever trusted enough to call “partner.”
Cougar second-in-command Hank Foye has been thrust into an unwanted mate match by the goddess La Bella Dama, and saying no is out of the question. As stubborn as he is, not even Hank wants to suffer her curse for refusing. He simply doesn’t understand why she’d pair a powerful shapeshifter with a quiet human nurse. Miles Bennett knows she’s a liability in a world where shifters fight each other to lead and roam. Orphaned young, she’s not afraid, though, to take a chance on surly Hank and walk his path with him if it means she’ll finally belong to a family again. But she’s not going to make it easy for him. She’s deserves better from him than benign neglect, and he knows it. She may not have been the mate Hank wanted, but sweet Miles is the embodiment of everything he thought he couldn’t have. Nothing makes sense anymore—not his goddess, not the local Cougar dynamics, and certainly not his feelings. How can Hank lead a group of restless shapeshifters if he can’t even get his own house, and heart, in order?
Hannah Welch doomed cougar shifter Sean Foye to spend the rest of his life in his animal form when she refused to accept him as a mate, but now she has no choice but to make peace. She strikes a bargain with the Cougar goddess La Bella Dama that frees Sean from his furry affliction, but also requires that Hannah to find him a more suitable mate. When the goddess sends them on a mission to root out a group of dangerous forgotten shifters, Sean has no choice but to put his anger toward Hannah on ice. The sooner he can get back to the ranch, the sooner he can disentangle himself from the hostile woman who was supposed to be his mate. But now Hannah’s not so sure she should give him up. He’s the only man who’s ever made her feel comfortable in her own skin—and her own fur, too. Unfortunately, Sean’s got hang-ups of his own. Just like her, he’s used to being overlooked. Can she prove to him that their destiny deserves a second chance? Or will they continue to walk alone, rejecting the loving, yet daunting, future Fate had in store for them?
The sons of the fallen angel Gulielmus thought they were just taking out some supernatural trash in Eastern North Carolina. A year later, the effects of their brawl reverberate half a country away in New Mexico. Fortunately, the trouble surfaces in the best possible place: on the ranch of one of Maria’s oldest shapeshifter families. THE COUGAR’S PAWN Cougar shifter Mason Foye’s father died, leaving him the heir apparent of the alpha position of a group of mutinous cats. Now the absentee goddess who originated the species is sending him on an ill-timed mate hunt. And for once, her message is clear: convince stranger Ellery Colvard to become his mate, or else. THE COUGAR’S TRADE Hank Foye can’t find the logic in the goddess La Bella Dama pairing a shapeshifter group’s second-in-command with a meek and quiet human nurse. Given the chaos at home on the ranch and inside the Cougar group, Miles Bennet is a liability. He may have escaped being cursed, but he still has to get his house and heart in order. And Miles isn’t going to make it easy for him. THE COUGAR’S BARGAIN Hannah Welch doomed cougar shifter Sean Foye to spend the rest of his life in his animal form when she refused to accept him as a mate. To make peace with her new community, she bargains with La Bella Dama to free Sean from his furry affliction. The price? Finding him a more suitable mate. But now Hannah’s not so sure she should give him up. THE COUGAR’S WISH A desperate entity trapped in a hellmouth pleads for cougar shifter Belle Foye’s help. Former soldier Steven Welch’s job is to keep her away from the hellmouth by any means necessary. It’s just his luck that the bold and reckless alpha’s sister has taken a shine to him…and that his own secret supernatural situation could compromise everything they’re working for.
