Lieutenant Seth Morrison loves being a cop, but with budget cuts and crime both on the rise, he’s stopped making time for anything but his job.
On the outside, Brandon Lord appears to be an easy-going, flirtatious club owner. On the inside, he’s a man trying to overcome a difficult past.
When a murder investigation brings the two men together, passion roars to life. They’re both willing to break the rules to be together. Because as mismatched as they might seem, each man is exactly what the other needs.

Excerpt 5
Brandon’s POV
I shift. There’s no time to strip, but the shift will push the bullet out and start the healing process. As a bear I can break through the padlocked door to the outside. The men rattle the door, but I reach the parking lot before they break through. I gallop off down the street, thankful for the cover of darkness.
People tend to freak when a big black bear lumbers toward them. But I don’t dare go back to human form. Bears aren’t impervious to bullets, but we can take more and keep going than a human, and a swipe with one of our paws can knock a smaller shifter flat.
Where the hell do I run to? I can’t go home. I have to assume these men know where I live. I could go to a friend’s house, but if they track me down, I’ve put my friend and maybe his family in danger.
Lt. Morrison told me to let him know if I thought of anything new. Showing up naked at his house at three in the morning is most likely not what he meant, but at least he’ll be armed and prepared to defend himself in case my attackers find me.
I use a claw to dislodge a scrap of T-shirt that still clings to my fur. It’s the same shirt I wore when I talked to Morrison earlier in the evening. I bring it to my nose and take a deep breath, sorting through the various smells until I find Morrison’s scent. I make the bear equivalent of a sigh. I would happily follow that smell anywhere.
Buy the book:
Silvia Violet writes erotic romance in a variety of genres including paranormal, contemporary, and historical. She can be found haunting coffee shops looking for the darkest, strongest cup of coffee she can find. Once equipped with the needed fuel, she can happily sit for hours pounding away at her laptop. Silvia typically leaves home disguised as a suburban stay-at-home-mom, and other coffee shop patrons tend to ask her hilarious questions like “Do you write children’s books?” She loves watching the looks on their faces when they learn what she’s actually up to. When not writing, Silvia enjoys baking sinfully delicious treats, exploring new styles of cooking, and reading to her incorrigible offspring.

Just ordered my first book by this author (Fitting In) and look forward to exploring more of her books. They all sound so good–Mount TBR keeps growing and growing.
I prefer a bear shifter. In fact, I love gay romance with a shapeshifter twist, and this looks like a good one. So, congrats.
Bear shifters, please.
Definitely a bear shifter, please and thank you!
Bear shifter….I love paranormal twist
Sounds like a hoot!
