The world is on the verge of all-out war between shifters and humans, and Jacks needs to somehow broker a deal for peace. The lives of his human boyfriend, Farzan, and Farzan’s family are at stake.
But a special U.S. intelligence agency emerges as a new, possibly even more dangerous threat. Both the werecat guerillas and the U.S. government will stop at nothing to get an arcane codex with instructions both for unleashing the primordial sabretooth god and for banishing feline shifters forever.

The kind of intern meant to disappear into the background.
Until he throws himself in front of a blade meant for me.
Now he’s always at my side.
Craving the smallest scrap of praise like it’s air.
And I give it to him.
Not because he’s earned it.
But because I like who he becomes when he’s praised.
Bolder, braver, a little more mine each day.
I tell myself I can keep him close without letting him in.
But someone’s after me.
And if Wren keeps looking too closely, he won’t just see the truth.
He’ll get pulled into it.

I came to the sacred island to pay my family’s debt. I never expected to lose my heart.
My name is Callis, and I’m an offering.
Sent to Eletheria—the legendary pleasure palace where gods once walked among mortals—I have one purpose: submit to the bonding ritual, serve my time, and return home with my family’s honor restored.
But the man who chooses me changes everything.
Auren is silver-haired, devastatingly beautiful, and dangerously powerful. As a Thorn of the sacred order, he needs to complete a successful bond to advance in rank. I should be just another transaction to him—a means to an end.
Instead, he awakens something in me I never knew existed.
Under his skilled touch, I discover pleasure that burns hotter than temple incense. The bond between us grows deeper than any ritual, more consuming than prayer itself. But Auren carries the scars of three failed bonds, and I have a ship waiting to take me home.
As our connection intensifies, I’m forced to choose: honor my duty and leave, or risk everything for a love that could either complete us both—or destroy us.
Some debts can only be paid with the heart.

Over the next several years, I made my way across the country, finally running out of steam in a small city I hoped would offer me a better future than the home I’d lost. My first job interview is at a place called Cuffed. My job experience nearly nil, I thought being a waiter would be a good starting place.
Little did I know, they expected me to be…not so me. Not so damned shy.

He was half corpse, half human.
A ghost, but also a god.
I found him blood-soaked and silent, covered in scars and sitting in sin. It was my job to train to him—to mold him into a weapon the mafia deemed useful.
The Forgotten wasn’t a place that offered comfort—we provided control. Pain with a purpose. Power that couldn’t be taken.
Blue was just like the others… until he wasn’t.
I dedicated most of my life to studying humans—peeling back their layers until only their true selves remained. I knew enough about monsters to know, on some level, I was one.
Blue wasn’t a man nor a monster.
No.
He was mine.

BLURB:
Getting abducted by aliens was not on my bingo card.
Marketing pre-packaged sandwiches was not an exciting job, but it paid the bills. Okay, actually I hated it and it barely covered the basics. Long drives down rural highways to gas stations and minimarts in one and two stoplight towns across a two state area made for a terrible commute. I wanted out, but I’d thought I’d start looking for a new job closer to my apartment. Not get kidnapped along with a whole bunch of other humans by one set of aliens only to crashland on an inhospitable planet inhabited by yet another set of aliens.
Seriously, when the other survivors voted that it would be me to venture out of the wreckage to see if there was somewhere safe for us to go, there was a whole lot of nothing but white, more white, and oh, even more white frozen landscape as far as my eyes could see through the falling snow. This Florida boy was not a happy camper, let me tell you.
Then, he appeared. At first, I thought I was about to be eaten by an alien Yeti thanks to the furs he wore. Instead, when he shed them to wrap me up, I was stunned to find a seven foot plus tri color tabby cat man with a disconcertingly human-like face and body. A very ripped one that under very different circumstances would have had me drooling. He picks me up and hauls me off, not understanding a word I’m trying to get across about the others. I need to get him to understand, so we can save them.The way he looks at me as we spend more time together? Some other things don’t need words to be universally understood.
This planet might be frozen, but things are definitely heating up.

There’s just one problem. I’m the fated mate of a dragon, which means I’m falling hopelessly in love with a man I barely know, whether I want to or not. And for some reason, that man reminds me a lot of one of my father’s closest advisors, Councilor Dormas.

But can I overcome Obi’s high spirits and unjustified sense of betrayal? Coming to grips with having a fated mate isn’t as smooth and easy as the fairy tales say it is.

Let alone Little time, but I try to make it to as many Little play days as possible at my favorite club. If only it wasn’t an hour away.
When my apartment needs renovations, I move into my father’s hotel only to run back into the hottest Daddy I’ve ever met. Or rather haven’t met because when I saw hot Daddy at the club the month before, I fled for home instead of staying to meet him. Now hot Daddy is at my father’s hotel and I can’t get away from the man, but I’m not sure I want to when he offers a month of exploring what it’d be like to have a Daddy all my own.

At Mclean House, everyone knows about the eight founding members. If you need help with anything in the community, you send them a message or approach them at the house. Lucas is the kind Daddy Dom with patience for days, Macklin the funny switch who sure knows how to switch sides as well, and Greer is the primal Master with a huge heart and a devil on his shoulder. Colt has that devil on his shoulder too, actually. Lucian, another Master, is into high protocol and creative punishments. Penelope loves to host events and runs a tight ship. Last but definitely not least, the men who came up with the idea to start a community. River and Reese are the scary, sadistic twin brothers—until you get to know them and see the sweethearts under the ink, of course.
The eight founders find their happily ever afters in the Game Series, but this book isn’t about that. It’s about what happened before. The story very few know so far. How they met, how they became friends, and how they started exploring together.
So let’s go back to the beginning. It’s a cold night in Baltimore, and Lucas is about to catch the scowl of someone at an event where he feels completely out of place.

Bound to Two Bears turns ten on 13 July 2025!
In celebration, the author has deeply edited the story, made minor (and some not so minor) changes to some of the characters and events, and added an additional 6,000 words.
Newly dumped Carson Davies decides the vacation he’d planned to take his girlfriend on—in hopes of fixing their troubled relationship—is the perfect getaway he needs to clear his head. A few days of solitude, hiking along picturesque Bear Mountain is just what he thinks he needs to move on. But as soon as he arrives, he’s shocked by the sensual reaction he has to the two owners. The two male owners. Carson has never been attracted to a man, and he fights the sensation tooth and nail.
Royce and Jared know their mate as soon as he walks in the door of the main lodge. They’re ready to claim what’s theirs, but know they need to be careful. The man sees himself as straight, but that’s the least of their problems. They’ll need to show him their true nature, their inner bear, and hope it doesn’t send the man packing.
The shifters have just three days before the human is scheduled to go home. In a short span, they’ve got to show Carson how bound they all are and hope they can seduce the man into surrendering.
