title: Nature of the Beasts
author: Michaels, Trista Ann
description: Shapeshifters Dmitry and Dastan decided to leave the protected dimension and their posts as Council Guardians to experience a more normal life in the mortal world. A witch, Sarah was sent along to keep an eye on the shifters as they adapt to human life as ranchers in Montana.
  
  Sarah, who'd known the shifters all her life, suddenly found herself attracted to them. Well, maybe not suddenly, but being around them every day certainly wasn't helping matters. The physical pull only got harder to ignore. When she couldn't resist it any longer, the outcome shocked them all. Especially Sarah.
  
  All three have come to love the ranch and their new life, but when bodies start appearing on the land, the sheriff, who already doesn't trust the shifters, begins to look a little too closely at their tight-knit unit. If they can't straighten things out, their time in the mortal world, and their newfound happiness, will come to a quick and painful end...
