Product: Baby For The Soldier Cougar (Shifter Nation: Special Ops Shifters: Dallas Force)
Description: Cougars don’t mate for life. You can hang your hat on that.
Or so I thought.

When I’m not heading out on missions with Dallas’s Special Ops Shifter Force, my life is a fairly simple one.

Tending to my ranch is just what the doctor ordered after serving as a Green Beret.

I’ve always been lucky with the ladies, but as a cougar, I’ve got no qualms about returning to the solitude of my ranch alone after a night out on the town.

When Delilah sidles up to me at the rodeo to ask for the Force’s help, my cougar instantly has his eyes on the prize.

And after a hot tumble in the hay together, I figure that’s all she wrote.

Until I find out she’s got one in the chute.

That’s right, Vance Morris is gonna be a daddy.

Sweet baby Rose is the most precious little cub I’ve ever seen.

And the more time I spend with her and Delilah, the more my human side wants us to be together.

No matter what my damn fool of a cougar thinks.

So when my family comes under threat during a covert mission, I’ll do whatever it takes to protect them.

Come hell or high water.

Description: My one true love, the woman I’ve pined after for centuries, is now my greatest enemy.

I may not look a day over thirty, but I’m an ancient dragon shifter from the Sahara Desert.
God knows eyebrows would be raising if I hadn’t retired from the Special Forces at some point.
But staying busy in the service all those years helped keep my mind off losing Katalin.
Although my mate went missing centuries ago, my dragon’s fire will never stop burning for her.
I can’t possibly forget the way her soft curves fit so perfectly against me every night.
And thoughts of letting her slip from my fingers haunt me to this day.
So when I’m asked to lead the Special Ops Shifter Force’s L.A. unit, I jump at the chance.
Our next mission is to investigate a string of gruesome murders reported by a Venice Beach wolf pack.
And believe it or not, all victims have two puncture wounds at the neck.
But everyone knows vampires aren’t real.
Or at least that’s what I thought—until I came head to head with one myself.
With the same angelic face as my mate.

Product: Her Alpha Bear Protector (Shifters Of The Elements)
Description: For centuries, High Alphas had guided and protected all Shifter species. I am one of four destined to take the role of High Alpha in the future.

My three cousins were far away, training, living, and preparing. They knew that, in the end, we would face the world together, protecting the peace and prosperity of our species. Our mothers were warriors and legends, the High Alpha’s who defeated one of the evilest Dark Magic Predators in history.

But after twenty-five years of peace, the darkness was pushing back. My life had been spent training, growing, fighting with the Musabe Mukwa, and my fellow Grizzly Shifters. My mind was focused on defeating my own self-doubt, not a growing rebellion of Dark Magic.

My trainer told me over and over that strength of mind was just as important as the body. He told me to make peace with my rival, Yona, a man that I wanted to loathe, but my heart screamed something else. I never thought peace would end, but it did, and it ended where my story began.

From the dark shadows, the rebels gathered. They planned and prayed to an entity we only knew as The Great One. As the evils crept further toward me, the realization was made that my fight of darkness against light may determine the future of all Shifters.

His baby.

But what I didn't know? By joining, I'd be coming face to face with Emersyn again.
The woman my bear couldn't ignore.
The pantheress my soul couldn't resist.
One glimpse of those enticing feline eyes of hers brought me right back to the fiery nights we shared in the barracks.

The way things ended, I never thought I'd see her again.
But here we are, partnered up on a risky mission to ease tensions between the shifter gangs of L.A.
Too bad I can't seem to ease tensions between us.
Just when I think things are complicated enough, she drops the mother of all bombshells on me.
You see, all this time, I'd been focused on supporting my family.
But little did I know, I'd started a new one with Emersyn.
Lucas is just about a year old now, and the moment I held him, I knew I'd never let him go.
No matter what dangers lie ahead on this mission, I'll stop at nothing to protect what's mine.
And win back Emersyn's heart forever.

Product: Rescued By The Soldier Bear (Shifter Nation: Special Ops Shifters: Dallas Force)
Description: A Special Ops veteran polar bear.
An imprisoned Antarctic dragoness.
They’ve resigned to the fact that they’ll never find their mates.
But fate steps in when they least expect it.

After retiring from the Delta Force, Ash is more than ready to settle down. He’s got his eye on a ranch in Alaska, where he’ll have the freedom to unleash his pent-up polar bear at will. But his inner beast knows his life up north will be a lonely one without a mate. When Ash is cryptically contacted by the Special Ops Shifter Force about enlisting in their new Dallas unit, curiosity gets the best of him and he rethinks his plans.

Being deployed on a covert mission to Antarctica wasn’t something Ash expected. Neither was finding a dragoness who captivated his bear the moment they met.

It’s not easy being a dragon shifter in a world of mortals, so Lane and her flight relocated to the tranquility of Antarctica years ago. The geothermal vents of the caverns they live in are cozy and peaceful, but as one of the few dragons in existence, Lane wonders if she’ll ever meet her fated in a place so remote.

That serenity is shattered when the military infiltrates, quickly turning their home into a prison for experimentation. But little does she know the rebel who claims he’s come to help might also rescue her heart.

Can she trust her so-called savior, or does this spell the end for Lane and her clan?

Finn
My ex told me she was pregnant with my dragonling, and unless I took full custody, he’d be put up for adoption.
I never expected to be a single dad to adorable little Phoenix.
Nor did I think I’d ever find a mate willing to raise another woman’s baby.
Until I met Aurora.
And from the moment we locked eyes, my dragon knew she was mine.

Aurora
I spend my days wandering the Earthen woods, hoping to repair the damaged veil protecting my fae realm from being seen.

Book 1: Daddy Soldier Bear

As soon as I encountered Nikki, my bear went wild with need.

But my mate died in childbirth years ago, and as a military trained doctor, I still beat myself up for not being able to save her.

I never thought I’d love again.

But the way my bear yearns for her now has me thinking otherwise.

Book 2: Fake Mate For The Soldier Lion
God, I’ve been craving a mate for far too long.

But between my tactical missions with the Special Ops Shifter Force and working my ass off, I've had no choice but to ignore the roar of my inner lion.

Until the day a sassy, iron-willed lioness showed up at the Force’s secret headquarters unannounced.

Desire surged through my veins the moment our feline eyes met, lighting every cell in my body ablaze.

We weren’t recruiting, but our Alpha reluctantly agreed to deploy her on a test mission—where she and I will be posing as mates.

The only problem? I know she’s my one true match. And dating within the Force is strictly forbidden.

Will honor and duty keep my inner big cat from finally claiming what’s his?

Book 3: Captured By The Soldier Wolf
I was sent on a covert mission to infiltrate a pack in the Rockies, but once I met the Alpha’s raging hot sister, I knew this mission was going to be a hell of a lot harder than I thought.

She’d returned to her home pack with her little boy after a messy divorce, hoping to piece together a new life.

But one night deep in the forest, she overheard my phone call with the Force, leaving me no choice but to take her hostage.

I’ve gotta keep my cover and protect the integrity of the mission.

But when tensions rise between that hot little wolf and I in the middle of the woods, will we be able to ignore the demands of our inner beasts?

Book 4: Christmas With The Soldier Dragon
I’m the only shifter of my kind, never knowing the sense of family that comes with being part of a clan.

The rest of my comrades are celebrating the holidays with their mates, and that only magnifies the issue.

So when I was presented with a mission to investigate a mysterious case of shifter disappearances around Lake Tahoe, I jumped at the chance to get away from it all.

But when I arrived, I came face to face with another dragon in the lake.

Everything I’d known to be true was suddenly turned on its head, awakening the fire that had long been dormant in my heart.

Finding her was the greatest Christmas gift I could’ve ever imagined.

But with threats around every corner, will my dreams of finally having a mate be torn apart?
