Posted February 10, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

A bear prowling the edge of danger. 
Gray Jennings has a problem. One that could get him put down by his alpha. It started when a rogue military commander laid siege to the town of Bearden and months later, Gray is still shifting in his sleep. His lack of control marks him as a hazard to both humans and other shifters. 

He’s being watched. 

He knows the danger he poses. 

So when rich girl Meghan Wilcox comes to town, he vows to stay far away. The last thing Gray needs is a distraction. Even if Meghan’s curves and fragile beauty bring out his protective nature. 

But the girl’s got a secret and worse, her sweet scent stirs his angry bear. 

A girl hiding from her enemies. 
Meghan’s on the run, hiding from a vengeful ex-fiance after she dumped him at the altar. He’s humiliated and hunting for her, intent on payback. Out of sheer desperation, she seeks safety in the small town of Bearden. Tucked away in a secret cabin, Meghan feels the glimmers of hope. Finally. But a new threat soon arrives in the shape of a terrifying shifter. 

A bear who has shifted in his sleep. Gray Jennings. 

Meghan gentles him and they form a tentative truce. A bond links her to the formidable shifter, but he’s savage and unpredictable. Has she traded one danger for another? 

Meghan’s past won’t stay quiet. Just when her heart is on the edge of loving this untamed shifter, danger looms, threatening all she holds dear. The only one who can save her is the wild and feral bear. 

… Gray Jennings.

Hunted Mate by Cecelia Lane

Posted February 3, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

A wounded fox shifter hiding from her past. 
No one could call fox shifter Becca Holden fragile. She’s been to hell and back and got the t-shirt, thank you very much. Years ago, she found herself pregnant with her mate’s baby. When she miscarried, Nolan turned away, leaving her to grieve on her own. She left Bearden, vowing never to return. 

She’s been alone ever since. 

Drifting from job to job, her life takes on a new level of misery and danger when she falls prey to hunters. Men who want to use her for their depraved version of fox-hunting. Becca manages to survive. Barely. She escapes her nightmare, but with nowhere left to go, she’s forced to return to Bearden. 

Heartache isn’t done with Becca just yet… 

A second chance with the mate he lost. 
If Nolan Byers could have one do-over, it would be Becca. He and Becca were too young when she got pregnant, and when she lost the baby, they drifted apart. Becca left town, taking Nolan’s heart with her. 

Time hasn’t healed this wound. If anything, the pain is worse. Ten long and lonely years pass until, one day, she returns to Bearden. Becca… his Becca. She’s as beautiful as ever. The moment he sees her, he knows why he never wanted another woman. Because of Becca. 

His one. His only. His mate for life. 

Now he just needs to convince Becca to forgive him. But the feisty fox shifter wants nothing to do with him. He sees her around town and she either shuts him down, brushes him off, or flat-out ignores him. 

Her sass infuriates Nolan’s bear. His self-control unravels a little more each time he sees his beautiful, aggravating and smart-mouthed little mate. When a fire burns through Becca’s home, a fire that starts under suspicious circumstances, Nolan makes his move. 

Becca’s in danger and his possessive and angry bear will no longer be denied.

Dangerous Mate by Cecilia Lane

Posted January 27, 2019 by Marsha in Shifter Connected, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

A Bear spoiling for a brawl. 
Cole Strathorn fights fires. That’s all he’s ever wanted to do. He thrives on danger and protecting his clan. No one would mistake the six-foot-four, gruff bear shifter for a freaking baby sitter. But that’s exactly what he’s become thanks to an assignment from the town’s mayor. Cole’s new job requires him to keep an eye on the government scientist who has arrived in Bearden to study the shifters. 

Cole expects a clichéd nerd with horn-rimmed glasses and a pocket protector, but he’s pleasantly surprised to find his charge is a lovely, curvy and very appealing woman. A woman who smells like she might be more than an assignment. The shy but brilliant scientist might even be his mate. Her addicting scent certainly arouses his bear. 

A head for science, but a body for research. 
Rylee Garland has come to Bearden to work. She doesn’t have time for distractions or bossy bodyguards, even if they’re tall, dark and gorgeous. She’s determined to ignore the tension sizzling between her and Cole. Her reputation hangs in the balance. If she doesn’t solve the mysteries swirling around the small town, she can forget about keeping her job. 

But it grows harder to resist Cole’s charm. One wicked-hot kiss leads to another. Is Cole for real? Or is he just using his seduction skills to get information? Rylee’s had enough heartache for one lifetime and the deeper she falls for Cole, the more she worries he might not be what he seems. 

A war brews. 
While Rylee and Cole fight their attraction, sinister forces gather in the town of Bearden. The government might want information about the shifters, but there are others that seek something darker: total shifter eradication. The threat lurks, and the menace is real. Rylee and Cole must set aside fear and desire and join forces if they hope to save the shifters of Bearden.

An Alpha Bound by Duty 
Bear shifter Callum Strathorn has a job to do. With his father’s health declining, it’s up to Callum to take over as Mayor of Bearden. 

When Leah Arden crashes her car near Bearden, Callum leads the first responders. He pulls the lovely woman from the wreckage, but as her wits return, she sees things that humans should never see. Forbidden things, like a mysterious town and a man shifting into a bear. 

Callum has no choice. To protect his town and his clan, he keeps Leah captive in Bearden while he figures out damage control. He soon finds himself with a fiery and furious female on his hands. And if things couldn’t get worse, the stubborn and aggravatingly sexy woman smells and tastes just like his fated mate. 

A Woman on the Run 
Leah Arden lives a life haunted by secrets. She can’t stay in one place for long or her past will catch up with her. With nowhere to turn, she doesn’t trust anyone, not until she meets Bearden’s gruff but handsome mayor. 

Callum’s slow, sexy smile and quiet strength make her yearn for more. But when he lays down the law and forces her to remain in Bearden, she grows desperate to find a way to escape. Even if that means betraying the one man who makes her want to put down roots. 

As Leah’s secrets unravel, the danger grows, looming over her and all of Bearden. Callum’s enemies are looking for weakness, and he handed them one on a silver platter. Can the town’s alpha keep his people safe, especially the woman who is fated to be his?

Wrangled Fate by Cecilia Lane

Posted November 14, 2018 by Marsha in Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Desperate to find her missing brother, Tansey Nichols journeys to Montana’s Black Claw Ranch. She intends to question the owner, Ethan Ashford. Ethan’s her last hope, but the tall, rugged bear shifter claims he doesn’t know her brother. Never met him. Tansey’s sure the smooth-talking cowboy knows more than he’s letting on.

Good thing she brought a gun.

Ethan’s sultry smile suggests he’s imagining a hundred dirty things. He’s amused by her gun, not at all concerned. If the handsome cowboy wants to pretend he can’t recall seeing her brother, she’ll fire off a round or two. A teensy bit of gunfire might jog his memory. He doesn’t think she means business? Her brother’s life is in danger.

She’ll show him business.

The little whiskey-eyed spitfire pulls the trigger…

Good thing she misses his boots by a country mile. Ethan had been having fun until that point, teasing her a little, trying to get to know her. But Tansey isn’t interested in flirting. Most women think he’s hot. Not this one. Tansey has questions and she demands answers.

First off, her little, girly pistol has got to go. Her next shot might scuff his best boots. One quick move and she’s his. The curvy girl is no match for his brute strength. Of course, she’s mad as hell. He’s got her wrapped up in a tight hold, keeping her prisoner. She’ll need to stay put because he has a few questions of his own.

Ethan’s shifter instincts warn him Tansey’s a terrible danger to the delicate balance he maintains with his shifter side. She squirms, fighting him hard. His bear stirs and snarls. Her lush curves and the honeyed scent of her silken skin confirm exactly what he suspects.

This little spitfire is his mate.

Then gunshots ring across the Montana range. Ethan knows Tansey’s been set up.

The danger to his feisty, fated mate is closing in…

Sexy shifters and their feisty mates who aren’t shy about loving each other – in other words, there’s going to be sex involved in this story – so, this is an adult, 18+ reader tale.

Titles in the Black Claw Ranch series include:  Wrangled Fate – Spurred Fate –
