Rejected Midlife Wolf by Meg Ripley

Posted July 16, 2023 by Marsha in Kindle Unlimited, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Series, Shifters & Magic / 0 Comments

I thought Gage and I were destined to be together forever. Until he rejected me and abandoned our pack.

I found my fated mate over twenty years ago but got impatient waiting for him to admit his feelings. In my infinite teen wisdom, I cast a love spell to give him a nudge. But my plan failed miserably when I botched it, and Gage rejected me in front of our whole pack instead.

My dating history has been hilariously bad ever since.  So between my exhausting job as an ER nurse and my duties as the Glenwood pack healer, I’d resigned myself to becoming a crazy old spinster wolf witch.

Until Gage is rushed into the ER one night, unconscious and badly hurt.  The docs don’t think he’ll make it, but they don’t know I’ve got magic on my side. As he’s caught in limbo, I try to bring him back from the brink, but he’s too far gone, and my wolf howls in agony.

Until suddenly, he called my name.

Now that he’s back, will he break my heart all over again, or is fate finally giving us a second chance at forty?

Wolf’s Midlife Secret Child by Meg Ripley

Posted July 6, 2023 by Marsha in Kindle Unlimited, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

When I ran out on Max sixteen years ago, I never expected to be captured by my wolf pack.
Or pregnant with Max’s daughter.

When Max and I got into an argument all those years ago over deciding the best way to raise our little boy, I needed to blow off steam and take a walk.

Little did I know my father would have me captured, demoted to the lowest member of our pack, and living a life of servitude.  As Alpha of the Greystones, he never accepted me being mated to a Glenwood, knowing a witch bloodline runs through their veins.

So when I discover I’m pregnant, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my baby girl safe. But when her magical abilities emerge sixteen years later, I beg her to keep them locked away for her safety— until they prove to be our key to freedom.

Max is in for the shock of his life.  He’d been told I was killed long ago, but here I am on his doorstep at forty, with the teenage daughter he never knew he had.

Wolf’s Midlife Bite by Meg Ripley

Posted June 8, 2023 by Marsha in Kindle Unlimited, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series, Shifters & Magic / 0 Comments

I thought my forties were gonna bite. But not quite like this.

My divorce from my controlling ex was final, but I had one last thing to check off on my list: Covering the tattoo of his name branded on my inner hip.

For comfort, I’d made an appointment with a fellow female, but she was overbooked and referred me to her colleague— Her ripped, gorgeous, very male colleague.

My skin flushed thinking of him working so close to an intimate spot, but Brody was a complete professional— Both during the appointment and between my sheets days later.

He even made an appointment at my dental office, just as an excuse to see me again.  But as I floss his teeth and one suddenly pierces my glove, I learn there’s another side of him: A wolf, simmering just beneath his tattooed skin.

Even crazier?  He tells me I’m now going to become one myself.  As in, a forty-year-old wolf lady.

Midlife crisis suddenly has a whole new meaning.

Forbidden Midlife Mate by Meg Ripley

Posted January 5, 2023 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

When my husband ran off with our saloon’s hostess, I packed my bags and left Montana, joining my college-aged son in Oregon.

Eugene’s a far cry from my little hometown, but I’m doing my best to blend in with the locals.  I grabbed my new fitness tracker and headed out for a jog.  Deep into the trail, I thought I stumbled upon some hippies until they changed into wolves.  And the moment I screamed, they set their sights on me.  I ran for my life until my clumsy ass tripped and blacked out.

Now I’m waking up on a handsome stranger’s couch, with no recollection of what I’d just seen.  Rex is intimidating and a little rough around the edges.  But something about him sets me on fire.  And when I land a job, and he ends up being my boss, he awakens something deep inside me, and it’s not just another hot flash.

Too bad Rex is the only one who wants me around.  My coworkers at the rock club have it in for me, and when they threaten me after work one night, a nightmare comes to life before my very eyes.  In mere seconds, they shift from men to snarling wolves.

But I realize that nightmare is just beginning when I look down at my trembling hands… and see snow-white paws instead.

Bear’s Midlife Christmas by Meg Ripley

Posted January 1, 2023 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Christmas is supposed to be the season of miracles. But seeing my ‘90s high school boyfriend change into a bear isn’t the miracle I’d hoped for.

I’ve spent my life trying to create the perfect family.  Now look at me, divorced at 44 with an empty nest, spending my first Christmas alone.

I just inherited my aunt’s winery up in Carlton, so at least I’ll have that to keep me busy.  But when my high school first love shows up, nothing can distract me from the feelings rushing back– Until reality smacks me in the face.

Corey took off 26 years ago and broke my heart, leaving me no choice but to move on.  But now here he is with his same boyish charm, asking for a second chance.  As we go on some festive dates together, I finally start to let my guard down with him– Until I find out he’s been hiding a dark secret.

He’s not only capable of morphing into a bear, but he was also under a feral curse for all those years.  And when a wolf from his past comes looking for revenge, so much for a holly, jolly Christmas– I’m now caught in the crossfire between two vicious beasts.

Next Door Midlife Bear by Meg Ripley

Posted November 15, 2022 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Kindle Unlimited, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

When I said I needed a midlife reboot, growing pumpkins in a town full of bear people wasn’t what I had in mind. Neither was falling for one of them.

I should’ve been more specific when I asked the universe for a change
Because here I am at 44, left with my late aunt’s rundown farmhouse
And a pumpkin patch I know jack about running.
But hey, at least it came with a view.
My hot new neighbor stepped out of the shower in plain sight,
Giving me a very warm welcome to the neighborhood.
Turns out Duke’s not only a hunky cop but the chief of police.
When I run into him at a Halloween party in town,
There’s no disguising the raw desire between us.
And for a woman who’d never seen herself with kids,
His three little ones burrowed their way into my heart.
But not everyone in town is as welcoming as the McMillans.
Hillbillies are trying to intimidate me into selling my land,
And when they realize I won’t budge, all hell breaks loose.
Now I’m uncovering dark secrets that should’ve remained hidden,
And Duke swears he’ll stop at nothing to protect me.
But I’ll soon discover Duke and his kids have a secret of their own.

Cursed Midlife Bear by Meg Ripley

Posted September 24, 2022 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series, Shifters & Magic / 0 Comments

When I turned 40, getting divorced was nowhere on my radar.
Neither was getting pregnant with a cursed bear shifter’s baby.

Have a divorce party, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
It was until I ended up in handcuffs.
A group of Karens rained on my parade at the winery
And in my drunken haze, I mooned every last one of them—
Along with the responding officer called in to arrest my ass.
Not a good look for a teacher starting off in a new little town.
When he cuffed me, I stumbled into his rock-hard body,
But he softened up once he brought me down to the station,
Taking pity on me and caring for me throughout the night.
The charges were dropped the next morning,
So he gave me a ride home, and I offered him breakfast.
But Landon was hungry for me and jumped right to dessert.
Fast forward to now, when I find out I’m pregnant at 40,
But the fun doesn’t end there.
Apparently, Landon’s part bear.
Oh, and his family? Yeah, they’ve been cursed for generations.
Now my unborn child could turn out to be a feral beast—
Just like Landon’s brother, who’s now on the hunt for me.

Bear’s Midlife Witch by Meg Ripley

Posted August 13, 2022 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Widowed witch. Mother of two half-breed teenagers.  And that’s just the beginning of my midlife crisis.

In one of his drunken stupors, my husband got into a fight and plunged off a bridge, leaving me to raise our two children on my own.

Fourteen years later, my son’s struggling to control his magic, but I’m too busy keeping a roof over our heads to train him alone.  When he accidentally sets his bully’s locker on fire, it’s time to move in with my crazy old Aunt Lenora down in Carlton.  I land a waitressing gig at a brewery in town, and when I meet the head chef, his deep green eyes have me spellbound.

He may be a single parent like me, but with his bad boy looks and mischievous smile, I know he’ll be nothing but trouble— Especially when I hear he’s a bear shifter, just like my dead husband.

His unusual name sounds strangely familiar, though.  Intuition tells me to pull the police report for my late husband’s case, but it burst into flames in my hands when I saw the name of the suspect: the same one that belongs to the man I can’t resist.

Alpha’s Midlife Baby by Meg Ripley

Posted July 8, 2022 by Marsha in ARC, Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

I’m fated to the Alpha, but I can’t give him the one thing he needs:
An heir.

They say life begins at forty, but when infertility led to my divorce, it seemed more like the end.

When I’d rather be at home in my sweats, binging 80s movies, my dad begs me to go to Carlton with him for moral support as he presents my much younger sister to their unmated Alpha.

We end up barging into his clan meeting— completely awkward, to say the least. But not as awkward as when I realize he’s my fated mate.

When he tells me his bear knows we’re destined to be together, we can’t help but give in to the fire between us. But he deserves to know the truth: I can never give him an heir, so it will never work.

Until, weeks later, I see the impossible: A pregnancy test with two lines.

Bear’s Midlife Surrogate by Meg Ripley

Posted June 2, 2022 by Marsha in ARC, Booksprout ARC, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Seasoned Romance, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

At 41, I never imagined I’d be signing a baby contract.  Or that the father would be my one true mate.

My ex gambled away my kids’ college funds along with my dreams of starting a business.  After putting everyone else first for the last 23 years, nothing will stop me from making my dream a reality.  So when a bear posts he’s looking for a surrogate, as crazy as it sounds after having three grown kids, I know this could be the ticket to getting my food truck off the ground.

I loved being pregnant and I know what to expect, but when I meet Evan at a coffee shop, my bear’s buzzing, and it has nothing to do with my latte.

The man I’m sitting across from is my mate.  And he wants us to start a family. Together.

Raising another cub was never part of my business plan. Until we end up making it the old-fashioned way.
