Defender of Slaughter Mountain by T. S. Joyce

Posted March 30, 2023 by Marsha in Owned, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Series, Shifters & Magic / 0 Comments

Kian McHurne has unpaired himself from his mate. He had to do it for reasons he never wants to admit out loud. He put her in the care of the new King of the Bear Clan of Alaska, in hopes that she could have a better life, and survive the war that is coming for her. Their pairing was arranged, and they never quite took to each other. It’s better to cut losses and move on if they’re to be in two separate Clans now. Too bad Fate has other plans. When he’s cast into the new Clan to fight for his life, he sees the mate he left behind in a new light. She isn’t anchored down anymore, and the new-found freedom has done her good. Her inner grizzly is fierce, and she will make Kian pay every chance she gets, but for him? He will secretly cheer her on.
She should be fierce.
She should learn to fight.
She should learn to never back down because he knows a secret the new Clan doesn’t know—and it could be the end of them all.

Grizzly shifter, Eryn Laraway, has been shamed. When a pairing fails in the Bear Clan, it’s an unspeakable thing to happen, and her mate has chosen to do just that. Caught between the urge to curl up in a ball forever, or fight like a wild animal until she feels steady again, Eryn must figure out what to do with her life now. When Kian shows up with big warnings for her new Clan, she begins to appreciate the man he could’ve been…if he wasn’t a big, dominant, brute of a grizzly shifter. He’s just like the others of the Old Clan…right? Their pairing was always distant, but now he insists on teaching her things that are strictly forbidden by the Old Ways. The more she gets to know her growing self, the farther away her old life seems to be, and for the life of her, she can’t decide if Kian will ruin what she’s building, or protect it.

Bear in Mind by Terry Spear

Posted March 13, 2023 by Marsha in Owned, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Series / 0 Comments

Grizzly bear shifter Amy Rutherford has special abilities where she can hear voices in her head—the thoughts and feelings of others—and she needs to get control of it. It started way before she nearly died in a car accident during a rainstorm where her parents perished, and she’s sure the crash wasn’t an accident. But nobody believes her. She can’t let go of what had happened, and storms bring on a case of Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. She was on a blind date while celebrating her sister and her husband’s anniversary and a storm rages overhead at the dance club. She’s assaulted by all the voices in her head until one stands out. A man is observing her, hiding his dark secrets from her, or trying to—and she’s not sure if he’s one of the good guys, or not.

Cedric Shader is a grizzly bear shifter and knows not to contact Amy the way he did at the dance club, instead of trying to meet her face-to-face first. But he senses her vulnerability and that she is experiencing psychic overload, just like he would when he was a kid. Now, he uses his ability to investigate murders, but the crime scene memories stay with him, though he tries hard to compartmentalize them, and he doesn’t want her to witness them. He told himself he is here on a job, not to become involved with a woman who has psychic issues. But she’s in trouble—and he’s certain she needs him to teach her how to cope. Worse, she believes someone had murdered her parents, and he’s beginning to wonder if she’s right. With a break-in at her apartment and a possible connection to the murder of her parents, they’re running out of time before the person kills again.

War Bear of Piston by T. S. Joyce

Posted March 13, 2023 by Marsha in Owned, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Series, Shifters & Magic / 0 Comments

Something terrible has happened to Foster. Ghosts from his Alpha’s past have used him as an unwitting pawn in their game of revenge. He is a werewolf who was forced to dig up something evil that has changed the makeup of who he is. His wolf has been replaced with a titan bear who has little memory of his past, and now Foster and his new shifter animal, Biergon, must go on an adventure to try and figure out where they belong. He can’t go back to Stryker’s Pack, but never in a million years would Foster have guessed he would end up in the wilds of Alaska, right in the middle of a war for power. And the craziest part about it? His new inner bear is the former King, and he has a mate waiting for his return. The bear Clans of Alaska exist in a completely different world than the one he recognizes, and all the rules are different…including the rules regarding mates. The bears in these Clans need to be taught some manners, and as Foster gets to know the fierce and beguiling queen he has been paired with, he begins to think he is exactly the shifter to do it.

A few months ago, Jaydah lost her mate, Biergon. In just a few short days, her mourning period will be finished, and she will be promised to another. But when she sees the stranger with Biergon’s eyes on the banks of her river, she knows something horrible has happened. There are legends of shifters switching animals, but she’s never seen one before, and now? Biergon is different. He is kinder and more protective. His new human side is making her feel like love matches do exist—but if she helps Biergon take his throne back, she will be punished for treason against the bears in her Clan who are fighting to be the new king. Until now, she has had no say in her destiny, but for the first time ever, someone…Foster…is listening to her. And if he can find it in his heart to grant her enough power, together they can change everything for her people.

Alpha Attacked by Eve Langlais

This wolf is biting the bullet of love.

Working in the ER, Maeve has seen some weird stuff, like the guy with numerous gunshot wounds who literally hops off the operating table and walks out. Which isn’t as strange as the people who claim they saw a wolf running out the main doors of the hospital. All par for the course on a full-moon shift.

What Maeve doesn’t know is she saved the life of the local Alpha.

Griffin is tough, and those who tried to kill him will regret their failure because he is now out for revenge. The problem is identifying the enemy. Is it the rival wolf gang over the river or a stranger trying to steal his Pack?

The answer appears to be tangled up with the doctor who operated on him. A woman with a delectable scent—and secrets.

What does Maeve have to do with the violence targeting his Pack?

And what will the sexy doctor say when she realizes he doesn’t just howl in bed?

Zombie Wolf of Piston by T. S. Joyce

Posted January 4, 2023 by Marsha in Owned, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Connected, Shifter Romantic Suspense, Shifter Series, Shifters & Magic / 0 Comments

He shouldn’t be here.

Reaper used to have a life, and friends, and a close-knit Pack. He was Stryker. Even if he was a War Wolf, his life made sense. When he died, something evil needed him to cheat death. A powerful storm is building around him because Reaper has been brought back to life for a nightmare destiny. He’s been controlled by an underserving Alpha before, and he is done being a pawn in the game of good and evil. From here on, Reaper will do whatever he wants.

Isa Moreau is his only anchor.

She is the only one who can save Reaper’s new Pack from him. She is the only one who can save Reaper from himself, but Fate sure is hard to fight, and especially for a she-wolf who is dropped in the middle of a battle she didn’t know existed.

She’s learning that there are two sides to the Zombie Wolf of Piston… One with the capacity to learn love, and one with the ability to destroy everything.

Reaper must choose between good and evil, once and for all, and he must protect a Pack that betrayed him to do it.

Witches, werewolves, and ghosts are pulling the Zombie Wolf in different directions, and no one really knows where he will land. 

Will he be a good Zombie Wolf? Or the Zombie Wolf everyone loves to hate?

Auxor Bane has made a pact. He and his brothers made a promise to each other that they would let their bear shifter lineage die off with them, for the betterment of mankind. They aren’t fluffy, and they aren’t cute. As one of the three remaining bear shifters alive, Aux struggles daily with the predator inside of him. His life is simple and manageable so long as he never breaks the rules enforced by his brothers. Rule number one: Never touch a human’s skin. Rule number two: never fall for one of the fragile creatures. Rule number three: never, ever let a human know what he is. But when he stumbles upon a car wreck in the remote Montana mountains, during the biggest snow storm of the year, he can’t just leave the stranded human to die. And in a series of unfortunate events that follow, he also can’t let her out of his sight if he wants to survive her.

Gwen Smithers had a plan. A great plan. A plan that will get her out of the stagnancy of her life and onto an adventure. This week was going to change her life, but in a split second on an icy road, all of her plans were derailed. Her rescuer is growly, and ill-mannered, and won’t show his face. And his eyes are such a strange color. But as she struggles to trust the mysterious mountain man, he’s revealing a strange and dangerous culture she never would’ve imagined existing. For the life of her, she can’t conjure up fear of Aux. Her human instincts must be broken because it’s becoming clearer and clearer…Aux isn’t the man she thought he was.

Rancher Dragon’s Unexpected Mate

Posted May 2, 2022 by Marsha in Owned, Sexual Content 18+, Shifter, Shifter Romantic Suspense / 0 Comments

A family starting over after being banished from paradise, their patriarch losing his life after being falsely accused of a crime committed by others. Brothers forged together by duty to protect and provide for their mother and sister. When the oldest brother, a cowboy lonely for love but content in the wilderness, is thrust into the spotlight by a Hollywood sweetheart, her secret might get them both killed.

Ellie Dampier
I was happiest on the big screen where I could be anybody until someone wanted me gone.  Falling props, flat tires, nasty notes in my trailer, I needed to get away, vanish – and my manager told me about Outdoor Outfitters.  The wilds of Colorado, specializing in losing yourself in nature, would be the perfect place to disappear and hope my stalker moved on.

And then I met him – the cowboy who made my toes curl.  Tall, dark, and so handsome I broke into a sweat.  The minute my eyes landed on him, I wanted him.  He was built tough. Rugged. Scorching.  His deep eyes awakened desires in me.  I’m used to any man I want, but he keeps himself at a distance.  But I was going off the grid with him – primitive camping.  I’m pretty sure we won’t need a fire with this heat he’s stirring up, but I don’t want to ruin it by telling him about my unwanted attention.  I just want all of his.

Colden Hale
I had planned on a weekend off the ranch with my brothers – Four bachelors looking for beer, boobs, and mechanical bulls.  I didn’t get out much, so I enjoyed every second when I did.  But then some Hollywood actress booked a last-minute excursion – and I volunteered to stay behind and take the job.  When I met her, passion flared and I didn’t regret a thing.  She wanted off the grid. I was happy to oblige as long as I was with her.

But I held back to find out if she’s real or just playing a part.  Her adventurous spirit made her all the more desirable.  Not even the cold winter weather prevented the heatwave.  I just wanted to warm her up, over and over again.  She’s soft and curvy, and I just know our bodies will be perfect together.  I just need to get her to the cabin and stroke the fire. That was my plan.  But things went a little sideways when she told me her secret.
