Beast Within: a Bonded fantasy #2

They were an unlikely yet perfect match: the combat champion and the pampered pearl. Vyur gives Freezha everything she ever dreamed of in the bedroom. She revels in her new sexuality, pushing her shapeshifter farther every day. She thinks she wants everything he's got. But when your husband isn't human, asking for it all might come back to bite you.

Freezha is more than a pretty face, and she has set some very defined goals. First, no devouring with lizzeed teeth. Second, much devouring through touch. Preferably carnal touch, if she can loosen Vyur's legendary warrior's control. A public mating ceremony is looming soon, and they need more practice with both goals. There has to be a way for them to enjoy each other safely.

Vyur's mate was terrified and hurt by rowdy youth recklessly unleashing their battleforms. Now he will break several rules to heal her.

Alpha Within: a Bonded fantasy #3

To take her place at his side, she has to master the alpha within...

Dar hunted for the uniquely powerful bodymage for two years. Then the Snowcat Alpha discovers she is more than his Clan's last chance... she is his personal destiny. He is triumphant when he finally corners her and drags her back to their lair.

Luna is deeply familiar with what desperation does to people. She understands it can drive them into situations they know are wrong. So she doesn't blame Dar when his shapeshifter nature slips his rigid control. Their fiery connection surprised them both. But understanding with the brain doesn't always equal a peaceful heart, and she's not sure she'll be able to come back from seeing a monster in her bed. Somehow, Luna has to overcome her fear, because she has never wanted anything for herself the way she wants this brave man.

The Alpha's patience needs to heal the healer... before the whole Clan is lost.

Honor Within: a Bonded fantasy #4

Burke is one breath from breaking. At war with the inner mountaincat who stole his birthright in the wolf clan, he is a lone alpha, banished and distrusted. When he finds Nomi, a wandering soul uneasy in her guild, honor dictates that he stay far away from the woman who could be his mate. She can never be his, for to claim her requires he acknowledge the cat he despises. The balancing act between supporting Nomi and denying his cat shreds his already shaky control. Then Nomi decides to seduce him... and he fears they both will be lost.

She resists his dominance even as it makes her melt in the bedroom.

Enter the dragon...
None of that matters when Darkmage-sent wings shatter their world. Newborn love might seem fragile, but death's shadow makes it strong. They say that no man has survived such an injury before.
