Cameron knew it was a setup before he and his sister Caitlynn got there. It was supposed to be a hit to take Cattie out. Cam being there was just a bonus. Had they been entirely human, the explosion would have killed them both. With them both being critically injured, they were taken to a private clinic owned by Jake and Forrest. To the world they would appear to be dead, at least until Cattie could put together who was out to get them.Rick wasn't sure what he was supposed to be doing here. He'd been asked by his buddy and longtime friend, Forrest, to come by his house-he had a gig for him. Rick hadn't had a gig of any kind for years now and getting a call from Forrest out of the blue, like it had been, couldn't have come at a better time.Cam had many abilities. One he felt was somewhat of a curse. He was so in tune to everyone else, like an empath he felt what they felt, so much so that he couldn't separate his own feelings from theirs. Because of this, he avoided ever having a relationship. Being an elite shifter, Rick wasn't confused. As soon as his fingers brushed Cam's at the kitchen table, he knew they were mates, and he was about the rock Cam's world.

Ivy Walton loved her job as a surgeon but hated her boss. What part of "I'm on vacation" couldn't the woman understand? She'd just lost her house to a fire, and she needed this time away with her sister. They'd been on their way to the coast when Ivy's car broke down, and this little town they'd found for repairs was a breath of fresh air. Ivy found the non-hectic life of a small town to be appealing to her raw nerves. Adam Whitfield was a farmer and, like his brothers, a Bengal tiger. He had just purchased his grandparents' home and was putting on the finishing touches. The home was large, too large for a single man, but he liked it. Furniture was still sparse, but he figured he could add to it in time. When Adam met Ivy at a family dinner, he knew instantly who she was to him. But could a renowned surgeon be happy with a simple farmer? He hoped so. He hadn't been looking for his mate when he found her, but now that he had, he wasn't letting her go. If she went back to the city, he'd go too whether she liked it or not.

Wyatt (coming soon) Hailey Whitehead was on the trip back home and everything was going as planned until a brief stop for lunch changed everything. The guy came into the diner waiving a gun and shouting orders and Hailey shot him. Hailey knew what would come next, so when the cops arrived, she was on her knees with her pistol dangling from one finger and her permit to carry in the other hand. What she hadn't counted on was an overzealous cop cuffing her too tight and leaving her on her own for far too long. By the time Jules Stanton discovered her predicament, she had nearly bled out. Wyatt had performed the surgery on her wrist and he was worried that she would lose the use of her hand. He asked Dane to help her out with a few drops of her blood, but that didn't go as planned either. Haylie had an unexpected reaction to Dane's blood, and when she woke up, not only was she healed, she was no longer entirely human. She was having the worst week of her life, and the Stantons "helping" her was only making things worse. She just wanted them to leave her alone. Now Colton, another Stanton, was telling her that she was his mate? The last thing she needed was a man ordering her around. Not no, but hell no

The only thing they had in common was their looks, they were identical. James, although first born and immortal, didn't inherit the dragon gene and had held that over Griff's head their entire lives. Anything Griff got, James felt it should be his instead. Griff found his mate, Lilac, by chance. She had just barely escaped James's evil clutches, and the moment she saw Griff she was terrified that they were one and the same. Lilac was a water faerie, and daughter to the queen of faeries which made her queen of the water, but that was a secret she would have to keep to herself. That knowledge in the wrong hands could spell disaster, especially if James found out. Lilac was slow to trust, but Griff made it difficult not to love him. And when Griff suddenly disappeared, would he be able to forgive her for holding such a secret? Trust worked both ways and that was one huge secret.

18+ Erotic Shapeshifter Romance, fantasy romance, paranormal fantasy The Manning Dragons Cooper Hudson Lincoln Lucas Tristan (Coming Soon) Xavier (Coming Soon) Micky had been alone since her fianc had taken his own life, just days before they were to be married. The note he'd left had put all the blame on her. It was in his handwriting, but she wasn't so sure that it was a suicide. She had her suspicions that it was staged to look that way, but the police were in a hurry to close the case and that was the end of it. So, Micky had packed up and moved to a small town in Ohio, took employment as a cashier in a grocery store, and kept to herself. She liked it better that way. No one else would die because of her. Lucas Manning hated hospitals. His dragon hated hospitals even more. Only days after becoming an immortal, during a bank robbery, he took a bullet to the chest. By all rights, he should have died. His doctor told him he was under too much stress as well and if he didn't do something about it, immortal or not, he could be in some serious trouble. Taking the doctor's advice to heart, Lucas decided to make some serious changes in his life. Eating healthier was a smart change, so he went shopping. When the man put his things on the line she was in, Micky told herself that she was going to quit at the end of her shift. There wasn't any point in working much longer. And the sooner she got moved, the sooner- She realized that the man was staring at her oddly. "I'm sorry. Did you say something to me?" He shook his head and she started ringing up his things. A health nut came to mind when she rang up salad makings, coconut milk, and vitamins. When she was finished and told him how much it came to, he stared at her as if he'd never seen a woman before. "Are you all right?" "I am now. What's your name?" She pointed to her name badge, thinking that he was off his noodle. "My name is Lucas Manning, and you're my mate." Micky could have gone her entire life without those words.

The winged man standing guard had not left her side since she'd been brought in, and the fact that no one else could see him gave her the willies. The man robbing the diner where Jenny worked had shot her in the leg, and then she had killed him with his own gun. It was kill or be killed, but the local authorities hadn't seen it that way-until now. They were releasing her and as of now she had no job, and no home to return to. Valyn the Slayer was just tired. He had just one desire, to be put to sleep for an eternity. Ever since he'd lost his small charge, the simple act of living seemed too much for him. He had only looked away for a moment, now she was gone, and he blamed himself. And now "Boss" was telling him his mate was here.... "She's a lovely girl. Broken too, if you want to know the truth of it. Perhaps you've heard her mentioned. She's the woman that saved that diner full of patrons about a week ago." He'd heard of it but didn't know her name. "The bill collectors are hounding her hourly. However, they are not putting the calls through to her room at the hospital for fear of upsetting her. She's made some very good friends while staying there." "What happened to her?" Boss told him what she'd done and how she'd been shot. "And the bill collectors? Why are they hounding her? I'm assuming that she has debt, but it's more than that, isn't it?" "Yes, she's now homeless and jobless. Also, with this other business of the credit card, there is no way that she can make anything work out right for her. Not without a great deal of help." Valyn sat down on the wire wheel that had been left behind when the house had been rewired. "Valyn, you told me that you were broken and why you thought so. But this woman, she can help you in ways that I cannot." "You could if you would just put me to sleep." Boss shook his head. "What if I don't go and see her? Don't take her as my mate? Because I don't think my life could be any better to have her with me. I'm not good around people anymore. I don't want to have someone depending on me for their wellbeing. It's too much."
