Description:
Zac
Montclair's first priority is to protect his people. With the
escalating war between factions of shifters over land and resources,
he has agreed to an alliance between his polar bears and the
Shadowcat Nation of cougar shifters. But the treaty comes with a
condition…he must accept one of their Seers into his Timik and put
her under his personal protection.
Sarai
Bouchard doesn't need her supernatural gift to know that Kyle
Carstairs's obsession with controlling her ability will eventually
result in her misery and demise. Her power is essential to her
people's survival, so when Kyle goes rogue, she's sent to Zac
Montclair to keep her safe. However, her visions reveal that while
staying will lead to their becoming lovers, it also leads to his
death. Leaving Zac will result in her own.
If
Sarai can't find a way to change the future, she will be forced to
choose…save her lover or save herself.
Excerpt
Book 2:
Sarai
concentrated on precise, sharp movements with as much power as she
could muster. She’d only been working out for ten minutes or so.
She’d started the day similarly yesterday. She cooked breakfast,
eating with the guys. She dragged George and Scott on more
sightseeing trips. Today she’d decided to explore a small portion
of Central Park. She didn’t try to lose them this time. When they’d
got home, they’d hit the gym.
Now,
Sarai tuned out Scott and George—who were sparring across the way
from her—to focus on her own drills.
“How
about you try that out on a man who moves and reacts.”
Sarai
spun on her heel to find Zac standing behind her. He was wearing
running pants and a tight tank top, which meant she didn’t need to
use her imagination to picture the muscles of his arms and chest.
They were on display. Her own personal show. Sarai swallowed.
Then
she computed what he’d said. How was she going to get out of this?
The truth was she couldn’t spar. Her visions messed her up. But
that was a secret she had no intention of sharing with three people.
“Not
really a good idea.”
He
stared at her for a long moment. Then he glanced over her shoulder at
George and Scott who’d stopped to listen. “I’ve got this,
fellas. Why don’t you go back up to the apartment?”
There
was no doubt in her mind that was a command, not a suggestion.
Clearly the guys thought so too. She watched them leave the room with
wide eyes.
As
the door closed behind them, Zac’s hands landed on her shoulders,
turning her to face them. “Okay, kuluk. It’s just you and me now.
What are you not saying?”
Sarai
had never felt this vulnerable in her life. Or this scared. This man
got to her in a way no one else ever had. How was she supposed to
resist that?
“Why
is this so important to you?”
He
moved his hands from her shoulders to frame her face, his fingers
threading through the dark blond strands of her hair. “Keeping you
safe is important to me. I need to know how much you can defend
yourself if you have to. It will help me determine just what I need
to prepare for. No surprises. Okay?”
Sarai
took a deep breath. He couldn’t have meant it that way. Just the
thought of being important to this big, strong man connected with the
frightened, lonely little girl who’d spent her life just trying to
survive. But she couldn’t think that way. She had to leave him, and
that knowledge made her want to cry.
Seeing
her hesitation, he brushed her cheeks softly with the pads of his
thumbs. “Let me help you with this burden,” he murmured softly,
his voice a hypnotic, deep rumble.
Sarai
bit her lip. Sharing this with him really wasn’t that big a deal.
She knew she could trust him.
On
a deep inhale, she gave a tiny nod and started talking before she
could change her mind. “Okay.”
He
gave her one of those rare little half-smiles, making her suddenly
very glad she had agreed to capitulate. Thankfully, he released her
and stepped back, giving her room to breathe.

Description:
Andromeda
Reynolds is being hunted. After witnessing her mother’s violent
death at the hands of a pack of wolf shifters, Andie has devoted her
life to protecting her community of cougar shifters from a similar
fate. But now, a greater threat lies within her own dare, and she
must run. If she stays, Kyle Carstairs will force their mating,
seeking the added political power their union would provide.
Andie
would rather chew off her own foot than end up with Kyle. Though,
knowing him, she won’t live long either way. Andie’s only hope of
survival is to mate Jaxon Keller, the Alpha of the Keller Dare with
which she is seeking asylum. But before she can get to him, Andie
must first go through A.J., one of the Alpha’s Protectors.
What
Andie doesn’t realize is that A.J. has secrets of his own. All
Andie knows is that the incredibly frustrating shifter insists on
challenging her story, her skills, her trust… and her heart.

Excerpt
Book 1:
He
glanced down at her. “You really are a tiny thing, aren’t you?”
Andie
scowled. “Don’t let my size fool you. I can pack a wallop when I
want to. Even with a broken arm.”
A.J.
laughed. “I’m sure you can.”
Andie
stared straight ahead, her mouth thinning. She hated being
patronized. Men were so dense sometimes. They never took her
seriously until she showed them exactly why they should.
Keeping
her left arm protected, Andie suddenly dropped. One leg shot out and
she spun low to the ground, sweeping A.J.’s feet out from under
him. As he landed on his back, she was on top of him, her knee on his
windpipe—not crushing, just sending a message.
Before
she could gloat too much, though, she was flying through the air.
Andie tucked into a back flip, landed on her feet, and then spun and
launched herself backwards in a one-handed back handspring. A.J. had
just gotten on his feet when her legs wrapped around his neck. She
used her momentum to drop him back to the floor.
Andie
rolled and ended up in a crouch close by. A.J. held up his hands in
surrender. “All right, wildcat. You’ve proved yourself.”
Andie
glared at him. “Don’t doubt me. And don’t insult my
intelligence by pretending you just lost either,” she said in a
severe voice, made harsher, perhaps, by the fact that she’d just
realized exactly how incredible his blue eyes were. They were a
vibrant color made even more interesting by the black ring that
rimmed the irises. And she was more than irritated with herself for
having noticed that at all.
He
levered himself up off the floor. “Fair enough.”
The
only thing that kept her from proving her point more—because she
could tell he’d held back—was the small amount of respect she
could see in his eyes. With a brusque nod, she followed him down the
hall.
