Smokejumper and wolf shifter Carl Jensen falls hard when his parachute is blown over a ridge by freak winds, then falls harder for Michelle, the pretty rancher who rescues him when he’s badly injured during his crash landing.
When Carl coaxes a kiss from her tempting lips, his wolf demands that Carl claim her as their fated mate. In that instant, Carl realizes he must find a way to stay with her and woo his woman.

But when an evil bear shifter threatens Michelle, Carl must set aside his plans for a slow seduction.

Now that he's found his true mate, he’ll fight to the death to protect her.

Can she resist the sexiest man she’s ever seen?

Michelle Hernandez came to the mountains of Colorado to heal her broken heart. After a bitter betrayal and divorce, she’s sworn off men. On her Rocky Mountain ranch, she cares for the younger brother she’s taken in. Together they try to keep her business afloat.

Not easy when something—or someone—keeps ruining her fences and attacking her livestock.

Or when a handsome, rugged smokejumper crash-lands on her ranch and needs a place to recuperate. Michelle tells herself she can resist the wolf shifter even though he’s the sexiest man she’s ever seen. She’ll keep her distance and ignore his promise to protect her.

But when Carl claims her lips, her world tilts. Can she take a chance on a wolf shifter who promises forever?

Hard Landing is the first book in an exciting new series about an elite all-shifter team of firefighters!

( 50 )

$4.99

She wants him as her fake fiancé. He wants her as his mate. Will their pretend engagement end in disaster?
Jaguar shifter Esteban "Steve" Lopez is a smokejumper, an elite firefighter who risks his life parachuting into rugged terrain to fight dangerous wildfires. When his grandmother pleads for help in fending off his rapacious older brother Aarón, who is plotting to take over the family business by having her declared incompetent, Steve vows to save her. But good lawyers are expensive, and being a firefighting hero doesn't pay nearly as well as corporate raiding. If he's going to save his beloved abuelita, Steve needs an infusion of cash. Fast.
Enter successful entrepreneur and fellow jaguar shifter Maggie Ornelas. The dark-haired pastry chef is fearless and fiercely independent. She's spent her life successfully dodging her family's matchmaking efforts…until her heroism during a harrowing rescue from a raging forest fire makes the national news, and draws unwelcome attention from her clan elders.
Ambushed by her parents and the clan matriarch at the grand opening of her newest top-tier bakery in Denver, Maggie's handed an ultimatum: either repay her clan's big business loan, or agree to an arranged mating to Aarón Lopez, the heir to a rival jaguar shifter clan—and someone Maggie loathes.
All seems lost until a knight in a yellow firefighter's shirt steps up save her with a white lie about being her boyfriend. Even better, smokejumper Steve Lopez is Aarón's younger brother, so her parents instantly approve of him. Maggie offers Steve a bargain he can't refuse—if he's willing to pretend to be her fiancé until she can scrape together the loan repayment, she'll pay for the lawyer his grandmother desperately needs.
Things get complicated when Steve realizes that Maggie's his fated mate, and that he wants to claim her for real. Meanwhile, she's fighting her growing feelings for her fake fiancé because she's afraid that yielding to love—and her clan's wish to unite the Ornelas and Lopez jaguar shifter clans--will force her to sacrifice everything she's worked for.
Will their pretend engagement be the perfect solution to both their problems…or an utter catastrophe? This Bearpaw Ridge Firefighters spin-off romance features plenty of drama, a helping of steamy goodness, a dash of humor, and an HEA with no cheating.

A bear shifter with the heart of a hero

Dimitri Medved used to live in the shadows of New York high society. But his ruthless, unscrupulous parents poisoned everything they ever touched before they were caught and sent to prison. Trying to escape his past, Dimitri left New York City and started a new life in a small close-knit shifter community far from the glitter and corruption of the big city.

When Dimitri headed west to the wilds of Bearpaw Ridge, he traded his Armani business suit for the helmet and ax of a volunteer firefighter. After his first rescue, this protective, alpha bear shifter knew he'd found his true calling, and his true home.

All he lacks now is his mate. When he stops to help a woman stranded with her young daughter on the outskirts of town, he’s struck hard by Cupid's arrow. It's not just the woman’s fragile beauty, her lush curves or her delicate scent. His bear recognizes that Damaris is their fated mate. Add in her sweet, lively daughter, and Dimitri thinks he may have finally found the family he’s craved ever since he can remember.

Dimitri’s restless bear hungers to claim his mate. But his instincts tell him that Damaris has secrets...secrets that now threaten her and her daughter.

He needs to protect them both, but can he convince her to trust him before it's too late?

Damaris Markidis hides desperate secrets

Damaris works for New York City crime boss Tony "the Fixer" Rizzo. She lives in a world of shadows, vengeance and danger. The work she was forced to take is the job she can never leave.

No one suspects that the poised and perfectly polished Damaris is a lethal assassin. Tony’s hired gun. She possesses a special skill set. Her hits look like accidents even to the jaded, cynical cops of The Big Apple. Tony ruthlessly exploits the fact that single mom Damaris can't refuse his orders.

Not if she wants to survive and keep her young daughter safe.

So far, Damaris's hits have all been vicious predators. She's never taken down an innocent person. All that's about to change when she's tasked with a hit on Dimitri Medved, son of the notorious Medved banking family.

She's shocked to find herself falling for him at their first meeting. Hunky, kind, and protective, he's the man she's dreamed of. The man who could be the perfect husband and a tender father to her daughter. But with her past, she’s sure she doesn't deserve a man like Dimitri.

And Tony’s not about to let go of his best, secret weapon…
