Lica Frazier and his five brothers had a rough start in life. Their mother, only half wolf, and their father, human, the boys shouldn't have been able to shift. The fact that they could was a secret they kept closely guarded from their parents.Now grown, although financially poor, the Frazier boys had made a respectable name for themselves. Their current Alpha was looking to retire and wanted Lica to take over the pack as the new Alpha. Brandy Connor had a bone to pick with Lica Frazier. He'd upset one of her employees, and she needed to get to the bottom of it. Lica knew instantly that Brandy was his mate, and he wasn't happy in the least that he'd found her. She was human, and his parents were a good enough reason to dislike humans... Brandy didn't know what his problem was. She didn't care for him much, either...

Saul Tate was just ready to get home and rest. This trip had zapped all his energy, and he just wanted to crawl into his bed and sleep for a year. He was a shifter and never got sick, but he hurt all over. Was this what it felt like to get the flu? If it was, it sucked. Saul woke to the sweetest little girl, Lynn, sitting next to his bed in the hospital, staring at him. It didn't take him long to realize that her mother, Chalina, was his mate. He had found his mate, and he now had a daughter. Saul couldn't be happier. That happiness, though, was short-lived. Lynn was doing a complete 180. The sweet little girl was gone, and in her place was a rude, selfish, and vengeful nine-year-old not only fighting with him but putting her mother through hell. Saul was at his wit's end....

Fowler had no desire to take over as king of the dragons, at least not yet, anyway. His grandmother, the former queen, was pressuring him into taking a mate. He didn't need a mate, and that was that. Amy hated rich people with a passion. If she wasn't forced into going into this lunch meeting with the Walshs, she wouldn't. And she certainly wasn't going to be forced into eating a hamburger she didn't order by some handsome, arrogant prick. Enough was enough; she was out of there, and when he grabbed her arm, all bets were off...

Barton Strong thought seeing Tessa would be a good distraction. Boy, was he wrong. The woman was a slob, and all they did was fight. She had to go, and Barton was swearing off women. He was happier with his own company. Toria Davies lost her husband to cancer after only sixteen months of marriage. Her son, Sherman, was all she had left of that relationship, and the young boy had been through a lot. Kidnapped at four, he had a fear of all men who weren't immediate family. The senior Barkley Strong wanted Toria to merge their finance companies. It could be a win-win situation for both. But when a disgruntled customer threatened her mother and upset her son, Barton stepped in and calmed the boy. Shermie went straight to him. She didn't like Barton, but her son did. Now, what was she going to do?

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.

McCullough's Jamboree 1.Colin 2.Parker 3.Dustin 4.Larson 5.Boyd 6.Hawkins Hawkins McCullough didn't like his life. Army was his life, he lived and breathed it, but he wasn't "regular" army. His life was filled with one covert mission after another and he was tired of it. He had done so many awful things in the name of "justice" that he felt he didn't deserve to be happy. He felt broken and unredeemable. Jamie had always loved children, and this small infant crying out to her broke her heart. These children were on their way to a baby farm and she was determined to stop this from happening. There was no way she would allow these babies to grow up the way she did, as a lab rat, not as long as she had breath left in her. "I have to go. No, I'm going to go now. I only stuck around here to find the babies." Lauren stepped in front of her. "Do you have a death wish? I would have thought someone with your obvious training would know not to stand in front of a dangerous bullet." "Is that what you are? Dangerous? I'm not so afraid of you. More that I'm afraid of what they did to you." Jamie put up her hand and morphed it into a gun. Then a sword. And again, she turned her hand into a monster, long claws and all. "Nope, not going to work. You're his mate, and that means something to this family." "Well, it means shit to me." Hawk never thought in a million years that he'd be happy to find his mate, nor would he have believed that she'd be more powerful than he was. Jamie was just more....

Parker 3. Dustin 4. Larson 5. Boyd 6. Hawkins (Coming Soon) Boyd lost his mate before he'd really found her. He found her in college, but his studies were important too. He figured he'd have plenty of time to meet her, after his exams. But a tragic car accident robbed him of his future before it had begun.... At least that is what he had always believed. Reilly was just trying to make ends meet. She wanted to get through the day with her slimy boss keeping his hands to himself. But when she got the call from the hospital that her dad had been in an accident, she had to go. Her boss had other ideas. The pileup on the freeway had Boyd working overtime. All the injured had been coming into the hospital in droves. He had treated so many patients that he was just exhausted. When he stepped out for a breather, he saw her. She was the sexiest woman he'd ever seen, and when he approached her, her scent had his senses in a whirl and his cat reacted. The word mate flashed through is mind. But that couldn't be right, it had to be lack of sleep making him think that.

The wedding had been the most beautiful one that he'd ever been to. Marica, the newest Archer in the family, had been a lovely bride. And the way that she looked at his brother Sherman when they were walking around the reception area made him think that there couldn't have been a couple more in love than the two of them. It sort of made him jealous when he saw them. However, Darrel didn't want the same thing for himself. Jealously was one thing. Having a wife and family wasn't for him. Not now, anyway. Caitlyn Snow wanted justice, not handouts. Her brother was brutally murdered four years ago, and his body came up missing the same day. Everyone knew her cousin Susan did it, but without a body, they couldn't make the charges stick...

Rage. An uncontrollable and insatiable rage consumed Nash Sheppard. He was being a prick, and he didn't care who he took his anger out on. Sunny Nettles was barely earning enough at the small diner to keep the lights on, much less keep food on the table. And some prick comes waltzing into the diner, spouting orders to keep her mouth shut? She had had enough...

A home invasion took Toby Hayden's family, all but her grandfather, away from her when she was seven. After the horrors she'd witnessed that day, Toby trusted no one. Sebastian Gerald had recently lost his wife and child from a mob hit meant to get his attention. He had turned down their "job" offer, and they were coming for him. Laying low was the prudent thing to do. When a man came into the bar looking for someone related to a man named Anderson, Toby knew the family, but there was no way she'd give the stranger any information. When he put his hands on her the first time, Toby warned him not to do that, but when he put his hands on her again, it was the last warning...

Murray was wrapped up in trying to solve the mess that his parents found themselves in. In essence, the town was trying to steal their home. A few minutes after speaking with Lander, a Rosie Thimble called his phone. She was taking charge of this shit storm, and heads were going to roll. When Rosie got out of the car, Murray introduced himself. The moment that he touched his hand to hers, he felt a feeling roll over him akin to his skin being set on fire. Not only his skin but where her fingers were touching his. He could feel the iciness of her anger like it was his own. Closing his eyes to the onslaught of not only her anger but every memory that she'd ever had. He could only wonder what she was getting from him...

From the moment Amy found out her brother was running for the presidency of the United States, she moved out of the family home and changed her last name. She loved her brother, but she didn't love the limelight. All she wanted was freedom. The freedom to live her life the way she wanted without being in the shadow of the Secret Service all the time. Taking pictures was her passion, and that's what she would do, and no one would stand in her way. Amy had taken a lot of great shots of the animals at the zoo, but if one more person asked her if she had permission to be there, she would scream. She just about had her camera in focus when another zoo employee approached her. He introduced himself as Dr. Dallas Dixon, and instead of being upset with her, he wanted her to take some pictures of a gorilla who had just given birth, but the baby wouldn't live. It didn't take long for Amy to realize that Dallas was a shifter and silverback to his troop. "You're the silverback. The leader to her. I don't know how that works, but you're a shifter. Gorilla shifter and leader. That's why that other man said that you could order her to do-Christ, oh mighty. Oh fucking no." She turned her entire body and looked at the man sitting not ten feet from her. "You are not telling me that you have it in your impossibly small mind that I'm whatever they call a silverback's mate, are you? No. Don't answer that. I don't need to, nor do I want to know."

Shiloh Golden and his five brothers were the first of their kind. Born leopards, they were blessed with the magic of being the first leopard shifters. Morgan, their mother by proxy, raised them to blend in with humans and to be good men. Blessed with immortality, they all lived together on Morgan's Leap, a sanctuary for all nature. As a warrior fae who had been around for ages, Rocky never thought she'd have a mate again. She didn't quite know what to expect from Shiloh. She never loved her first mate, but somehow this time would be different....

Maddy was on the run. She was a single mother raising a set of beautiful triplets-very gifted triplets. Her brother wanted the kids for their talents and would kill her to get them. Gibb Cross fell in love with the kids even before he met their mother. He wanted to love her, too, but Maddy was having none of it. It took a lot to make Gibb angry, but Maddy seemed to know which buttons to push....

A wet washcloth was handed to Alistair and he slapped it none too gently on the back of her neck. She tried to lift her head and he pushed her back down and glared at his brother. He had to take his anger out on someone, and he was the perfect target for it. "You had to scare her off on the first day, didn't you? You just couldn't stand the fact that you didn't know that Colette wouldn't work for you and that I'd found you suitable help in the meantime." His brother started to speak, but Bronwyn lifted her head again and he shoved her back down. "You should be horse whipped." The shrill whistle made him leap from Bronwyn. He'd heard men whistle like that, but never a woman. He smiled at her when she stood. Damn, but this girl had spirit. "You will not shove me around like an old, unwanted piece of furniture." Ryland told her to sit down and shut up and she stepped close enough to him to touch. "And I am not a dog to be ordered about like one either." She stomped to the elevator again. Bronwyn didn't need this crap and she certainly didn't need it from a bunch of rich pricks that seemed to be out to make her life worst than it already was. She stepped off the elevator and headed for the door. No way was she working for these idiots. Ryland tried his best to tell the woman what she was going to do but she thwarted him at every turn. When he found her living in one of his abandoned warehouse set for demolition he nearly went through the roof. Until he saw her in action, using powers that he'd never seen before. Then nothing could keep him from her. She was his mate, someone he was sworn to protect. But it didn't work out that way. She was the protector and he was man enough to realize it, and none too soon because the men after her were playing for keeps and Ryland was afraid his streak, his family of weretigers were going to need all the help they could get from her.

He leaned down to her, and she felt his hot breath on her lips and licked them. "Tell me to leave you now, Molly. Tell me or I'm going to kiss you." Her breath seemed to sear her lungs, her heart rate had tripled, and she could feel her body getting ready for him. A stranger, she kept telling herself, and it did little good. She wanted him as much as she needed her next breath. Even as breathless as she was, she told him to leave. "Too late." His mouth took hers almost as soon as his words left his mouth. Not in a simple kiss as she had expected but a taking... Randy Atkins is ready to uproot his life and see the world. All his brothers are happy and settled with mates and children.

Mary's dying wish is for Molly to live, not just survive. She wants her to live, have a home, husband, and children...not just exist as she has been. Molly doesn't know quite what to think of the indecisive Randy Atkins. He tells her that they're better off if he stays away from her, but no matter how hard Randy tries he can't avoid the beautiful vixen. One taste and he's hooked... Molly's in too deep, and the sniper's not finished with her yet. Now they have Randy... Can she put the clues together to find him before he meets her sister's fate?

Thad moved slowly. For as much as he wanted her to tell him what was going on, the need to touch and be touched by her was driving him over the edge. Her scent, too, one he was sure didn't come from a bottle or from soap. This time when he pulled her to him he didn't let her pull back. "I want to taste you. Then I want to take you upstairs and fuck you. What better way to spend a hazy afternoon than getting sweaty between the sheets." She pushed at his chest, but he didn't let her go. "If I'm barking up the wrong tree, Nurse Ericks---" "I don't bark, Mr. Galloway, I howl. And I'd appreciate it if you'd simply back the fuck up.

He wasn't used to people not doing what he wanted and she...intrigued him.

Logan Douglas was bored. Everyone seemed to have something to do, a purpose, except him, and he didn't know what to do about it. He needed to get out of town or get a life before he killed somebody.

"Is it her?" Khan didn't turn, but shook his head. "Are you sure? Because you smell like her, and if what you say is true, then you won't mind if Caitlynne and I take her back to Washington with us." Khan didn't remember moving or that he'd taken Walker to the ground. He was just suddenly over him with his hands around his throat. When he realized what he was doing, he let him go and stood up.

If you do, it will cause you problems, and I don't believe you need any more of those right now, do you?" She shook her head and looked back at Dylan. The man had a chest that just screamed to be licked. When he winked at her, she flushed. Then thought of shooting his dick off. "Not nice. What will I do with you if you do that?" She flushed more when she caught images of them together in the big bed, and looked at the bed. She knew that he was doing that and tried not to think how enjoyable it would be. His low growl had her looking at him again. The room tightened, and she had a feeling that all the air had been sucked out of the room.
