𝐖𝐢𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡. 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐟-𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬.
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐬.

In one of his drunken stupors, my husband got into a fight and plunged off a bridge, leaving me to raise our two children on my own.

Fourteen years later, my son’s struggling to control his magic,
but I’m too busy keeping a roof over our heads to train him alone.

When he accidentally sets his bully’s locker on fire, it’s time to move in with my crazy old Aunt Lenora down in Carlton.

I land a waitressing gig at a brewery in town, and when I meet the head chef, his deep green eyes have me spellbound.

He may be a single parent like me, but with his bad boy looks and mischievous smile, I know he’ll be nothing but trouble—especially when I hear he’s a bear shifter, just like my dead husband.

His unusual name sounds strangely familiar, though.

Intuition tells me to pull the police report for my late husband’s case, but it burst into flames in my hands when I saw the name of the suspect:

The same one belonging to the man I can’t resist.

They were drawn to one another by an attraction that neither could comprehend. Nor resist.

Holden has come to Earth as one of the last of his kind. Dedicated to raising one of the dragon babies left behind by his slain queen, he must acclimate to this strange new planet in order to succeed. Humans prove to be odd creatures, but one blue-eyed beauty compels him in ways he’s never experienced. Their paths cross often, and he can barely keep his inner dragon in check when she’s nearby. The fierce need to protect her completely takes over, and he knows he must have her.

After a year of separation, Leah’s divorce from her cheating ex is final. She’s relieved, but finds the stress of everything has compromised her psychic abilities, which she relies on to keep a roof over her head. She knows she just needs time, and pushing forward with her new life as a single woman sounds like the perfect solution. But when she keeps running into the same mysterious, gorgeous stranger, Leah’s plan to write off men proves to be harder than she thought.

With her reluctance to start a new relationship and Holden’s secret, will these two find a way to be together as fate intends them to be?

I’m fated to the Alpha, but I can’t give him the one thing he needs:
An heir.

They say life begins at forty,
But when infertility led to my divorce, it seemed more like the end.
When I’d rather be at home in my sweats binging 80s movies,
My dad begs me to go to Carlton with him for moral support
As he presents my much younger sister to their unmated Alpha.
We end up barging into his clan meeting—
Completely awkward, to say the least.
But not as awkward as when I realize he’s my fated mate.
When he tells me his bear knows we’re destined to be together,
We can’t help but give in to the fire between us.
But he deserves to know the truth:
I can never give him an heir, so it will never work.
Until, weeks later, I see the impossible:
A pregnancy test with two lines.

🎅🐻🎅

A spinster snow leopard.
A heartbroken polar bear.
And the magical Christmas they’ll never forget.

They say you can’t run from your past, but that’s exactly what I did.
I was minding my own business, tending to my ranch, when an old Army buddy called me up.
After the hell I’d been through, he didn’t want me to spend Christmas alone,
So I agreed to head to L.A. and put on a damn Santa suit for his holiday party.
I knew it would be packed with strangers,
But I didn’t know one of them would turn out to be my mate.
Melody’s fiery hair and cat-like eyes had my polar bear standing at attention.
And when she sat on Santa’s lap, she got far more than a present.
Our bond is unmistakable, but there’s a catch.
Having cubs is totally out of the question for me, but it’s all she’s ever wanted.
When a baby’s dropped on the Force headquarters’ doorstep, the holidays turn dangerous.
But will this bundle of joy be the Christmas gift that keeps us from falling apart?

💖💖💖

A grizzly who’s in over his head.
A she-wolf with a troubled past.
And the secret that could end their future before it begins.

Levi
Between my duties as sheriff and Alpha, being a single dad is tougher than ever.
My son Owen deserves better, so something needs to change.
I turned to an app and found a single mom in the same predicament, looking to team up.
But little did I know I’d also found my mate.
My grizzly is roaring to claim her, but her story seems a bit off.
She and her son blazed into town with little more than the clothes on their backs.
I sense she’s in real trouble, but nothing will stop me from keeping her safe.
Because that she-wolf is mine.

Cassidy
My son Cody and I have been on the run from our pack for too long.
I even changed my identity to throw them off our trail.
So the chance to move in with a sheriff and take cover for a while was too good to pass up.
Our arrangement was meant to be temporary.
But the moment my eyes met Levi’s, my inner wolf knew he’d be mine forever.
As long as I can keep my little secret.
Because if the truth is brought to light, everything could be ruined in an instant.

Along with my dreams of starting a business.
After putting everyone else first for the last 23 years,
Nothing will stop me from making my dream a reality.
So when a bear posts he’s looking for a surrogate,
As crazy as it sounds after having three grown kids,
I know this could be the ticket to getting my food truck off the ground.
I loved being pregnant and know what to expect,
But when I meet Evan at a coffee shop,
My bear’s buzzing, and it has nothing to do with my latte.
The man I’m sitting across from is my mate.
And he wants us to start a family. 𝑇𝑜𝑔𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟.
Raising another cub was never part of my business plan.
Until we end up making it the old-fashioned way.

💥💥💥

After being ousted from his pack, Special Forces Weapons Sergeant Flint Myers has found a new sense of family in his Special Ops Shifter Force brothers. But ever the lone wolf, he still has a restless feeling gnawing at him, and he’s not sure how to quell it. Soon after he’s sent on a secret mission to infiltrate a pack in the Rockies, he realizes that finding a mate might be just what he needs to finally soothe the beast within—when he meets their Alpha’s alluring sister.

Audra Larson has just returned to her home pack with her little boy after a messy divorce, hoping to piece together a new life. But when her brother asks her to keep an eye on the newcomer, Flint, to make sure he’s not a spy, Audra’s wolf discovers he’s something entirely else: her mate. The last thing she needs is another man in her life at this point, so she does her best to focus on the task at hand.

When she happens upon Flint one night deep in the forest and overhears his phone call with the Force, Flint has no choice but to take her hostage. He must keep his cover and protect the integrity of the mission, but when tensions rise between these two shifters out in the middle of the woods, will they be able to ignore the howling of their inner wolves?

My husband sent pics of himself to every woman in Florida,
And once I caught on, it was time to divorce the pig.
I packed up the RV we’d planned to drive cross-country together,
And headed off on an adventure, all on my own.
I rolled to a stop in Carlton after finding a paramedic job,
But it felt like déjà vu when I met the hunky fire chief,
And a fiery blaze ignited between us instantly.
I can’t shake the feeling we’ve met before,
And when a medium unlocks the secret to my past with August,
This little midlife adventure of mine turns into a straight up freak show.
You see, even though he looks about fifty,
August is a six-hundred-year-old dragon.
And my husband from a past life.

Reid spotted a familiar figure in the kitchen, and he stepped up quietly behind her before wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her in tightly. “Hello there, Mrs. Sutton.”

Mali giggled as she put down her glass and leaned back into him. “Unhand me, you monster! I just got married, and I haven’t even had the chance to share my husband’s bed with him yet.”

“I certainly wouldn’t want to mess that up. I happen to know your groom, and he’s rather eager to put a cub in your belly.” Reid turned her around in his arms and nuzzled her neck. “You smell amazing.”

“We should get back outside,” she murmured even as she tipped her head to the side to expose her throat. “It is our party, after all. Everyone’s here to see us.”

Reid pulled back and looked down at his bride. She was beautiful, both inside and out. Anyone could claim they’d met by sheer chance, but Reid knew better. The universe had brought them together, just as they were meant to be.

Her eyes were suggestive. “I’m going to get my things and go to the hotel.”

“Okay. Let me just say goodbye and I’ll be right behind you.”

“No.” She put a finger on his chest, stopping him with the lightest touch. “I have a little surprise planned for you. Stay here and enjoy your family a little longer. You’ll know where to find me.”

After receiving several more congratulations and making excuses for Mali’s absence, Reid trotted out to the garage and headed across town. What kind of surprise would it be?

The first surprise was in finding the hotel room door shut, but not latched. He pushed it open warily, glancing down the hall to see if she’d stepped out to get some ice. “Mali?”

The overhead lights had been turned off, the room illuminated only by the candles that had been lit on every surface surrounding the massive bed. A tray of chocolate-covered strawberries sat next to an ice bucket and a bottle of champagne. She’d gone all out, and Reid couldn’t say he minded being romanced a little.

“Mali?” He moved through the suite, wondering where she’d gone. When he pushed the bathroom door open, he saw her suitcase on the floor. It’d fallen over, her clothes spilling out onto the shining marble. Reid’s heart raced.

As he straightened, he noticed a crimson smear on the corner of the bathroom sink. Reid’s bear went wild inside him. The instinct to protect his mate was a strong one, and something had definitely happened to her. He rushed back out of the bathroom to search the room for more clues and pulled out his phone to call his Special Ops Shifter Force brothers.

“I need your help. Mali’s missing.”

✨NEW FATED OVER FORTY RELEASE!✨

The fourth standalone book in my Fated Over Forty series is now available on Amazon! Check out Dean and Rebecca's story in Bear's Midlife Second Chance here: https://readerlinks.com/l/2367812

✨✨✨

“All right, guys. We’re need to air this place out.”

“Not until you air your dirty laundry,” her teen daughter replied with a grin. For once, the girl wasn’t staring at her phone. Not that it brought a lot of relief to Rebecca since she was staring at her instead. “Who was that firefighter?”

“You heard him say his name is Dean,” Rebecca grumbled as she fought with the lock on one of the windows.

“But who 𝑖𝑠 he?” Madison pressed. “I’ve never seen you stand there like a deer in headlights when you’ve talked to anyone else.”

Good god, was it that obvious? Was that why Dean had looked so amused? Running into him like that shouldn’t have been different from bumping into anyone else from high school, especially after nearly thirty years. “Just an old friend.”

“Like a friend with benefits?”

“Madison!” Rebecca whirled on her daughter, pulling her eyebrows down to look as fierce and angry as possible even though she was laughing inside. Somewhere in her mind, her little girl was still only five years old, and she shouldn’t know such things. “Don’t say that!”

“Hey, I’m just picking up the vibe you’re laying down,” her daughter reasoned as she leaned against the front counter.

“What you should be picking up is this store,” Rebecca retorted.

“You have to admit he looked pretty sexy in his uniform,” Claire offered, her gray eyebrows waggling.

“Mom!” Rebecca’s cheeks burned, but her mother was right. Time had done a few favors for Dean, and his wide shoulders seemed to easily hold up the heavy firefighting gear.

Claire put her chin in the air. “I’m no spring chicken, but it doesn’t mean I’m blind. Are you going to tell me you didn’t notice, Rebecca?”

Rebecca puffed up her cheeks and blew the air out through pursed lips. Yeah, she’d noticed. She’d absolutely noticed, but she wished no one else had. “I see how it is. I pick up my whole life to move back home and help you guys out, and you’re just going to be sassy with me.”

“He always was a nice young man,” her father said as he passed by.

Rebecca didn’t bother responding. She knew exactly what that comment meant, even if it was only a few words. They thought the world of Dean. They always had. He was a member of their clan. But it didn’t mean a single thing to her. She’d left that damn bear shifter and any interest in him behind a long time ago.

She was forty-six now. Just because she was back in Carlton didn’t mean she had to pick up her old life where she left off.

But holy hell. Dean could damn near set her on fire with that smolder of his. She’d obviously imagined what it might be like to see him around town. There would be a cordial exchange of pleasantries, and then she’d do her absolute best to avoid ever seeing him again. Now she had a text from him, just waiting in her pocket. Rebecca pulled it out, not wanting to leave that notification hovering over her head.

She selected the message and held her finger over the trash can icon. If she deleted his number, she had an excuse for not calling him.

But something made her hit the home button and leave the text—and his phone number—right where they were.
