They say survival of the fittest applies to the animal world. That saying couldn't be truer in the shifter world. After centuries of war and infighting, most of the weaker species have been murdered to the point of extinction. So when Wolf shifter Nico stumbles across a Rabbit shifter, he is both shocked and intrigued. That is, until the Rabbit manages to escape and disappear. Then Nico finds himself angry when his skills as a soldier are called into question... moreThey say survival of the fittest applies to the animal world. That saying couldn't be truer in the shifter world. After centuries of war and infighting, most of the weaker species have been murdered to the point of extinction. So when Wolf shifter Nico stumbles across a Rabbit shifter, he is both shocked and intrigued. That is, until the Rabbit manages to escape and disappear. Then Nico finds himself angry when his skills as a soldier are called into question. The only reason why Alger has survived so long is because of his ability to hide away from all things shifter and to blend in the human population. He ruins all that when, in a moment of weakness, he exposes himself to a Wolf of all things. Even though Alger knows he should run as far away as he can, he finds himself drawn to Nico. Which is the worst mistake Alger can make. Not only does he have himself to protect, but also his small group of shifters, who-like Alger-are the last of their kind. When Alger finds himself hunted by the dreaded Snake shifters, he knows his only hope is Nico. But can the pair put aside their inner animal instincts long enough to work together? Or will Nico eat Alger alive in more ways than one? less

Love or survival? Sometimes, the answer is a lot harder than it would seem. One thing’s for certain—having the names Wright, Justice, Salvation, Might and Defeat sucks, big time. Not only does it make them the butt end of jokes, but it also sounds like something a romance writer with an overinflated ego would name the characters of their books. Then again, subject 198′s children have little choice in any matters, let alone their names... moreLove or survival? Sometimes, the answer is a lot harder than it would seem.

Not only does it make them the butt end of jokes, but it also sounds like something a romance writer with an overinflated ego would name the characters of their books. Then again, subject 198′s children have little choice in any matters, let alone their names. Bred and born in a lab, they’re a mutation of shifter mixed with human. They are also the last secret the human government holds about the shifter world. The last thing they need is for Wright to spot a certain Wolf halfling—one that is so cute, Wright doesn’t even notice that Wolf walks with a limp and has worse asthma issues than a nerd from an eighties movie. Finding a mate is something his owners have forbidden Wright from ever doing. So just how does one go about leaving a branch of the government that doesn’t allow anybody to leave—that is unless they are in a body bag? less

Why does cupid always have the worst timing? Ever since he spotted the cute, yet vulnerable, Wolf shifter named Braxton, Wright has been determined to claim the younger man.

Wright isn’t about to let that stand in his way, though... moreWhy does cupid always have the worst timing?

Sometimes life’s little annoyances can become the things you love the most of all. Tyson—the Wolf had been nothing but an annoyance to Justice since he’d sought refuge with the Wolf pack.
