A girl’s gotta eat—and so do her three cats.

For Hanna, working in the field she desperately loves provides the perfect opportunity to begin putting her life back together. Soon her cheese budget is in the black and her feline life partners are no longer eyeing her like a six-foot can of Fancy Feast. But when her boss's lady friends start turning up dead, Hanna finds herself in the cross hairs of a murder investigation. Even worse, hunky homicide detective James Morrison fears hers might be the next body he discovers. With the "help" of the gallery's quirky cast of resident artists, Hanna will have to hunt down the truth about Abernathy’s dark secret—before it hunts her.

So now you’re the Alpha. For neophyte werewolf Hanna Harvey, life is a wedge of triple crème brie. Sure, there’s a group of local Furries aggressively adoring her right there in the frozen appetizer aisle and the constant complaints from high maintenance boar shifters are making any kind of work-life balance utterly impossible, but at least she’s living happily ever after with her three cats and her man crush-worthy mate, Mark Abernathy... moreSo now you’re the Alpha. For neophyte werewolf Hanna Harvey, life is a wedge of triple crème brie. Sure, there’s a group of local Furries aggressively adoring her right there in the frozen appetizer aisle and the constant complaints from high maintenance boar shifters are making any kind of work-life balance utterly impossible, but at least she’s living happily ever after with her three cats and her man crush-worthy mate, Mark Abernathy. Only, Abernathy has been extra-broody lately and Hanna’s attempts to uncover the cause have driven him to become more distant. When Hanna’s plans to pull him out of his funk with a surprise birthday party result in a cryptid catastrophe, she has no choice but to go on the lam with ex-boyfriend, ex-detective James Morrison. Now a freelance paranormal private investigator, Morrison insists that Hanna’s life is in imminent danger, and the emergence of a powerful enemy from her past only solidifies his theory. Hunted by a murderous baddie bent on vengeance, Hanna will have to risk losing those she loves most if she wants to protect the world she’s worked to build as the Alpha Heir. less
