Shifters of Redwood Rise Series by Delta James

I’ve spent years keeping to myself. Just me, the woods, and the quiet that helps me forget everything I’ve lost. Then she showed up. Cilla Morgan, sweet smile, sugar-scented skin, and a stubborn streak as wide as the forest. I didn’t want a mate. Didn’t deserve one. But the bear inside me roared the moment he saw her. Mine. She doesn’t believe in magic. Doesn’t know what I am. But that doesn’t matter. Because I’ll protect her. I’ll claim her. Even if she runs. Even if fate has other plans... moreI’ve spent years keeping to myself. Just me, the woods, and the quiet that helps me forget everything I’ve lost. Then she showed up.

I came to Redwood Rise to track predator behavior. I didn’t expect to become the prey. After a messy divorce and stalled career, wildlife biologist Anabeth Cole is ready for a fresh start. But something is wrong in these woods, and the local mechanic, Beau Hayes, knows more than he’s letting on. Beau frustratingly charming, recklessly protective… and hiding something.

She came to hide from the disgrace. He just wants to pour her a pint. But fate’s menu has already paired them…. I’ve poured a thousand pints across this bar, but the night Quinn Samuelson walked into my tavern, everything changed. She’s all sharp edges and wounded pride, hiding behind a critic’s pen she swears she’ll never use again. Her ex stole her words, her career, and the trust she gave too freely.

She came to Redwood Rise to disappear. But my bear doesn’t see a broken woman. It sees my mate. Quinn doesn’t know that the tavern’s heartbeat runs deeper than good beer and small-town charm.

She notices things no one else can, the subtle shifts that could destroy everything I’ve built and the town that depends on it. She came here to hide. But I’m not letting her walk away. less

Lost to the wild. Found by fate. Six months ago, I vanished into the mountains and never came back. Everyone thought I was dead. But I survived, in a shadow realm where time twists and monsters whisper my name. I returned scarred, half-feral, and carrying something dark that followed me home. Now it hunts through the ley lines, and I’m the only one who can stop it… even if it means going back and never returning. Then Maren Rivers finds me... moreLost to the wild. Found by fate.

Now it hunts through the ley lines, and I’m the only one who can stop it… even if it means going back and never returning. Then Maren Rivers finds me. A wilderness photographer and nature documentary researcher, with fire in her eyes and a scent that wakes the man I thought I’d lost. My bear knows her, my mate, but the bond between us burns and breaks, as if the shadows want to claim us both. She believes we’re stronger together. I believe I’m too broken to keep her safe. But when the Hollow rises again, the only thing more dangerous than losing her… is letting her go. less
