About this listen
Sam has watched his buddies go through the mate bonding process, and he couldn’t be happier for them. Really. He can’t help the little twinge of jealousy, though. He’s been waiting a long time to find his mate, and he’s more than ready.
Presley Gray grew up in an authoritarian household run by her father, a fire and brimstone preacher in the small religious enclave of Macon’s Edge. Now that she’s free, she feels a little like a calf that’s just learning to stand on its own.
When Sam finally comes face to face with Presley, he is overjoyed and relieved to have finally found her. His mate. There’s only the small problem....
She’s already dating his cousin.
In Burden, Texas, bear shifters Hawthorne, Wyatt, Hutch, Sterling, and Sam are livin’ easy.
Beer flows freely; pretty girls are abundant.
The last thing these good ol’ bears are thinking about is getting hitched.
Until fate comes knocking....
Warning: This book is not intended for listeners under 18.
This is a steamy paranormal shifter fantasy romance series with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It’s for lovers of paranormal, urban fantasy, shapeshifters, contemporary, and, of course, spicy, sizzling, hot romance. Fans of Zoe Chant, Terry Bolryder, Harmony Raines, Kim Fox, and T.S. Joyce may like this shapeshifter series.

Sky Broussard has spent the last nine years of her life fighting for custody and raising her nephews. Between trying to make ends meet as a waitress at the Bon Temps Café, and keeping an eye on two troublesome teens, she’s had zero time for indulgences like romance. No worries, she hasn’t been interested in the opposite sex for a long time. Not until she meets the snarling, growling, hotter-that-an-inferno hunk who caught her nephews trespassing on his swampland deep in the Louisiana bayou.

Tate is not the sort of neighbor you can ignore. Especially when he walks around half naked for all the world to see. I can't help that I got a weak spot for bad boys. But that was before I became a single mom, and I’m not so weak anymore. Besides, Tate lights my temper without even trying, and I swear he enjoys teasing me. Well, two can play at that game, and I think it’s time someone teaches him a lesson.

Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

I’ve just got out of prison and I’m running from my MC, so my stepsister’s best friend has agreed to drive me across the country. Summer’s my ride. That’s all. But she captivates me, and I don’t have a damn clue why. She’s a distraction I can’t afford. Is it because I’ve been told she’s forbidden? Is it because she’s preppy and freakin’ beautiful, so not a part of my world? With every mile of our trip, every spark of connection, she seems to inch closer to me. The temptation is too much to resist.
