Having brothers is detrimental to my sanity. One is safely tucked away on the mantel behind my desk, his face not quite what it should be on the urn. My twin? Sad story that. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, and girl marries a Shifter. My twin ran away. That leaves me to run the show and hunt down the Witches who just can't stop killing us. We are also at war with the Shifters, who killed my oldest brother, and by order of the Gods Council, I'm not supposed to set one toe in Shifter territory.

One day, I was a mild-mannered designer for a premiere superhero magazine. Turned down for a promotion yet again, I let loose years of repressed anger. That's how I got fired. Lesson learned. Now my career is as successful as my love life. But it's hard being upset when I storm out of the office and into the huskular man of my dreams. Sebastian is successful, confident, and the way he fills out those pants, it's basically a crime. Working as the art director for a rival magazine, I beg for him to look at my . . . ahem, portfolio.

For the first time in Gray’s life, he might be okay with that. Especially when an unexpected surprise changes everything.

I’m standing in an empty hall full of closed doors. Behind each one is an alpha I could bond with. I’ve never met any of them before. I don’t know their names. All I know is that they’re like me: a fox shifter without a family.

Revv and Chris live in Rixton, where Chris has tenure at a prestigious university and Revv has worked for his family business for over a decade. But Rixton is in Southern California and Gray is half-polar bear shifter. The summer heat is unbearable for him. Gray has lived in Anchorage his entire life, and he wants to stay.

Lottie is a wizard when it comes to data retention and storage. When it comes to her personal life? Not so much. She is clumsy and often gets stuck in her own head.

Add in their best friend, Colby, and Lottie is one confused Little.

Summer is a time of plenty, a time of excess. As the God of Summer, Cosmo has those in spades: Plenty of fear and an excess of guilt. Abandoned by a cruel and absent father, judged and despised by his siblings, Cosmo has actually felt safer in the cursed centuries since his brother’s tragic death, telling himself he’s happy without his family, mingling with the mortals in his care and enjoying all the joys of summertime. He performs his duties to shepherd the season, drinks and smokes and warms his bed with anyone willing. This time though, when he wakes, he comes face to face with his past.

Tonight I meet my mate. I don’t know anything about him, including his name. According to fox shifter tradition, my parents chose him for me. For the next month we’ll be living together in a remote cabin. That’s how fox shifters form a bond. We burrow with our intended for a full month of winter. My mothers say my new mate is kind, and he won’t mind that I don’t look like other omegas. But I’m nervous. What if he’s disappointed? Or even worse, what if he’s someone I could never bring myself to love?

Alpha Abraham spent long hours successfully leading The Southern Pack. His pack was happy and prosperous. He even had his Beta Liam to help him de-stress at night. If only they didn’t have to keep their love a secret. Omega Elijah came with his father, the alpha of the Western Pack, to make alliances and get a stronger connection with other wolves. He wasn't prepared to find his fated mated. And he definitely didn't expect to see his fated mate totally in love with his Beta.

This movie was supposed to be my big break. There’s an enormous budget, the director is an Oscar winner, and the script is beautiful. But they want to film it in February. That’s complicated for an arctic fox shifter like me. We have a biological need for prolonged physical contact during burrowing season. I normally spend February cuddling with my family, not filming a movie in the middle of the woods. The studio said they’d find a professional cuddler for me. That seemed a little awkward, but I agreed to it. I figured they’d hire a woman or another male omega. But no.

"I think that there's been some kind of mix up." That's my first clue that my stay in Lilac Harbor isn't going to go according to plan. There's been a mistake with my rental booking and now instead of having the charming little bungalow on the shore all to myself, I've got a not so charming roommate. Yates Warner. He's a grump in every sense of the word, but there's something about the guarded translator that tugs at my heartstrings. I'm determined to make the best of this situation, and who knows? Maybe my grumpy giant and I can even be friends.

Trust me, I find it ironic, too.

Gabe thinks he’ll never have a bond of his own. He’s bond-cut, which means his scent gland is so scarred, he can’t bond to anyone - not even his best friend, Marcus, who he’s been in love with for six years. Gabe spends every waking moment with Marcus. They co-own a tattoo parlor and share an apartment. It was Gabe who gave Marcus the vibrant bird tattoos all over his body.

The red wolf thrall brings grown men to their knees. All it takes is one look from an omega red wolf shifter, and men mistakenly believe they have found their fated mate. Kings have been dethroned, businessmen have lost fortunes, and heartless murderers have fallen helplessly in love under the curse of the thrall.

No one except Xander, the town's grumpy reclusive carpenter.

I need to have it surgically removed if I want to stop aching for a man who will never return. The cost of the surgery is $50,000. Being a surrogate would cover that.

Omega Riley scented his fated mate once, and the wolf ran away. Everything is going as well as it can, until his fated mate’s children walk into his classroom.
