Curiosity never killed this cat, but love could have deadly consequences.

Sasha Soskoff has two reasons for moving to Chicago: secure a tenured position in veterinary research medicine, and widen his horizons. After a night at the city's hottest new club, though, a wrong turn down a dark alley narrows his focus to surviving three muggers. As consciousness fades, he catches a glimpse of his rescuer, whose mere appearance is enough to chase the attackers off.

Neal Harrison doesn't often have to call on his skills as a Marine to maintain control at his club. But with Sasha, he can't seem to keep his hands to himself. Yet there's danger in allowing any close relationships, particularly with a naÃ¯ve young newcomer. The safety of his business depends on the iron- clad secret he and his ex-Marine buddies all hide.

While Neal seems happy to satisfy Sasha's insatiable curiosity about the erotic scenes played out in the club's private rooms, Sasha senses his new lover is holding something back.

When the truth claws its way out amid a night of tribal blood and violence, Neal discovers his lover has a secret of his own. And that the forces arrayed against them all could make a mugging look like a walk in the park...

When you grab a tiger by the tail, sometimes he bites back.

Veterinary trauma surgeon and animal empath Sasha Soskoff has found everything he ever wanted with his new partners Neal, Steve and Carlos. Life feels as safe and secure as it can be among a group of ex-Marine tiger shifters - until a homeless man is found, gruesomely mauled and murdered, near Neal's BDSM club.

When it's determined a rogue tiger did the deed, the jaguars' accusing eyes turn toward Sasha's lovers. The precarious balance of peace tips dangerously toward war.

Neal knows damned well none of his tigers committed the crime. Someone must be in Chicago without his knowledge or permission, and they'd better find him fast before uncertainty and conflict rip the tight-knit band apart from the inside.

As Sasha struggles to heal the stress fractures forming among his tiger family, he begins to wonder if his dreams of a home, and love, were too good to be true. And it's precisely that moment the killer strikes at the heart of the tiger clan—Sasha himself.

When you're a former Marine tiger shifter, love comes with a high cost – is it too much to pay?

Mitchell Brayden is a former Marine who became a tiger shifter while serving overseas. He is looking for love in all the wrong places. When he decides to rescue a young ocelot shifter from a rich, spoiled playboy, he embroils himself in a conflict that goes back generations.

Guadalupe Salazar grew up as a pampered pet of a benevolent patron. After his patron's untimely death, he stays on with the patron's son – a self-centered, weak man who got ensnared by the drugs and fast living in the States. One night, it goes too far and Lupe is beaten nearly to death. He is taken to a secret shifter clinic where he meets an unlikely knight in tarnished armor.

Together, Mitch and Lupe confront the playboy and his friends – but will their actions draw the rest of the jaguar familias, not to mention the ocelot clans, into a battle over Lupe's future? Will the delicate balance of power destroy everything that Mitch's small band of tiger shifters has built in Chicago?

Seattle has been at peace since before it was founded on the banks of the Puget Sound. The war between the witches and the snake shifters ended and they now live separate lives. Generations of distrust have kept them separated, until Ari Fitzgerald meets sexy Zachary Bennett, a young witch from the Queen City Coven.

Ari is the son of the lamia king. He needs to find the source of the black market trading in lamia venom before any other snake shifters are hurt, or worse. The young ones are most at risk, because their venom is more potent. Ari discovers the source is a witch and suspicion falls on Zac and his coven. Ari doesn't want to believe it.

Zac works for his brother-in-law, a powerful bear shifter who doesn't care about shifter politics. When three coyote shifters come to town, looking for black-market lamia venom and a witch to kidnap, Zac gets caught in the middle between the bears, the lamiae, and the power-hungry coyotes. He's going to need all the help from Ari that he can get.

Ari and Zac must find the source of the venom before the city erupts into a dangerous war, with the two of them on opposite sides.

Pampered city boy meets Heathcliff of the desert

The lost colony world of Persis created its own customs in the years without galactic contact. The Keeps developed complex methods of dealing with the harsh desert of the Great Valley and now, Keepers are cherished as caregivers and helpmeets. Emerald Keeper Teeka is no exception. Graduating at the top of his year, young Teeka is prepared to take his first Contract with Senior Hunter Brant.

When Brant is killed while out on Stake, Teeka is stranded, surrounded by strangers, and is unsure of who to trust. A dark and moody Hunter steps forward with an offer of partnership and protection. Teeka wonders what motivates the scarred and solitary Senior Hunter Quill.

Both have hidden motives for agreeing, and both are suspicious of each other. But the Great Valley will force them to work together and build a trust born out of necessity and survival.

Between the dangers of the desert and the malice of a hidden enemy, Teeka and Quill must learn to believe in each other to find the truth.

Warning: Contains explicit, adult sexual situations intended for mature readers.

This is a standalone novel with no cliffhangers and an HEA ending.

Can Teeka and Quill's love born in the desert survive the new dangers hidden in the cliff city of Reghdad?

On the faraway world of Persis, the new love between Emerald Keeper Teeka and Senior Hunter Quill is tested almost before it can flourish. During Teeka's first Contract disaster had struck, thrusting him into danger and an uncertain future. After the sands settle, a strong relationship between himself and the handsome Quill has been forged in the heat of the harsh desert.

When Teeka returns to the cliff city of Reghdad he finds that not all dangers come from the Great Valley. The blazing heat of Daymonth is nearly upon them and no one can survive outside on the surface of the planet- but his new lover Quill is desperately trying to get to Reghdad, and Teeka, before the start of it. Even if he makes it, the Council of Emerald Keep tries to separate them and denies Teeka's Contract with the brooding Hunter.

Accidents begin and Teeka discovers their enemy is more powerful than any of them suspected and he will stop at nothing to keep Teeka and Quill apart - even by striking in the very heart of the city.

Warning: Contains explicit, adult sexual situations intended for mature readers.

This is a standalone novel with no cliffhangers and an HEA ending.
