Forbidden Shifters-The Bear Next Door

Today (June 2nd) sees the launch of my new shifter series titled Forbidden Shifters. These shifters are all bears and the stories are more erotic in tone, well, even more toward erotica.  If you like smoking hot shifter stories I hope you’ll love this new series.

The first book is titled The Bear Next Door and features the first couple (Bear Shifter and his human mate) to get together after the lifting of a ban that’s been in place in the county.

Here’s the premise of the series and I hope you enjoy this first book as much as I did writing it. There will be another book in the series released at the end of the month so stay tuned.

Welcome to Bay Harbor Springs, one of the first towns in Benningan County to experiment with the idea that their bear shifter population and non-shifter residents should finally be allowed to date, have sex, and possibly mate.

Before legislation passed, all shifters were known as forbidden and any shifter found to have anything but a platonic or business relationship with their non-shifter counterpart, would be forced to wear a radio tracker, be fined, sometimes jailed, and repeat offenders were banished from Benningan County for ten years.

The non-shifter female residents sometimes found this rule the hardest to abide by because everyone knows that a bear shifter is downright hunkalious.

Many women found themselves unable to resist these sexy werebears and many of the bad boys paid the price by handing over huge fines for a short kiss while others spent time behind bars for a quick rendezvous in the backseat of a parked car.

The Non-Shifter Alliance (all male) has decided that each month a limited number of permits will need to be issued before any sexual activity can commence and it’s on a purely a first come first served basis.

As you can imagine a record number were applied for just minutes after the ban was officially abolished and sexual encounters with the Forbidden Shifters began soon after.

These are the stories…

Brody-Big Sky County

The first of my two holiday stories will be released on Thursday and it’s Brody which is part of the Big Sky County series.

I admit this was one of my favorite stories to write. Brody heads to Riker’s Creek searching for three men, one of which he knows is his biological father. It’s not just curiosity that makes him want to find him but something more important. On his first night in town he meets a woman who will soon become a big part of his life. I won’t give the story away but hope you’ll check it out. I’ll be giving away a copy of this book as part of my 12 Days of Christmas giveaway so check back shortly to find out more. And a big thank you to Shannon who offered the name of Brody for this character.
