DESCRIPTION: Cassidy is no longer an aspiring author. She hit the big-time, money-wise with her paranormal erotic romance shifter titles that are all the rage. She’s a success!

With her finances secure, she is taking a break from the genre and revisiting a former dream of writing the great American novel. First, she needs to get her latest book completed and in the hands of her publisher, ASAP. There’s just one problem, she’s switched out the last three chapters and needs them to be edited. But her editor isn’t available. What’s an author to do?

Help comes in the shape and form of Abe. New to town, a seasoned editor and ruggedly handsome, he’s not only willing to take on the editing job, he can do it fast. When they meet, the chemistry is instant and Abe is drawn to the curvy writer.

When Cassidy’s daily workout takes a drastic and amusing turn, the two begin the journey of becoming a truly unique pairing. Abe is eagerly seeking a mate, but can Cassidy wrap her head around fiction becoming reality and accept her very own, true-to-life shifter, to call her own?

CASSIDY

I rolled over in bed, stretching my limbs slowly, letting out a long, slow yawn. I had that feeling of contentment that comes from having slept in your own bed after being away from home for a while. It was a feeling I loved.

Sunshine was pouring in through the curtains and I could tell by the daylight that it was mid-morning. I caressed the softness of my sheets, the down comforter and nuzzled my nose into the pillow, appreciating the scent of being home.

Mmmmmmm… I murmured to myself, luxuriating.

Rolling over, I found Abe was still asleep. He slept on his back, one arm resting on his torso, the other hitched up over his head, resting on the pillow. He looked as peaceful as a babe.

Now, here I was, at home and in bed.

With my fiancé.

My bear-shifter fiancé.

I followed his happy trail of body hair, ever-so-lightly with my finger, down to where his boxers hugged his
