Elevator Pitch

By Ofelia Gränd

Bjorn Ritter only wants one thing -- to live his life away from nosey, demanding bears. That's easier said than done when you're the son of the female running the Bayside Bear Community.

Cecil Baxter might be a bat, but he grew up away from shifter communities and he's doing his best to continue to keep his distance. Shifters aren't an accepting bunch and Cecil has never fit the norm.

Already facing a dreaded meeting with his mother, the last thing Bjorn needs is a stranger using his elevator to escape a pack of werewolves. And Cecil, whose day just seems to be getting worse and worse, could really do without the added stress of finding himself trapped in an elevator with a huge bear shifter.

Still, what could go wrong in three minutes?

Elevator Pitch

By Ofelia Gränd

Bjorn Ritter exited his bungalow on Bayside Row and glanced up and down the narrow neighborhood road. A few more days and the leaves would shield his small, lush garden from prying eyes—and there were prying eyes.

Bear streets were terrible, but his mother had insisted he’d stay in the area. In this case, ‘the area’ meant Bayside Row which was where he’d grown up, where all his cousins, second cousins, third cousins, and some who weren’t any kind of cousins, but had ended up being part of the Bayside Bear Community anyway, lived.

Her eyes and mouth narrowed at the same time. Are you gonna meet your mother dressed like that? She crossed her arms over her chest, her wide shoulders tensing.

Bjorn looked down at himself. His jeans hung low on his hips, his T-shirt tight enough so anyone who cared to look could see the ridges of his abs, but he was clean, and he’d made an effort to pick a pair of jeans without holes in them.

I was planning on it, yes. He scowled as Ursula Zimmerman came out to stand on the doorstep of the house next to Nita’s.

Is he going on a date dressed like that?

Clutching his keys, Bjorn hurried around his car and yanked the door open. Nosy fucking bears.

No, he blew off the last one. The youngest daughter of the Boris family. It’ll cause quite a stir. Nita chuckled disapprovingly. "A Boris rejected! It’s gonna take a
