Santa Cruz Shifters Series

Ty wants to fly, but that choice was taken away. Ty: I'm a hybrid shifter, a freak who doesn't fit. My wing is damaged, so the ravens don't accept me. Pumas don't want me 'cause I shift to raven. I spend my nights drinking my memories away or screwing them into oblivion. But the most glorious male wolf I've ever seen needs my help. Dex is half-starved and rough around the edges, but I'm going to make sure Half Moon Territory gives this wolf a home. He's been protecting us for weeks, from what I'm not sure. He says doesn't want me but I know it's a lie. Yeah, I'm a flirt, the kind of shifter no one in their right mind would want for a mate, but I'll make this alpha wolf beg for me. I'm already begging for him. Dex wants a home, a peaceful life and maybe a dozen donuts. Dex: My pack kicked me out, my mate died in the Shifter Wars, and I've survived three years living rough. But I've discovered a new territory in the Santa Cruz Mountains and it may turn out to be the kind of home I've searched for. Only this crazy raven shifter keeps throwing himself at me. Yeah, he's hot as hades and he makes me smile, even laugh, but I may never be ready to settle down again. Especially not with a shifter who takes anyone with a beating heart to his bed.  No. If Ty wants to be with me, he's going to have to follow my very specific rules. Alpha rules. On top of everything, members of my old wolf pack have been sniffing around my new territory. Looks like I'm going to have to organize the defense of Half Moon and protect its citizens, especially Ty, who's teasing his way into my heart with every smile. *** Flying Hard is a M/M Paranormal Romance in the Breath of Air Collection and Book 1 in the LGBTQ+ Santa Cruz Shifter Series.

Caden, the son of a prime alpha wolf, wants the tiger who saved his life to take him up on his offer.   Caden: My father, the alpha of our pack, was murdered, only I'm not alpha material no matter what my family thinks. Half Moon Territory gave me and the vulnerable members of my old pack a home, so now I spend my time working on cars and lusting after the most beautiful tiger who ever walked the coastline. Rav could have abandoned me, but instead he made sure I got the medical help I needed, even when depression kicked me in the gut.   Only Rav has turned into a bull headed hermit who wants nothing to do with me. He let it slip it's because I'm a wolf, but I'm not buying that. He may have his secrets, but my wolf and I intend to claim him, no matter how many times he pushes me away.   Rav wants to tend his orchard in peace and forget about the wolves who haunt his dreams, especially the hot one who won't stop stalking him.   Rav: Caden is going to be the death of me. My tiger has already set his part of our heart on Caden's wolf, no matter how many times I explain that wolves and tigers will never fit together. Not after what was done to me and my clan. Or after what I did in return.   My clan's businesses are strong, our secrets have held, and no one in Half Moon needs to know about our past. If only the stubborn wolf wouldn't keep showing up, nudging his way into my life, getting under my skin in every way but the way my body really desires. I tell myself wolves can't be trusted, but day by day, Caden weakens my resolve. If I tell him the truth he'll run and the bits of hope I've managed to gather will shatter. I'm not sure I'd survive, so it's better to stay strong.   Marie Booth is an award winning author of paranormal romance and urban fantasy: (Santa Cruz Shifter Series, Steamy Bites Series, Theta Series) and contemporary romance: (Gate Series) Coming next is the RomCom m/m angel/vampire Santa Cruz Vampire Series.
