Shape Up or Shift Out Series

Rita loves being a raccoon shifter, and she's not ashamed of being a professional thief.   The thing is, something is missing from her life: love.   So when she receives a mysterious message from a matchmaker, Rita thinks Esme Baer has finally taken her up on her generous offer to steal something in return for finding her mate.   What she finds instead, is that Esme sent her to meet a half-man, half-cyborg.   One who is really sexy and just Rita's type…

Who wouldn't want to accept a free cruise? Especially if that means a chance at meeting your true fated mate?   Bill isn't over his ex. He left her high and dry half a year ago, but it's time he moves on. He's a Grizzly bear shifter with cybernetic enhancements and a dark past.   He's not sure what kind of woman can learn to love a man like that.   Ray hates water and boats, but this red panda shifter is going to suck it up and get on board because it's been far too long since she's dated anyone—ever since her ex completely ghosted her—and she's got a good feeling about this matchmaking cruise.   All hopes are dashed, though, when the two exes end up assigned to the same room… and there are no other cabins available!   Can Ray and Bill reunite? Or will their sea of troubles be too much to sail through?

Roquette Avery, a white raccoon shifter, is terrified that someone will recognize her for who she truly is: a thief who's just recently turned her life around and is yearning to find her fated mate.   Harmony Baer doesn't seem to care about Roquette's past, though. She's personally invited Roquette to the annual Christmas party she hosts with her sisters. Roquette is nervous but excited until a nefarious-looking vampire shows up to crash the party and tells Roquette she looks exactly like another raccoon shifter she's met—a raccoon shifter who stole something very valuable from the vampire's home.   Before the vampire can harm Roquette, her bodyguard intervenes. He shines a glowing red eye on Roquette and grabs her with his metallic arm, insisting she flee the party. Too bad. This raccoon is not about to jet. No one gets to tell her what to do, no matter who she might resemble.   And besides, Mr. bodyguard is pretty sexy, and Roquette's got a sneaking suspicion that he's her fated mate.

Ruby is a raccoon shifter and a baker who is looking for her family. She knows they're out there, and after the death of her brother, finding his daughters—who were given away against his will—is her only focus.   Racoon shifters need to stick together.   She decides to hire a private detective to help. He has to be a shifter, to understand all the variables of the case, and while she'd prefer to avoid predators, there's something about Paul Lapin that makes her trust the coyote.   She's especially glad for his professional skills when the family who gave the girls away show up with threats, because there's no way she's going to stop now, when she's this close to a family reunion!   For my regular readers, you may be surprised to find that this one has no bedroom scenes, but I still hope you enjoy!   This is an older heroine's story, involving finding family and romantic love!

A wedding. A double-agent. An undercover operation where love and revenge will reign.   Colleen Nicols is used to assignments where she's used as bait for vampires. Her fae blood is irresistible to them. What she didn't expect this time, was to fall for one.   Bernard Saint James has turned a blind eye to his vampire family's misdeeds for centuries, but now Lilly has gone too far. Her cyborg experiments are drawing attention, and she's becoming bolder with every victim, and Bernard knows she must be stopped.   His plan seems to be going off without a hitch, until he sets his eyes on Colleen.   Lilly Saint James has gotten away with it for too long. Now, with the help of a few raccoon shifters and their cyborg mates, the time for comeuppance is upon her.
