Long blurb:
There is strength in submission…and knowing who you are.
Natalie Erinaceus has
a problem. Her manipulating mother won’t stay out of her dating life. One more
dinner with a blind date and someone is getting a fork to the eye. Her inner
hedgehog wants a mate and nothing is going to stop her. Not her nervous
hedgie’s habit of balling-up and certainly not that online questionnaire. Who
writes those things anyway?
When Sylvia and Paige from Shifting Hearts Dating Agency
step in maybe, just maybe this curvy girl will find more than she ever dreamed
in the arms of the men who are fated to be her mates.
Nothing ventured nothing gained…
Lucas Morgan runs a Scarlet Ink, a tattoo shop across from
Ventures, a sexy as hell BDSM club. When his sister Scarlet sets the stage for
romance, he meets Jonathan, a werebear in need of more than just some ink. Can
Lucas learn to bend to the Dominant of his dreams? What happens when this cat
shifter switch meets the perfect sub and his dreams of having a woman in his
life become reality?
Three makes a family…
Jonathan Blevins is a bear shifter looking for love. His
family murdered by poachers, he came to Cypress Canyon to rebuild. When he
finds Lucas, it’s one step in the right direction. He has one mate but can he
convince a stubborn hedgie she’s ready to be claimed by not just one mate, but
two?

Excerpt:
Chapter One
“Paige, where in the hell did you put the password log
book?” Sylvia groaned as she flicked on the computer and the logo for the
Shifting Hearts Dating Agency flashed across the screen. The agency had been
open for six months, growing a little more every day. Their wall of successful
matings and marriages increasing making Sylvia eager to check out her newest
applicants and see any potential matches. But she always forgot the password.
Either that, or Paige was always changing it.
She bet the latter.
Tricky damned cat shifter.
A descendant of Aphrodite, helping others find love was in
Sylvia’s blood. Nothing made her happier. One day she’d find her own
swoon-worthy prince charming, but at this point…well, she was content helping
others. A tinge of sadness slid in and she firmly booted it away. The right
person would come along at the right time, not before. This was her job, her
chosen career and damned if she wasn’t going to use her power for helping
people. With a push if it required it.
But if she saw that damned incubus, Carter, again, she was
going to shove his ass clear out the window. Cheating fucker. He’d get his one
day. She had people to help and it didn’t do her much good to think about
murder before she’d at least had a cup of coffee. A really big cup too.
Everything here in Cypress Valley, Texas ran toward big and
she hoped by setting up business here with the growing shifter population, her
profits would start to be too. It was all great being descended from Goddess
material, but if you didn’t have the dollars to go with the lifestyle, then it
wasn’t so much fun anymore. Time to shake her money maker and get some romance
in the air.
She got up from the desk, her new heels making her wince.
She hobbled over to the kitchenette area in the back of the office and flicked
on the overpriced individual cup coffee maker Paige insisted they buy. Her
co-partner stood next to the counter, stuffing the better part of a jumbo
blueberry muffin into her mouth.
“Now that is one big muffin.”
She held up a finger and kept on chewing.
“Nice salute there, hun. Cat get up on the wrong side of the
bed this morning?”
Paige growled around the muffin, her cat shining in her
eyes.
“Ewwww. Somebody is grumpy today.” Sylvia rolled her eyes and
shook her head. Coffee. Lots of coffee. Then she’d deliberate about food. And
passwords. She eyed the flavored pods with distrust, knowing Paige was
watching, and selected one that read Hazelnut. She popped it into place like
Paige had shown her and hit the start button. A dribble of brown liquid began
to flow from the machine and too late she remembered she hadn’t placed a cup
below the spigot.
“Shit!” Sylvia scrambled and reached for the nearest mug,
shoving it in place. The scalding hot liquid poured over her hand and she let
out a yowl.
A choked laugh from across the kitchenette met her ears.
Still munching on her muffin with an innocent smile on her
face, Paige grinned and gave a pinky wave.
Bitch. At least that was an improvement over the last finger,
she supposed.
Sylvia gazed at her friend with narrowed eyes and ran her
hand under the faucet. “That wasn’t nice.”
“Sorry. But you made me almost inhale that one.” Paige
snorted into her hand and popped the last of the muffin into her mouth. Not
afraid of sporting her brunette curves, Paige was a kitty to be reckoned with,
whether it was man or muffin…or modern appliance.
“Ugh.” Sylvia snatched up her cup and marched back to her
desk, irritation prickling under her skin. New machines wigged her out. So did
computers and newfangled cars. If she got too excited, her goddess tendencies
could have adverse side effects to the point where Paige teased her that she
must be related to Harry Dresden. At her blank look, she’d sighed and flicked
something up on her phone, twisting it so Sylvia could see. “You know. The
Dresden Files?” A picture of a book cover covered the screen.
She’d had no earthly idea what her friend was talking about.
If it didn’t have vampires or a hot scantily clad shifter, she didn’t bother.
“You need to read more than just smut, girl.”
“Yeah…yeah.”
But what was the point to that?
“Sorry, Syl. The password book’s in the drawer where I
always leave it.” Paige maneuvered her way to the desk on heels so high Sylvia
didn’t know how she didn’t fall on her impeccably made up face. “And unless you
plan on sticking your mouth underneath the pour nozzle, I’d have a cup ready
next time.”
“Ha ha.”
Her friend’s blazer and top worked well with the jeans and
boots she’d selected for the day. It was raining and knowing her cat shifter
partner, she’d rather be curled up in her bed with a pile of blankets than be
out and about.
Paige clutched an oversize cup of coffee like it was her
lifeline, pausing mid-stride to take a sip. The rest of her may have been spot
on but her bleary eyes told a story. Sylvia wasn’t sure she really wanted to
ask.
“You okay?”
“Yep.” Paige set the cup down, the milky brown liquid
sloshing dangerously close to the rim. “Tried out a new venue last night and I
think I found us a whole new segment of the shifter population.”
“Really?” Sylvia grinned, “And where did you go, pray tell?”
Paige glanced around, nibbling her lip. “Is Rafe here?”
“Nope. I haven’t seen your brother yet. Why?”
“Good.” A flash of cat in Paige’s eyes revealed her excitement.
“I went to Ventures.”
Sylvia wrinkled her nose. “Where?”
“The new bondage club on Fifth Street. It caters to humans,
shifters, and other paranormals.” A smile lit up her eyes and she reached for
the coffee again, sitting down with a wince. “They had a kind of open house
event and I wanted to check it out to see if there was any potential for us to
join forces.”
“And?”
Paige focused on her cup, a secret smile on her lips.
“Did you hurt yourself?”
“Not exactly.”
Sylvia blinked. Oh….So that was how it was.
“So you think we’ll get some clients?”
Paige fidgeted in her chair and fired up her own computer.
“You just wait, girlfriend. I have a feeling before the day is out we’ll be
seeing something new coming across our desk. Now, where did you put the file on
the Jefferson twins? I think I met someone that could give them a run for their
money.”
