CREA (Chosen Rights Enforcement Academy)

Dyer Becker and Hunt Lane have been close since they were babies. Hunt's immediate obsession with Dyer from the first moment remains the same through childhood, adolescence, and into the early years of adulthood. So, living these last three years on separate land masses has been torture. Video calls and biyearly visits is just not enough. But now, Hunt is back in Purdy and staying with Dyer until he figures out where he wants to go next. 

Presley's late teens were filled with one horror after another. Kidnapped, forced to mate two shifters he didn't want and nearly a third, impregnated and abused in almost every way, he's definitely been through it - but three years out of being rescued by the CREA, he has worked hard for the life that he has. He has a home, a beautiful son, a job, and friends to show for it, and he has Fields, even if he's too damaged to ever even think about having a relationship with the gorgeous raven shifter who drives him absolutely up the wall while also making him crave a life he can never have.

When did Drew Lane grow up? As the oldest of the leap children, Harper Long was the designated babysitter growing up, which is why he is struggling so much with the fact that the youngest of the group is a grown man now. Like really grown. Like how does he even find supportive underwear with all that? 

Taylor is a young, fun and incredibly talented tiger shifter. He's also way to young for a cranky old moose set in his ways. Conley is an intriguing, smart, and patient moose who actually listens when the people who work for him talk. He's also probably annoyed beyond reason by the rookie. The smart thing for both of them would be to ignore they way they feel when they're together, but a pull this strong is hard to ignore. 

Fagan's father is the alpha of his pit...and he's sick, and only seems to be getting worse. The healer that comes to the viper pit every few weeks, can't seem to figure out why a shifter would be getting so ill, so Fagan goes to Purdy, looking for help. He didn't expect to find a human healer ready and willing to walk smack into the middle of a viper pit to help, but he's beginning to think Waters is either extremely brave or completely insane.

Lorre lost everything to the witch Esther...including his freedom. He's forced by a spell to do everything she asks him to do, using his special ability. Everything he's tried to do in order to get away from Esther has failed. Life seems hopeless...until he catches sight of Knight one day. Since then, he has become completely obsessed with the sea-turtle-shifter. He knows the man is probably his mate, but he can't claim him with the spell hanging over his head. And why would Knight ever want anything to do with him? He's the enemy.

Rattlesnake-shifter and alpha of his pit, Cline is actually a pretty laid-back person. There has ever only been one man who makes him want to hiss and spit, and that man is one of his son's closest friends, Frazier. Unfortunately, they need the little warlock if they want to save the chosen Esther has locked away on a warded island, and that means Cline extending his protection to the beautiful, irritating man.

What kind of mess must your life be that you're actually relieved when you get kidnapped? I'm not saying the accommodations were stellar, but Stockholm's got me thinking the kidnapper is nice and his twin brother is delicious. Maybe my parents were on to something when they tried to have me exorcized. Sick of being dragged around all over, I kidnap my kidnapper's brother in order to get some answers. The answers I get aren't at all what I expect, and because I clearly don't know how to be normal, I'm starting to fall for Ewing, completely unable to let him out of my sight.
