Book Description
What good is a shifter who can’t shift? Curvy Emily Webster has asked herself that same question a million times. Though she has ancient royal bear blood running through her veins, Emily has never been able to shift, and her inability to do what comes so easily to the others is starting to become a royal pain. In fact, two years ago, the love of Emily’s life left for that very reason — because she couldn’t change into a bear. Was Emily angry? Yes. Devastated? Absolutely. But life goes on, and this week, Emily’s cousin is getting married at a royal wedding between the clans. Being a royal wedding, there is a lot of unspoken pressure on Emily to find a mate. And then, to make matters worse, Emily’s ex, Jack Stone, appears. From the moment their eyes meet, everything comes rushing back to Emily. How Jack left her, the hurt, the shame, but also the love they shared… Jack Stone is a powerful grizzly who is more comfortable wearing flannel and jeans than a tux. Today, however, the dress code is the farthest thing from his mind. Jack is as surprised to see Emily as she is to see him. Her mere presence after so long consumes him. The smoothness of her skin, the grace of her curves, it all comes back to him. But life is complicated. And what Emily doesn’t know is that Jack didn’t leave her because she couldn’t shift, he left her to save her life. But Jack can’t tell Emily that. Not if he wants to keep her safe. He can’t, however, just ignore the attraction between them either. Something needs to be done, and as Jack sees it, he has only one choice. He’ll have to put everything on the line to destroy the evil that conspires to keep them apart. Only then will Emily see the truth. And only then will Jack be able to claim her as his mate. *A Note to the Reader: Unmarked is a story of hot, sexy Alpha love. In addition to steamy lovemaking, it contains some adult language. If sizzling shifters and their curvy BBW mates aren’t your thing, you may want to skip this book. But if you're a curvy girl who likes her leading men strong and her action scorching hot, enjoy! **If you haven't already read my Wild Alpha Shifters or my Bear in a Billion books, be sure to check them out!

Book Description
They say in death, your life flashes before your eyes like pictures in an old movie reel. That had never happened for her. Keeping her resurrection a secret is a matter of life and death for demon hunter Sophie Sinclair. When a hunt goes sideways and a chance encounter on the side of the road ends in a passionate lip-lock with a sexy stranger, Sophie sets off a sequence of events that further puts her secrets, her ex-lover’s life, and her heart in danger. Ex-homicide detective turned private investigator, Ryan Campbell, is far from being a stranger to Sophie. Sophie might not remember the night she died in his arms, but Ryan sure as hell can’t forget. Her long hair, the color of night, had been short when he held her as she choked on her own blood. And her eyes, the deepest blue. Life slowly faded from their depths as he asked for her name in that drab alley two years ago. Damn it, why did he return her kiss? He didn’t go kissing stranded women on the side of the road, and definitely not a woman who should be dead. But to discover the answers to how Sophie defied the laws of life and death, Ryan offers her a steamy proposition, unknowingly jeopardizing his life and his heart. How far will Ryan and Sophie go for duty and freedom, family and love? Will the truth set them free? Or will Ryan’s betrayal rip Sophie’s heart to pieces?
