Book 4 in the Misfit Shifters series and sequel to Nate Free Spirit Thursday, a shifter with no recollection of his past beyond being raised in a monastery, lands in the Bluebird Valley Preserve with no further motivation than assisting others through massage therapy and meditation. Disbelieving a leopard exists inside him and unable to change into such a beast, he disregards the speculation that he's truly a shifter. To do otherwise would potentially go against all the pacifist teachings he'd taken to heart. Damien, struggling with a sudden change in temperament from his inner wolf, searches for a way to mollify the suddenly aggressive and demanding beast before he loses complete control. If he can't rein in his wolf, their future consists of banishment or, even worse, a death sentence. Just as he reaches his wit's end, Damien stumbles across the most unusual shifter around, who just might hold the answer to soothing his wolf once and for all. When a deadly threat forces Thursday's leopard to the fore, it sends him into a tailspin, unable to cope with the realization of his true genetics and his traumatic past, as the violent cat goes against everything he'd come to believe. It's up to Damien to create a bridge between the two differing entities. Failure to do so means the loss of so much more than Damien could ever imagine.Show book
The dead are talking, and they have no intention of behaving themselves. Ivan Ivanovitch is a struggling writer who is slowly losing his grip. He goes to a funeral for a distant relative, wanders among the graves, and sits down to rest. Then he hears voices coming from under the ground. The corpses of St. Petersburg are gossiping. A general frets about rank. A society lady complains. A shopkeeper grumbles about prices. A decadent baron has a proposal: they have only a few months of awareness left before they fade completely, so why not spend it telling the whole, shameless truth? Written in 1873, Bobok is Dostoevsky at his strangest and funniest. It's a dark satire of vanity, social climbing and hypocrisy that follows people all the way into the grave. Critics have called it one of the most daring things he ever wrote. It's short, sharp and unsettling, and it's a perfect companion to The Dream of a Ridiculous Man. Translated by Constance Garnett. Read by a real human being.Show book

Kill the King of Mont de Leucoy, and his siblings will be released. It should be an easy job for Malcolm Forrest. He’s ex-army, and hiking through snow doesn’t bother him because he’s a snow leopard shifter. He enters the country on four feet, his plan not formed beyond reaching the castle and getting eyes on the king. Seeing a phoenix flying through the trees is unexpected, but his curiosity has been awakened, and so has the firebird’s. He follows, but what he finds is a man standing by a fire. A man he believes to be a shifter living wild and in need of some company, which, after days of living as a snow leopard, is rather too tempting. Escaping his security to shift and fly is one of the reasons Gerrit likes to visit his remote mountain estate. The only shifters he ever finds are those in trouble, so when he sees the snow leopard, he’s happy to share his fire. When the leopard shifts, Gerrit wants more than words. He’s tired of being alone and unable to connect because of who he is and the secret he needs to keep. He doesn’t expect to see the snow leopard again. The next time they meet, Malcolm realizes who the phoenix is and how he missed his chance. With a magic-fueled blizzard closing in and no means of escape, he fails to act again. Instead, when Gerrit offers him shelter on his estate and in his bed, he accepts. Even though the lie eats him up. How can he kill a man who cares about his country, his family, his staff, and a stranger so much? With lives on the line and too many secrets being kept, revealing the truth may be the only way out of the mess…but it will cost him more than his heart. Explore the hidden kingdom of Mont de Leucoy in Book 2 of the Brothers of Fire series. This book has a lonely king, a desperate assassin, a snowstorm, spies, lies, and plenty of steam created by the phoenix and the snow leopard.Show book
