The certainty of a future, smugly carved out for me by my genes, by generations of heritage, had made me honestly think it would be better to die. Once, I'd thought I'd rather die than have a mate. I bit the word off, staring at the man across the room. What's the matter? asked my partner, nudging me gently. He was the best potential match that I'd ever met in my life, or perhaps ever would. It was just that I took one look at him, and I knew. It wasn't that he was so particularly good looking. It was one of the strongest feelings of his young life, a decision, a certainty. He stared up at her, and even at that young age, he felt a certainty and horror that surprised him. Then her gaze got farther away, and she sighed quietly. You get to have a mate, said his mother, correcting him gently, looking disappointed that he'd even hint he didn't want one. She paused, even the attempt at a smile disappearing. Someday you'll meet the right girl and you'll just know. She looked down at him, her brow crinkling a little as she tried to smile. The small wolf shifter, currently in human form as a little boy with scrawny knees, rather than a small, fluffy wolf pup, looked up with big, worried eyes to the most important person in his life. And he'd better hurry, because the clock is ticking for his partner. He won't stop until he finds Bo, no matter who he has to cross.

A shifty fox, a crooked sheriff, and strange gunmen at a mysterious diner all enter Jay's line of questioning. The guy who wanted to be Bo's mate is the first suspect.

His wolf partner wouldn't up and leave, not for anything. When Bo disappears without warning, Jay is frantic. Even if they have very different ideas of what their relationship actually is.

I really liked having a long-running series, but it started to become too restrictive with the specific job requirements. I just don't know if the ones in future will fit neatly into a series.

In other news, I think I will be writing more shifter books. Scribd | Apple | Kobo | Amazon | Google Play | Barnes and Noble If you want to get them elsewhere, get them now while you can! (links below) I will let you know when the books are in KU. I'm planning to test it with the books in the "Marrying Men" series (except the first book which will remain free everywhere). I think it's time to test Kindle Unlimited again.
