Sometimes it's harder to teach a young dog new tricks.
That's why werewolves embark on a Howling: a three-year rite of passage in which they're sent to a group residence to wrestle with their wolfy instincts and assimilate into the Wider World. But Tanner Araya's Howling is almost over, and he could be called back to his remote pack at any moment. His twenty-first birthday might be his last chance to act on his strongest instinct and finally
...Two men haunted by more than the past.
Painter Stefan Cobbe was homeless and debt-ridden after the death of his wealthy partner, but the worst loss of all was his artistic inspiration. After two years of nothing, he's offered patronage by an eccentric gallery owner and starts to produce again, canvas after canvas. The only problem? He can't remember painting any of them — not one single brushstroke.
Luke Morganstern's reputation
...Six months ago, Stefan Cobbe was at rock bottom: grief-stricken, guilt-ridden, debt-laden, and oh yeah — possessed by a homicidal dead painter. But after reconciling with his first love, Luke, and moving to Sarasota with him, Stefan is ghost-free and preparing for his first major show. Yes, he still has debts, and no, Luke doesn't understand Stefan's desire for independence. But compared to last year? No contest.

...Does a bear shift in the woods?
Well, partially. That was what got grizzly shifter Ted Farnsworth into trouble. He wasn't trying to break the Secrecy Pact. He just wants people to see the real him.

Not only will Ted never be lonely again, but once his new beaver shifter husband arrives, they'll build Ted's dream wilderness
...After decades of unrequited love, this kangaroo will jump at the chance for a date. Any date.
Lovelorn kangaroo shifter Hamish Mulherne, drummer for the mega-hit rock band Hunter's Moon, waited years for the band's jaguar shifter bassist to notice him. Instead, she's just gotten married and is in a thriving poly relationship. How is Hamish supposed to compete with that? But with everyone else in the band mated and revoltingly happy, he needs
...A match between a vampire and shifter could be deadly — but this broken beaver doesn't give a dam.
Silent film actor Casimir Moreau had imagined that life as a vampire would be freewheeling and glamorous. Instead, he's plunged into a restrictive society whose rules he runs afoul of at every turn. To "rehabilitate" him, the vampire council orders him mated to an incubus with impeccable breeding who'll mold Cas into the upstanding vampire
...As far as rock star Gareth Kendrick, the last true bard in Faerie, is concerned, the only good Unseelie is...well...there's no such thing. Two centuries ago, an Unseelie lord abducted Gareth's human lover, Niall, and Gareth has neither forgotten nor forgiven.
Niall O'Tierney, half-human son of the Unseelie King, had never lost a wager until the day he swore to rid the Seelie court of its bard. That bet cost him everything: his freedom, his
...Temp worker David Evans has been dreaming of Dr. Alun Kendrick ever since that one transcription job for him, because holy cats, that voice. Swoon. So when his agency offers him a position as Dr. Kendrick's temporary office manager, David neglects to mention that he's been permanently banished from offices. Because, forgiveness? Way easier than permission.
Alun Kendrick, former Queen's Champion of Faerie's Seelie Court, takes his job as
...Professor Bryce MacLeod has devoted his entire life to environmentalism. But how effective can he be in saving the planet when he can't even get his surly neighbor to separate his recycling?

...What do you do when you finally prove the existence of the otherworld, but the ghosts kick your ass?
For Trent Pielmeyer, the answer is run like hell — away from his hostile family, away from the disbelieving cops, and far, far, far away from anything that smacks of the supernatural. After seven years' captivity in a whacked-out alternate dimension, he is so over legend tripping.
When Christophe Clavret spots Trent in a Portland
...11) Nudging Fate
What price would you pay to rescue a friend from hell?
For Logan Conner, the answer is almost anything. Guilt-ridden over trapping his college roommate in a ghost war rooted in Portland's pioneer past, Logan has spent years searching for a solution. Then his new boyfriend, folklorist Riley Morrel, inadvertently gives him the key. Determined to pay his debt — and keep Riley safe — Logan abandons Riley and returns to Portland, prepared
...13) Devouring Flame
Thirty-seven-year-old Nate Albano's second relationship ever ended three years ago, and since he's grace — gray asexual — he doesn't anticipate beating the odds to find a third. Still, he's got his dog, his hobbies, and his job as a special effects technician on Wolf's Landing, so he can't complain — much.
Seth Larson, umpteenth generation Bluewater Bay, is the quintessential good-time guy, content with tending bar and being his grandmother's
