Animal Senses

You can only hide for so long before fate steps in... She crept back out of the room being careful to not make a sound, debating for half a second whether she should close the door or just leave it. She left it. Every instinct was telling her to get out of there, fast. Rayne left Chicago that morning, with a random poke a map sending her, wholly unprepared, into the wilderness. Needing a place to regroup and find a new direction, she could never have imagined what she'd find in a remote Ontario town. Reclusive lone wolf Devin guards his isolation and solitude while he avoids taking his rightful place in the pack. Painting and avoiding his mother's phone calls occupy his waking hours until Rayne appears, smelling of flowers, hiding secrets, and awakening his wolf. Changes are coming for Rayne, and her ignorance of the world she knows nothing about save fiction stories soon come clear as danger approaches and choices must be made.

Sometimes the answers you get aren't what you asked. The world can tilt a bit and throw you off balance, just enough that you have to stop and make some adjustments. When Kelsey comes home, she finds out her entire life and everything she thought she knew is a lie. When her world spins out of control and flips in more directions then she could ever count, she struggles to right it again.

*Being a female shouldn't mean you are less capable.* It was twenty-one years ago when Blair lost his birth family, and it took that long for him to understand why. Raised in a clan with a commitment to their kind with an unshakable belief that they must be protected from all threats, Blair is tasked with rescuing and protecting those endangered by his birth clan. Kobie, the last surviving member of the Alpha Family, is now protecting and leading the remaining women and children threatened and damaged by the clan struggles. But not knowing left her at a disadvantage, her father's protection and secrecy left her unprepared, and the truth of the situation is laden with dangers and surprises. Kobie may be handicapped by the lack of information her father never shared, but her entire life has been dedicated to being more and better. She won't be pushed aside for a male hunter, fighter, or protector, and after proving her worth time and time again and securing the trust of the women and children, she's faced with the difficult choice to step aside and allow Blair to help them. Perhaps the two can find a way to work together for the good of them all. ~ In Jacqueline Paige's Animal Senses Series, hearts and tempers collide with wild passions and animal instincts. Animal shifters live among normal humans (one-forms) and have since the dawn of time. They blend in without any cause for notice until a crime organization finds out and starts hunting them to sell off across the globe. The shifter alliance is formed to protect all their kind. Their teams are working endlessly to rescue all of theirs from lives of servitude and shutting down any involvement in the underground organization.

After a life of turmoil, she puts her trust in one man. Dedicating his life to the Alliance, helping to rescue those under the control of a crime family that is terrorizing his kind, Jesse is determined to root out the rot in their world and bring home all those taken. Clans are disappearing all over the map and his team is sent to find any remaining. Discovering one who lived through the horrors of her captivity, he's now got a new mission: protect her from all that could harm her: even herself. After surviving the horrors of her early years, her grandparents keep her hidden. Isolated for years, Leah is unaware of how clan life should be. When the last elder in her clan passes away, she is left on her own in the secluded location, where she must endure the hard living. A strange man comes up the mountain and finds her, she's terrified he won't understand that she's broken inside. He promises her help, but she must find the courage to go with him. She isn't sure she is strong enough to do what is needed—but what she's known can't be all that life has to offer her, can it?

He needed to prove he was good enough, she had to show him it didn't matter. Alpha bloodline, perfect showpiece daughter, and four older brothers. Giana's life. Joining the clan coordinators team meant she could contribute to the shifter world. Of course, she gave up her home and was now living in a van she didn't own, but she was being useful. She needed to do something to help her kind and not just her family's status. A rogue shifter, mangy mutt is what Deacon was, he knew it, admitted it, and accepted his place. He had no business being the mate of an Alpha's daughter. He spent his life moving with the wrong crowds to survive and now he must endure and watch over a mate he can never claim, but he had to make sure she was safe. With the teams all working together, they're put together as partners making it the best way to keep an eye on her, but it's his worst nightmare at the same time. How is he going to do his job, watch her and not give in to the need to claim her as his own?

Her song renewed his hope. Born in captivity and kept in a tank, like an animal, Terah has never seen the outside world. She knows nothing of clan life or the odd rituals of normal behavior. Rescued, she is transported to a place where she gets to swim freely in water that isn't surrounded by walls of glass—for the first time in her life. She had only ever heard about water like this from her mother and had never dreamt she would one day feel it flow over her. She doesn't know that she's different, even from her own kind or that by her very existence, she gives them all hope for the future. With the water clan near-extinct, Konner continues to search the globe for members forced into hiding to survive. Each time he finds another empty lake, he feels the pains of what his people have gone through. When one of his clan is rescued from the Tomas organization's cruelty, he thinks maybe there's a small chance that more of them are being kept as entertainment. With renewed hope, he sets things in motion to search for them.

She calms his beast. He gives her strength. Noah was taken when he was a boy and forced to live in a world that no child should, he never thought he'd be free. He was now though, in body at least. His mind held more scars than his abused body did. Despite his fractured soul, he was determined to do everything possible to shut down the forces out there that destroyed lives and ruined the minds of so many of his kind. He thought he was working through his own damage, at least in his own way, until he found one captive with emerald green eyes that haunted his every dream and powered all his nightmares. The mate he'd found and lost in the same moment all those years ago. Emersyn had two driving forces that kept her alive and helped her live through the horrors of her life. The first one was her daughter and determined to keep it together until she could find her again. The second one was a man, she didn't know, whom she had only seen once half a decade ago. He'd been carried from her place of torment covered in blood and she was sure he was dead. The thought of him, a stranger fighting for her gave her the will to continue and not succumb to misery's hold on her. When he freed her from the chains, he vows to find her little girl and reunite them, no matter what. She believes him and knows her only chance of surviving in the outside world is to stay by his side.

One foot in both worlds, welcome in neither. Fathered by the most hated man in the shifter world, Griffin is considered a half-breed and is welcome by neither the shifters nor one-forms. When he's captured by the Alliance, he has the choice of remaining loyal to blood, despite loathing everything they represent, or helping the shifters and earning the chance of a life. All of his plans change when the animal his family suppressed for decades decides it's time to take over and there is no going back to how Griffin was. Blaise is a mutt in her community. A mixed breed shifter marked by a darker skin pigmentation for all to plainly see. Having a family and happily ever after has never been part of her plans, and she made sure it could never happen. She survived her cruel childhood and is content with her adult life. The only thing she lives for is her job. As part of the Alliance's Special Operations team, she spends her time on the road enforcing laws for her kind and bringing justice to those who break them. Her every moment for the last year has been bringing an end to the terrors her kind have faced at the hands of a human organization-anything and everything she can do to stop them, she will. When she is sent to watch over someone the Alliance captured, her life takes an unplanned turn. This man is nothing like she thought he'd be. It becomes a struggle to keep him alive and out of the hands of those that will do anything to get him back, but she's determined to keep him safe.

If life were fair, Webb would have worked in the entertainment industry. He was sure of it. A smile and pleasant words went a long way in bringing someone a moment of peace and joy, and he liked nothing better than just that. Life wasn't fair, and at times, for his kind, it wasn't just either. He was a shifter, as were all of his friends. They weren't from the same clans, but to him, they were family. He had watched lives destroyed all around him, and it broke his heart. One form or two, it shouldn't matter; all could live in the same world and find happiness. At least that's what he told himself when he wasn't transporting women who were scared both physically and mentally for the rest of their lives. Or when he wasn't taking men who had lived their lives with collars around their necks to a new facility to hopefully one day make them whole again. Life was cruel for his kind, and he had no other choice than to do his part to end that. For months, he'd been working with teams that were slowly shutting down the underground market that spanned worldwide, who traded, sold, and killed all types of shifters. It wasn't going to be easy, but he was in it until the end. After that, he hoped to find someone special with whom to spend the rest of his life, making happy memories and having good times. Rhogue was a half-breed, but she didn't care. She lived with the people that had raised her since she was a baby. They weren't her blood, but they were family. Most others didn't like the groups she moved around with. They were drifters that did what was necessary to survive. It hadn't been an easy life, but they all looked out for each other. Halfway through the winter, the leader of another one of the drifter groups approached the one in charge of her adopted family. The Shifter Alliance was giving them permission to live in homes as long as they helped them keep watch for traffickers after any shifter. At first, she'd been left behind and was told they would find a way to get her there. They didn't know how the Alliance was going to take to a half-breed human that couldn't shift. Rhogue understood it was their chance and had been happy to stay back until they came for her. That had been a few months ago, now and her whole world was different here. In all the goodways. The woman who ran the factory had been very accepting of her and had even asked her to help out with some young girls she was responsible for. They'd been taken and kept on an island by the traffickers, and until they found the clan they came from, Blaise was in charge. She envied the fierce warrior woman. She knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to do something about it. A permanent home, food, and warmth, what more could a girl ever need? Jacqueline Paige lives in Ontario in a small town that's part of the popular Georgian Triangle area. She began her writing career in 2006 and since her first published works in 2009 she hasn't stopped. Jacqueline describes her writing as all things paranormal, which she has proven is her niche with stories of witches, ghosts, physics and shifters now on the shelves. When Jacqueline isn't lost in her writing, she spends time with her five children, most of whom are finally able to look after her instead of the other way around. Together they do random road trips, that usually end up with them lost, shopping trips where they push every button in the toy aisle, hiking when there's enough time to escape and bizarre things like creating new daring recipes in the kitchen. She's a grandmother to seven (so far) and looks forward to corrupting many more in the years to come. Jacqueline also writes under the pseudonym of J.

The truth doesn't always set you free. Trained as a healer since childhood, Shaelan never realized why no one ever moved, from her village or visited. Something wasn't quite right, but it wasn't until she saw the truth with her own eyes that she realized. She couldn't live with how things were. But, does she have the strength, to make the changes necessary for her people to live in peace? Sometimes discovering the truth, also means facing all that is wrong, even in your own life.

Revenge is never the answer. Until it is. Banished by her Alpha, who happens to be her father, Amari learns how to survive without help. Driven by revenge, she discovers there are a few things in life she's good at, but none of them are skills normal society would find acceptable. Rogue shifters that were only without a clan because they were hiding from the organization hunting and caging their kind are responsible for the death of Tripp's father. After securing his mother and sister a home where they'll be safe, he ends up as an outlaw-until the Shifter Alliance takes him in and puts him on the one team that fits his off-the-rail, and a little bit crazy style. His only objective is to end the organization terrorizing his kind. Until he meets his female equal that takes 'out of control' to all new levels and he has no idea how to handle it-or her.
