Ouachita Mountain Shifters

Christmastime at Lake Haven Lodge is the stuff of legends. Tucked away in a crook of the Ouachita Mountains, visitors come to relax and unwind for the holidays. What they don't know is that it's run by a clan of virile mountain cats. Handyman, Renner Blackfoot, is bored with his existence. Filling his bed with random females for his panther's pleasure isn't enough anymore. When the lodge hires an extra masseuse to help with the busy holiday season, he finds himself pulled in by her sensuality and wishing he was anything but a shifter. Because the cats have a code: No life mates. No exceptions. Break the code and you're on your own. Bethany Robertson has a secret: she knows the handyman and she wants to steer clear of him at all costs. Luckily, she's changed enough since they were kids that he has no clue she's the girl who used to comfort him when he cried at night. The girl he tormented in return. She just needs to get through the holidays without Renner recognizing her and then she'll be on her way. When her secret is revealed after a chance encounter, she wonders if maybe their history wasn't what she thought it was. And if maybe they have a future.

Tragedy left him without a mate and he swore never to claim another. Magic isn't the same after loving and losing, but he's determined to keep from repeating his past mistakes. He and his werecats made a promise that their clan would always be a safe place. Especially for females. That means no mating. It's the rule they all agreed on, but one-by-one they want to break it. None of them know the risks like he does, and he won't let it happen on his watch. Until she shows up, challenging his resolve and conjuring feelings he locked away long ago. She wanted to help, but found secrets instead. Josie came to Lake Haven to help a friend in need. Nothing like a bit of charity to distract from her own life spinning out of control. Maybe if she can rub shoulders with the broody leader of the group, some of his… ahem, control will rub off on her. If not, at least maybe something else of his will. But a secret, ten years in the making, throws her into a world of harsh realities, where she is somehow mated to the one panther shifter hell-bent on staying single. This is Magic's last chance to get it right. It's time to make peace with his past so he can embrace the future he deserves.

He took an oath to protect his mate, even from himself. Panther shifter, Owyn Wade, knows the danger of werecat matings, and he won't allow his female to be hurt by one. A secret vow to protect her and see to her needs without an official mating is the only way to ensure she's safe. Especially from him. But keeping their physical relationship from the rest of their clan is easier said than done. Even trickier? Keeping his heart from wanting to claim her for good. She gave him her trust years ago, now she's ready to give him her future. There's no one Dr. Christina Davis trusts more than the male who has protected her over the years. In order to obey their clan's no-mating law, they've kept their relationship a secret, stealing moments of passion when no one was looking. But now that the laws have changed and they're free to mate, Owyn hasn't shown any interest in wanting more. In fact, he hasn't touched her since. Now that a future with his mate is possible, Owyn will do whatever it takes to win her heart and prove that the real secret he's been hiding was that she already owned his.

The werecat of his dreams isn't looking for a happily ever after. Ryan is the only human male in the Ouachita shifter clan, but that hasn't stopped him from making a home among them. They're family, and human or not, he's one of them. For four years, he's had his heart set on a certain sassy, foul-mouthed cougar shifter to spend the rest of his life with. Except she's made it clear she won't take a mate, and definitely not a human. For the first time, he feels the weight of being different, and there's nothing to do but leave the mountains behind… along with his shattered heart. She's ready to give tradition the finger and claim her mate…if he'll just fight for it. Layna gave her word to never take a mate, and as much as it hurts to reject her kind and gentle human for so long… a werecat's worth is only as good as its oath. When the clan laws change and she's released from her vow, she's ready to tell Ryan the truth: she is his. But with nothing more than a soul-rending kiss beneath the mistletoe, he's gone for good. And she finally knows what it's like to be rejected by a mate. She's the only thing on his Christmas list, and he's been good for too long. When a new danger threatens Layna and the clan, only Ryan can help her. He'll keep his kitty safe, but not until she admits the truth. And if they're both lucky, they'll be merrily mated by New Year's Eve. Welcome to Lake Haven Lodge.These mountain cats know exactly what you need to make your stay unfurgettable.
