by Shelly LaurenstonThe &“hot and humorous&” debut of the action-packed shapeshifter series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Pride novels (USAToday.com). It&’s not every day that a beautiful naked woman falls out of the sky and lands face-first on grizzly shifter Berg Dunn&’s hotel balcony. Definitely they don&’t usually hop up and demand his best gun. Berg gives the lady a grizzly-sized t-shirt and his cell phone, too, just on style points. And then she&’s gone, taking his XXXL heart with her. By the time he figures out she&’s a honey badger shifter, it&’s too late. Honey badgers are survivors. Brutal, vicious, ill-tempered survivors. Or maybe Charlie Taylor-MacKilligan is just pissed that her useless father is trying to get them all killed again—and won&’t even tell her how. Protecting her little sisters has always been her job, and she&’s not about to let some pesky giant grizzly protection specialist with a network of every shifter in Manhattan get in her way. Wait. He&’s trying to help? Why would he want to do that? He&’s cute enough that she just might let him tag along—that is, if he can keep up . . . Praise for Shelly Laurenston and the Honey Badger Chronicles &“When it comes to combining offbeat humor and mayhem, it is tough to beat Laurenston.&”—RT Book Reviews &“Laurenston delights . . .

Hot and Bothered
by Dianne CastellSavannah, Georgia: city of history, mystery, and more than a few ghosts, as well as four best friends who have never fit in anywhere except with each other. But everything is about to change as an unsolved murder from decades ago draws them close--and closer still--to four sexy bachelors with secrets of their own...<p> In the "new" old south, pedigree and money still mean plenty...especially when you have neither. P.I. Charlotte deShawn and her friends Prissy, BrieAnna, and Bebe know all too well what it's like to be on the outside looking in, having grown up with more questions than answers about the parents they each lost at an early age. For Charlotte, enduring condescending looks and whispers only made her more determined to ignore social standing. So why should it be a problem when wealthy hotel owner Griff Parish wants to hire her to find the missing heir to his family fortune? Just because their chemistry is hotter than Georgia in August doesn't mean she can't be a pro about this. After all, they travel in completely different circles--or they did until now...<p> Griff's always had a thing for Charlotte, with her long red hair, big green eyes, and wild streak. Even the hefty chip on her shoulder only reminds him of how strong she is. Still, nothing's ever come of the attraction. Now, however, the temptation Charlotte represents is too close to ignore. True, Griff got himself into this fix. He could have hired a different detective agency--but that wouldn't have served his ends. He has damn good reason to keep Charlotte deShawn close, and it has nothing to do with her keen mind or her gorgeous body. Yeah, right. Falling hard for Charlotte wasn't part of the plan, but in Savannah, what you expect is just about never what you get...
