Secondhand Skin (A Soulbound Universe Novel) by Hailey Turner is now live!
Nothing says you can’t steal a heart. Keeping it though? That’s another problem.
Wade Espinoza knows a thing or two about hoards. As a dragon, he’s got plenty. What he doesn’t have is a relationship, and he swears he’s not looking for one. But when he’s sent to Boston to answer a cry for help from another pack, he’s drawn into a mess of fae bargains centered around a selkie who Wade instantly becomes obsessed with.
Riordan Maguire is struggling to keep his selkie clan out of the clutches of a fae lord who will do anything to take over their territory. Partnering with the Boston god pack means coming face-to-face with the first person he’s ever wanted to willingly give his sealskin. Too bad Wade isn’t local and is something altogether strange that Riordan isn’t sure he can trust.
Amidst a growing danger in the streets and Boston Harbor, Wade and Riordan are desperate to find a way to keep everyone safe. For bargains are dangerous things to break, but so are hearts. Wade isn’t willing to shatter either of theirs in a race against time that could see Riordan torn from him forever.

When you think life can’t get worse, the universe says: hold my beer.
Anastasia
This forty-five-year-old honey badger shifter is newly single and ready to mingle.
And freaking tired of playing small.
The fantastic news? I’m no longer alone. I have a sister and an entire birth family in Hoodoo, Texas. But with some new unexplainable powers, I may be too big of a freak for even my vampire aunt to accept.
The bad news? The sadistic honey badger clan I fled twenty-five years ago has found me. Someone else is trying to kill me. And if their threats of kidnapping, forced mating, and death weren’t enough…
I’m going into heat. Of course, the only viable candidate to offer a… helping hand is my escort to Texas–a grumpy werewolf who doesn’t even like me.
Carlos
I’m in San Diego to make the long-lost sister of my former high school sweetheart disappear—by any means possible. Instead, I discover that not only is the sister her identical twin, but my fated mate.
Now, my mission is to get the violent ball of sunshine to Hoodoo, where she’ll become someone else’s problem. That should be easy enough because I’m a wolf with a plane, a plan, and a purpose. What could go wrong?
How about everything?
Midlife Gumbo is the third book in the Boudin, Barbecue, and Hoodoo series. While it’s part of the larger world, this full-length paranormal romance is a stand-alone.
If you love road trips, laughter, and grumpy sunshine stories, then you’ll love Midlife Gumbo. This novel is high in humor and medium in spice and perfect for fans of Darynda Jones, Mandy Roth, and Shelly Laurenston.
Something about magic, action, and the supernatural calls to my wicked soul. I enjoy most genre fiction, but am drawn to heroines like me and my weird circle of friends: not that slim, not that young, and even a wee bit cranky. But we also find joy and laughter, even in the darkest times.
I fill my books with adventure, magic, loss, love, and inclusive casts.
Okay, now the personal stuff.
I married my first boyfriend who survived the four-month mark. Since we’ve been hitched for over thirty-seven years, I think he just might stick. The cats? Well, he’s too spoiled and stubborn to move off the couch.

He snatched me from the jaws of death for one reason—to be his.
I was a dead king’s sacrificial bride, until his murderer claimed me as his. Zabriel invaded my country of Maledin on the back of a monstrous, fire-breathing dragon and took me prisoner.
The lethal Zabriel towers over me in steel plate armor, and he could easily crush the life out of me—but the Flame King isn’t interested in harming me. Instead, he destroys everyone who has hurt me in a storm of fire and vengeance.
There’s malignant rot deep within my country. My family has vanished along with whole villages of people. As I desperately try to find those who are missing, my body and heart awaken under a powerful and alarming force.
Zabriel sets my soul ablaze every time he growls, “Mine.” He calls me Omega. The rarest. The most vulnerable. The one he craves to possess and protect.
When evil forces in Maledin threaten everyone I know and love, there’s only one person who is strong enough to help me defeat them, and the only place where I’m safe from an ancient foe is in the arms of the Flame King.

BLURB
The Aspen Pack series from NYT Bestselling Carrie Ann Ryan continues with an Alpha triad romance that shakes the shifter world forever.
Once Packless, now Alpha of the cursed ones, Cole Levin knows the weight of power and responsibility down to his marrow. But when the moon goddess changes the rules when it comes to mating, his entire world erupts and Central Alpha finds his fate with two mates.
Adalyn Anthea and Nico Jamenson are former rival shifters who have been dancing around their burning attraction for months. Only they didn’t know their missing piece was the Alpha that hides from them all.
Adalyn holds her painful secrets close, while Nico’s powers are cascading into something dangerous. As their mating comes to a shocking connection, Cole knows that he needs to be the foundation for them all.
Because the vampire chaos is at a precipice and a dark king is hunting for vengeance. And if this triad isn’t careful, their fragile new mating will burn before it can begin.
I couldn’t think of that right then. No, that was something for the Alpha part of me to work on later. Not the wolf part that needed to keep Skye and me safe. And that wasn’t only because she was the daughter of a powerful Redwood family. The granddaughter of the former Alpha before he had been slain by the demon. No, she was also a friend. One who I was not going to let die trying to protect me. She did not deserve to get hurt because I wasn’t strong enough to protect myself. Finally, as the last vampire came at us, blood coating Skye’s silver fur, as well as most of my body, I looked into the bright gold and green eyes of Skye as she gave me a tight nod, and we lunged.
