Alpha bear shifter Zevo is ready to move on from his job at Animals. When the opportunity to help scout out a new location presents itself, he’s up for the challenge. Getting to see the one who got away while he was there had nothing to do with his decision—really it didn’t.
Alpha wolf shifter Aras can’t believe his luck when he gets the call from his old friend and crush. This time he’s going to let Zevo know how he feels, even if it means risking losing him forever.
Omega Humphrey is ready to be his own dragon. Living under his family’s shadow his entire life, he’s ready to spread his wings. If only it was that easy.
When the three of them meet, their beasts immediately recognize each other as mates. Everything would be sunshine and roses if Humphrey’s flight didn’t forbid their mating and call him home. Can true love overcome ancient laws to help them find their happy ever after?
The Wolf and the Bear’s Dragon Omega is a standalone sweet with knotty heat M/M/M shifter mpreg romance set in the world of Omegas of Animal.

Christmas Valley Shifters #1
Sometimes the best gifts aren’t delivered by Santa…
Alpha Chane agrees to take over Wynter Hallow’s Annual Christmas Show when his predecessor retired. How hard could it be? This isn’t Broadway or anything. He soon discovers the answer: nearly impossible. But Chane refuses to give up; the yearly event is too important to his small-town community to let it fail.
Alpha Pax hates seeing his mate, Chane, stressing about the annual Christmas show, but, as the local florist, he doesn’t really have the skills needed to be much help. He can bring in some poinsettias and wreaths to decorate, but that is about it. That is until he befriends a partridge in the woods and gets an idea.
Omega and partridge shifter Beacon is brand new in town. He hasn’t even unpacked yet, and he’s already being bombarded with invites to all the Christmas festivities. Apparently the holiday is a really big deal in Wynter Hallow locals even call it Christmas Valley. He’s all set with that. Christmas is far from Beacon’s favorite time of year. He’ll just keep to himself until the season passes. Or so he thinks.
When a sweet alpha Beacon’s partridge recognizes as his mate finds him during a shift, Beacon lets the man take him home, unsure what else to do. It isn’t until they arrive that he realizes that he doesn’t have just one mate—he has two, and they both are human. Merry Christmas to him?
Their Omega Partridge in a Pear Tree is a sweet with knotty heat M/MM Mpreg Christmas romance featuring a small town holiday show gone awry, the alpha who tries to direct the disaster, an alpha set designer who has ideas grander than his budget, an omega partridge shifter who somehow winds up in the middle of it all —and in the middle of the two alphas, but he’s not complaining about that part-delicious cocoa, enough cookies for the entire town, meggs, a visit from Santa, the cutest dog you ever did meet, an adorable baby, and a hea so sweet you might need a dentist when all is said and done. If you like your omegas strong, your alphas hawt, and your mpreg with heart, download Their Omega in a Pear Tree by the popular co-writing team of Wendy Rathbone and Lorelei M. Hart today.

Alpha wolf shifter Nolan bought a money pit. His dream home has turned into a nightmare with one project turning into another turning into another and none of them inexpensive.

Omegas of Animals: SD #13
Alpha wolf shifter Rafe scented his fated mate, only to watch him die. Now, ten years later, he’s given up on love. Thank goddess, fate hasn’t given up on him.

Human omega Pierce is searching for a job and a place to live. When he sees a job listing offering both, he applies immediately. He assumes it’s a caregiver position or housekeeping. Wrong on both counts. He meets the man at Animals for the interview to discover he’s looking for a husband—in name only, to help him move up the corporate ladder—no feelings allowed. Too late for that. He already wants more and politely declines the offer, walking out and wishing they met any other way.

🎅🎄Sunday's Safe Word Shelf🎄🎅: Double Delivery by Lacey Daize
Knotty Holidays #3
It might not be glamorous, but Axel likes his job as a delivery driver.
Driving around all day delivering packages isn't for everybody, but it's a stable job with good pay. Plus, it keeps Axel out of an office. Sure, it can also be lonely. But there are plenty of familiar faces, including his friendly rival Tripp, and a new omega on their route.
Routine and driving around all day? That's Tripp's perfect job.
Tripp never had high aspirations. He knew he wasn't meant for college, but a job as a delivery driver suited him. There was enough variation day-to-day to keep him from getting bored, while also being routine enough to be comfortable. Add in some cute faces to flirt with, including Axel and a newcomer to their route, and there really wasn't much more he could ask for.
Ollie loves his job as an artist.
Drawing cute things and selling them as various stationery products is Ollie's dream job. He gets to create and share his imagination with the world. However, moving to a new home just before the busy holiday season means that he's already behind on holiday orders. And that's before meeting his fated mates.
Yes, two. Is that even possible? And how is he supposed to convince the two that they're meant for both him and each other?
Is fate playing tricks, or are they really meant to be a throuple?

Chapter 1 - Axel
~September~
I scanned the electronic manifest and checked it against the packages in my truck. Not that I thought anything was missing—my loader was great at her job—but better safe than sorry. I didn’t want anybody on my route desperately watching their tracking numbers only to be disappointed because I’d left something at the shipping hub.
Satisfied that everything was loaded and secured, I climbed into the front of my truck, double-checked that I hadn’t forgotten anything on my vehicle safety checklist, and headed out.
The start of my day was always the most hectic and required the most knowledge of my route. I only had a couple of hours to get packages into the hands of people with overnight or guaranteed delivery times, so I couldn’t waste precious minutes stopping at businesses that wouldn’t open for another hour or more.
That was where experience trumped technology. A computer could design the route that took the shortest time or used the least gas, but that was all for nothing if I had to make several trips. I knew which businesses opened when, and where a person would be available for a signature. I was on a first-name basis with the overnight security guard at one state building and was regularly greeted with cheers from the graveyard shift factory guys when I walked in bearing a critical part. Bleary-eyed receptionists would set aside their morning coffee to scrawl their signatures as offices opened. Finally, small shops in strip malls would start opening their doors in the last two hours before guaranteed delivery cutoffs.
I glanced at the dash clock while waiting at a red light.
Six forty-five, perfect.
Rush hour traffic was about to start, but I had enough time to get ahead of it. I’d knock out the earliest deliveries and start rolling up to the office buildings just as the employees settled in.
It was a good morning. The early sun had painted the sky in tones of pink, purple, and gold. My favorite station played one good song after another, and the traffic lights seemed to like me.
I was right where I wanted to be on my schedule as I pulled into the parking lot of a law firm at half past eight. I grabbed their normal assortment of large envelopes and small parcels, then hopped down from my truck. I ran my hand through my black hair as I strode toward the entrance.
“Hey, good lookin’,” I teased as I stopped at the reception desk and set the delivery on the counter.
The receptionist, a petite blond omega named Bryce, fluttered his eyelashes. “Oooh, second handsome alpha of the day to flirt. Lucky me.”
I clutched my hand to my chest and stumbled back. “Second?
He giggled. “Tripp beat you here today.”
I gasped. “Not Tripp! My archnemesis!”
My thoughts briefly flitted to the other alpha, who worked for a rival delivery company. I could easily imagine him flirting. His brown hair, green eyes, and boyish good looks probably landed him plenty of omegas.
Bryce crossed his arms and smirked. “Serves you right for taking so long,” he stated, interrupting my thoughts.
My eyes flicked to the clock above his head. “It’s not even nine yet.”
He nodded. “Like I said, you’re slow today.”
“Oh, them’s fightin’ words,” I laughed.
“Aw, you know me. I’m a lover, not a fighter.”
I winked. “So you can dish it out, but not take it?”
“Oh, I can take it,” he smirked. “But we’re thinking of different… its.”
I waggled my finger. “Nope. You’re cute, but I know better.”
He crossed his arms and huffed at me. “Are you calling me high maintenance or something?”
I shook my head. “No. Just that I can tell you’re a man who likes to be shown off. You need an alpha who can take you to parties and events. Sometimes I go to the bar, but, for the most part, I’m a homebody after work. My idea of a nice night is a home-cooked meal, and cuddling to whatever’s on the TV.”
Bryce scrunched his nose. “That’s no fun.”
I nodded. “And that’s why I know better. Wasting time with me would only make it harder for you to find the alpha who can show you off like you deserve.”
“Ok, ok. Flirting only. You know I can’t resist those blue eyes of yours.” He grinned. “See you this afternoon for the outbound?”
“Of course.”
He batted his eyelashes at me. “Looking forward to it.”
I chuckled, shook my head, and headed toward the exit. “The answer is still no, but maybe Tripp will be interested.”
Bryce huffed again. “He’s another flirting-only. The two best-looking alphas I know, and you’ve both rejected me.”
I blinked, then shook my head. “Something’s obviously wrong with him then. Cause you’re a catch.”
“The same could be said of you,” Bryce grumbled as I reached the door.
I laughed. “See you this afternoon.”
He let out a dramatic sigh. “See you then.”
I pushed the door open and strode back to my truck. I had a full day ahead, and I couldn’t let myself get distracted flirting with men who weren’t right for me.
