Lon Ewing snowboarded in and turned economist Corey Levigne's life upside down, introducing him to a world he didn't know existed. Corey's still adjusting to a boyfriend who shifts into an otter and raids the koi pond-and now Lon says Corey's department chair is a werewolf? Wolves at the university, wolves in the bank-across Lon's desk sits Professor Melvin Vadas and his hench-wolves, demanding a construction loan for the pack's new lodge in the mountains. There's just one little problem: the proposed building site is home to a breeding population of rare fish. What do wolves care for stupid human rules, an otter who'd barely make a good snack, or one pesky man determined to protect the environment? Once they're snout to snout with Corey and Lon there's more than silverscale dace on the Endangered Species list. Includes "Tail Slide " Fresh powder snow and running water in the Colorado back country call Lon like the moon calls the wolves. Belly-sliding to a good time on the weekends makes up for a workweek at a desk, and meeting Corey adds a whole new level of fun to snowboarding. It's easy to slip away for time alone in the woods without raising suspicion, but how's Lon to entertain himself when bad snow and a worse spill force them off the mountain too early? Never give an otter a box of Cheerios.

Jake Landon thinks a second ranger season in the Colorado Rockies with his hyper-competent lover Kurt Carlson is close enough to heaven, and a national forest big enough to be his closet. City life, school—and the luxuries of electricity and running water—can wait, maybe forever, as long as Jake doesn’t have to come out. He doesn’t plan on Kurt’s vision of his future being as narrow and direct as the single track roads through the woods. “Your future, your fear, and me,” Kurt tells Jake. “You can have two of the three, so choose wisely.” Jake may have no choices left after they stumble on armed men guarding a beautiful but deadly crop that doesn’t belong among the pines and spruces. Angry men with guns are only one danger in the Colorado wilderness, and Jake’s reluctance to come out is now his smallest problem. Kurt’s skills and Jake’s quick wits may not be enough to get them out of this mess—how much of the blood shed on the mountain will be theirs?

A bear walked into a bar-and found a family. The Urso of Ballantine Mountain intended to run a ragtag bunch of shifters out of his territory. Instead, Sawyer Ballantine found his mate. Once the lone bear on the mountain, now Sawyer shares his life and bed with Dillon, who's still learning how to be a proper bear. Sawyer tells the stories of the First Bears, from whom all other bear shifters descended, but how did two male bears become the fathers of many? The varied shifters of Ballantine Mountain coexist peacefully-Sawyer manages them with an iron paw. Yet danger lurks. The wolves have plans of their own, and they don't include taking orders from bears. Two bears, seven wolves, no contest. If Dillon didn't heave every time he smells bacon. Two Bears and a Baby follows on from A Bear Walks Into a Bar but can be read as a standalone. This short novel contains randy bears, rogue wolves, a bitey fox shifter, and a certain amount of morning sickness.

Fresh out of college, Jake Landon's heading to the mountains for a season as a forest ranger. A gap year before returning to school might give him enough time to sort out his residency and his sexuality-he's deep in the closet and a complete rookie. Some crusty old partner who speaks three words a day won't entice him. Except his partner turns out to be Kurt Carlson: confident, competent, and experienced. He's also young, hot, friendly, and considers clothing optional when it's just two guys in the wilderness. Sharing a small cabin with this walking temptation is stressing Jake's sanity-is he sending signals, or just being Kurt? How would Kurt react if he found out his new partner wants to start a fire of a different kind? Jake's terrified-they have to live together for five months no matter what. Enough sparks fly between the rangers to set the trees alight, but it takes a raging inferno to make Jake and Kurt admit to the heat between them.
