What if your fated mate was just an app swipe away?
Curvy Dina Taylor hates the idea of online dating. It’s something kids do, not 36-year old women, whose boyfriends have left them for the office intern. But her best friend Lauren has a secret she’s bursting to share: there are men out there who absolutely love voluptuous girls like her. All Dina has to do is tap Shiftr, the cute little paw-print app that Lauren has just installed on her phone.
In the time it takes Dina to get over her shock that there are guys who can shift into animals, she’s hit up by Logan – a dark-eyed bear-guy with a torso like sculpted marble and eyes like pools of lust. He tells her that he feels a magnetic connection to her, but before she can tell him that the feeling’s mutual, her clumsy thumb swipes the wrong way, and he’s gone.
Dina is distraught, but Tamika, the creator of Shiftr has a cunning plan that may just bring them together again. Will Dina find the sexy Logan in the midst of the eccentric matchmaker’s beautiful, opulent summer garden party? And will they discover that they’re fated to be together?

Not afraid to go ‘the whole nine yards’, the Bear Heat Strippers are a big hit during their opening show, especially Timo, who gets over his stage fright to take a pretty, curvy girl up on stage for a very sensual dance. He’s only supposed to pretend to kiss her, but his bear has other ideas, and a steamy night of passion follows.
Raven Hartman was only in town for a bachelorette party, and the next day she's mortified about her – admittedly scorching – one-night stand. She resolves to forget all about it, but she’s fallen for Hope Valley and spontaneously decides to move there, leaving her dull hometown far behind.
Meanwhile, Timo can't forget the beautiful girl who got away, and when the Bear Heat Strippers have finished touring, he goes on a desperate search for her.
Raven thinks Timo’s a player, and he despairs of ever finding her, but when Lauren – the mate of the clan’s alpha – finds out what's happened, she's got a feeling that Shiftr, the secret dating app, will solve all their problems.
Will Shiftr pick the two of them out as purrfectly matched, or will Raven’s huge bombshell and Timo’s furry secret send them running off in opposite directions?

When her two best friends, who disappeared in mysterious circumstances ten years earlier, come to the office looking for mates, she couldn't be more shocked. Will their friendship be the same when she finds out what happened to them, and what’s she supposed to do with the creeping attraction she feels for the sexy, strong, protective men they've become?
As the son of an alpha, Christian Taylor carries a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. Not least the pressure to be a perfect son to parents who’ve already lost one child. He’s overjoyed to have his best friend back in his life, and he’s doing his best to ignore the fact that she’s turned into a stunning beauty. But suddenly, his father’s life is in danger, and he’s got to take care of his clan. Christian has a very important question to ask Jessica, but one that will leave her with a terrible choice to make.

Ryzard Adler has always been the hothead of the Hope Valley bears, and a dark past makes him believe that he's not mate material. But when his clan forces him to find a mate through Shiftr and a 95% match comes up, an even darker secret comes out in the shape of Marilyn Faustino, which threatens his whole future in the clan.
When Marilyn had a one-night stand with a sexy, husky-voiced stranger two years earlier, she not only got scared half to death when he accidentally shifted, but became the mother of two identical cubs. She never expected to see their father again, and when Ryzard comes back into her life, seemingly as irresponsible as ever, the feisty beauty is less than impressed.
Ryzard needs to show Marilyn that he can be a good father to the boys. He still doesn’t believe that he’s good enough for their mother, but will his efforts convince him that maybe he’s mate material after all?

Nash is always playing the clown, determined that no-one will see the scars – both physical and emotional – that lie beneath his playful facade. But the more he wants the sexy, spunky Kenzie, the more he drives her crazy and pushes her away.
Running from trouble back home and a forced marriage to her bullying cousin, Kenzie has found sanctuary in Hope Valley.

Kenzie is stunned and none too pleased when Shiftr matches her with Nash. But soon after, they make a shocking discovery which turns everything on its head.

He knows he’s going to get kicked out of the clan if he doesn’t shape up and find himself a mate fast, but there’s a huge obstacle that nobody else knows about. Nobody, that is, except for a petite, curvy teacher named Dolores, who’s way too smart for her own good.
Dolores Martin has learned the hard way that, while some scars are visible, others lie deep inside. And unfortunately, following a horrific trauma, she has plenty of both. When they threaten her chance of making a new life in Hope Valley, a tall, gruff, yet sexy stranger is the one person who can understand. But when Shiftr matches the two of them, they might as well be speaking different languages.
The last thing Olsen deserves is a human mate, especially one as intelligent as Dolores. Meanwhile, Dolores’ promise not to give up on Olsen keeps getting smacked down by his constant rejections.
Can these two big-hearted, but wounded souls find the strength they need in each other, and trust themselves to open their hearts to their perfect match?

The app’s supposed to find your perfect match.

Except…it does.
And he’s big and growly.
A bear shifter.
And hotter than any guy has the right to be.

The one with the sexy dark eyes that are blazing with anger at me.
And now I’m really freaking out.
Connor

I am dying to take care of her.

Frankie

Selma Gaskill is in big trouble. She needs to find a fake boyfriend to take to her sister’s engagement party—and fast. What was she thinking telling everyone she was in a relationship, to hide the pain and embarrassment of being dumped by her first boyfriend? The sexy guy who’s working on her house seems like a perfect candidate - except that the moment she tries to hire him, he runs away.
Frankie Whitlock is sure his sexy client, Selma, is up to something. While he’s doing his best to build an ornamental gazebo for her, she seems to be secretly snapping photos of him. The woman is too flaky for her own good, but her sweet, curvy hips and infectious laugh are driving his bear crazy in a way Frankie doesn’t like one bit.
When Selma tries to hire him to be her fake boyfriend, Frankie is about ready to flip out. Growing up with a cheating father has given Frankie a hatred of lying and a conviction he’ll never find his mate. But before he knows it, he finds himself agreeing to help her. What he didn’t bank on was her parents’ arrival forcing them to spend a lot more time together, and him starting to realise that Selma’s flaky ways conceal a strong personality and a pure heart.
Just when things are heating up between them, a poor match on Shiftr throws a spanner into the works. Can the blue-eyed bear and the bubbly beauty get past their differences and prove the little dating app wrong, or are they destined to be conflicted forever?

Niall
2019
Sometimes all it takes is a second chance.
Niall Crawford has given up on dating. He’s sick of Shiftr, with its glittering promises of 90% matches that turn out to be nothing but mistakes. That’s just fine, because he’s stuck in Devil’s Back Ridge, two hours outside of Hope Valley, being temporary Alpha to a ragtag bunch of half-civilized beasts. He suspects Connor sent him here because he’s bringing the clan down with his inability to find a mate. Fair enough. But the problem is worse than any of them realize. Niall’s bear is trapped inside him. And the beasts sense it, which is bad news. When Timberson, the coyote shifter, steals Niall’s phone and uses Shiftr to trick an unsuspecting woman to come to Devil’s Back Ridge, Niall’s world nearly implodes. She is none other than Marcia, Niall’s first love, who tore his heart in two, sixteen years earlier.
Marcia Hunt has left her old life behind. With her career and marriage in ruins, she has moved to Hope Valley and signed up to Shiftr. She’s lost her heart already, but maybe she can find the loyalty and protection she craves. When Niall rescues her from Timberson’s entrapment, old feelings come rushing back. He’s no longer the boy she once knew, though—he’s darker, tortured and full of secrets. He tells her she can’t stay, but he needs help—even if he’s too proud to admit it—and she’s not leaving him again.
It’s dangerous having Marcia in the territory—and not only because the beasts are not allowed to be around women. When Marcia’s suggestion that Niall fake-claims her results in a real kiss, tensions simmer even higher. The years have done nothing to quell the deep passion between them, but will it be enough to overcome the wounds of the past and help Niall to recover his bear in time to save them both?
This is a standalone book, full of romance, laughs and sexy shifters. HEA and no cheating, of course!

Curvy Abigail Slade loves weddings. As the maid of honor for her best friend, she intends to make everything perfect. Nothing will stand in her way, especially not Dalton Tucker.

He might be the best-looking guy in the world, but she doesn’t trust him one bit.

The app must have lost its smarts and so has his bear, which is going crazy around the curvy beauty.
