Love is possible when the spirits move you. Skinwalker Raven Walkingman is the number one cowboy at the Darque and Knight rodeo, at the top of his game.

He doesn’t need to fall for a ragtag cheetah. Cat shifter Rocket is fast, but he only has so many lives left, and he spends more time injured than not. He’s the worst rider in the Darque and Knight rodeo. Raven’s spirit guides adore him, though, and are more than happy to support him in his work and pursuit of Raven.

Love and compassion, when least expected, help the hopeless soar. Gargoyle Killian has the unenviable job at Darque and Knight Rodeo of wrangling the sideshow acts.

The more he learns about Micah’s situation with his reprehensible handler, the more determined he is to protect Micah. Trapped painfully between two forms—man and snake—Micah knows nothing about his past except for what his handler tells him. The attentions of the gargoyle boost his mood, but what can Killian do to help him find the truth he seeks? This is a previously published work. The publisher has changed.

Tails and Whiskers

2016

Love conquers injustice. Tiger shifter Dmitri loves his new home at the Darque and Knight rodeo, and he adores all of his new friends. His past as a circus animal remains strong in his memory, though, particularly when he sees inequality, like the hot little fox shifter who isn’t allowed on rodeo grounds unless he’s working. When fox Isaac meets the handsome, burly tiger, the attraction is instant. He’d love to spend more time in Dmitri’s den, but as a contracted performer his access to the rodeo is limited. It doesn’t help that his greedy goblin boss refuses to loosen his grip. Can Dmitri and Isaac find a way to be together, and to make a change for the better of everyone at D&K? This is a previously published work. The publisher has changed.

In fact, these days he can’t remember anything about his life. He just travels, following Darque and Knight across the country. When Kelly realizes that Jon has been on the receiving end of a bit of magical amnesia, he knows he has to do something. He thinks he’ll just help Jon move on, but that’s before he falls for the guy.
