Although this book can be read as a stand-alone, it is also a continuation of the Howlin Ranch series with many more to come. Rodney Artair likes his peaceful life. Being the chief of the local Bear clan is his main focus, along with running the diner he owns. All of the shifters in the area work as one, which is not the case in other parts of the world. His friendship with the Alphas in the area would seem strange, but not to him. When Aubrey Lovell, the Black Claw Alpha and renown seer, calls to tell him there is a problem, he rushes to help. What he doesn’t realize is that his life is about to take a dramatic turn.

Mac was proud to have been chosen by Sunny to be part of the new combined guard. Springtime was there and area was already attracting visitors. One group of four, in particular, was his and his Cat shifter partner’s first assignment. Mac wasn’t complaining. The lone woman in the group was definitely worth keeping an eye on. He wasn’t supposed to chase women on the job. Of course, he could argue that chasing this particular woman was his job. Tanya’s father’s death, still new, was the only reason she was on this trip. While the Professor she came with looked for some lost tribe, she was looking for dragons. This wouldn’t be the first time she searched for the unknown, but it would be the last. After all, dragons don’t exist and there isn’t proof, they ever did. Chasing the supernatural and the paranormal was her father’s dream. It was time she found her own.

River’s, assignment was simple, get the samples that Tanya had sent to her friend Claire before they could be tested. Now, he was on a race with the clock to get the samples and her co-worker Claire back home where they would be safe. Claire has her own reasons for working alone in the basement lab well past midnight. It is clear that there is something odd about the sample her friend Tanya sent her. Something she’s never seen before. When River arrives trying to explain that she is in danger, she is stunned more than afraid. She barely has time to doubt him before another threat, one that shouldn’t be possible, walks in the door, clearly willing to do anything for the samples. Her best hope of getting out alive is trusting a man she just met.

Trey is the final book in the Ridgeland Bear series. The first sign Trey had that this was not going to be a typical day was that Aubrey, the Black Claw Alpha and one of three seers in the region, was waiting for him at the check point. The check point allows cars in and out of the region. There were still factions out there that were against the blended community and the uniting of all Shifter types, but they had been quiet lately. Before she could even explain why she was waiting for him specifically, an unexpected visitor from an unlikely source arrives, asking for help. It doesn’t take Psychic ability for Trey to know that this moment is a pivotal moment for his people. What he doesn’t know is that the moment is far more important to him and to the unexpected guest that Aubrey had clearly expected.
