The Problem with Paddy, Shrew & Company - Book 1 (Novella) Pub owner Patrick O'Dwyer disappears right before his pub's locally-famous Saint Paddy's Day 5K race. His staff suspects foul play and engages Durham's surliest private eye to find him. Dana Slade is a former police detective who got canned after a botched research study warped her DNA. She's a Mutant-American, and none too pleased about it. Her special gifts, unique as they are, hardly make up for her nearly losing her life to an untested drug. If anything, they remind her to never trust a sweet-talking man ever again. It was her ex who signed her up for the study. She takes the case. Within three hours, she locates Mr. O'Dwyer in a Great Smoky Mountains cabin. He's not only hiding. He's keeping a secret. Patrick is enamored of the straight-shooting Dana, and knows not to bother trying to tame the shrew. In fact, he likes her attitude almost as much as he likes her curves. For the first time in three years, Dana thinks she might be able to let her guard down, but that changes when Patrick drags himself home beat up and covered in mud. Apparently, there's a feud raging in the mountains and he's right in the middle of it. As good as he makes her feel, the charming bartender could make her life even more complicated than it already is. Just her luck that the Irishman would come with a heap of baggage instead of a pot of gold. Warnings: Contains adult language and a scene of explicit sexuality.

After six weeks working a grueling undercover job, the last thing Sarah Miller wants is to jump headfirst into another assignment. She doesn’t have a choice. Business is booming at Shrew & Company, and besides the boss lady herself, Sarah’s the only woman equipped to handle the latest were-bear drama. When she gets to the mountains—ready to go in with guns blazing—Dana reassigns her. The circus is in town, and their most famous acrobat has gone missing. Except…he hasn’t. Felipe Castillo is on the run, and whatever is giving him chase is scaring Dana, too. Dana won’t tell Sarah why, but it’s now her job to coax the slippery Spaniard out of hiding and get him someplace safe. That is, assuming they can keep their clothes on. Felipe may not speak English well, but the way his body moves needs no translation. Sarah’s not interested in commitment, especially not with a man who cheats death for a living. Something about the acrobat has her enthralled. Maybe it’s because he has just as many secrets as her…or even more.

The third installment of the Shrew & Company paranormal romance series. Shrew and Company is already down one investigator when the boss Dana sends Tamara Ursu out in search of a rogue Were-bear. Dana didn’t expect her Shrew to go rogue, too. If it weren’t for the plea of Bryan Ridge’s sister, the ladies of the investigation firm would have happily left the missing Bear lieutenant on the run. They’re trying to extricate themselves from the Bear-Catamount conflict—not escalate it further. But when Tamara finds Bryan, he lays out a convincing case for them to partner up…and he wants her stay quiet about it. Bryan intends to oust his Alpha and take the job for himself. Once known as the peacekeepers of the Smoky Mountains, the Bears are now known more for dealing pot than mediating disputes. Bryan wants to bring them back to their respectable origins, which may mean forcing a deeper rift in the already-fractured group. Much to his chagrin, he can’t do it alone. Although Tamara and Bryan get on like fire and ice, she actually thinks his idea is a good one. The sooner the Bear drama gets resolved, the sooner she can return to her routines back in Durham. To complicate matters, proximity to Bryan negatively impacts Tamara’s health, and the Bear part of him wants to take her for a mate. He has little choice but to call in the Shrews for assistance. They’ll help him eliminate his Alpha, but first, Tamara has to deal with the illness that Bryan seems to be both the cause of and cure for.

Maria Weisz has always been Shrew & Company’s most easygoing investigator and the sisterhood relies on her soothing empathy during times of stress.

Although he claims he loves her in spite of her hang-ups, she’s used to the people who claim to love her lying to her. A Shrew and a Bear might make an impressive duo both on the job and off, but Maria can’t trust giving him her heart. She doesn’t want to give Eric the chance to prove that he’s yet another liar. \\\_ Other Shrew & Company stories available now: 1 - The Problem with Paddy 2 - Framing Felipe 3 - Bryan's Betrayal 4 - Following Fabian

The thing is, Andrea Ridge doesn’t expect him to. In spite of Peter being a killer-for-hire, he’s one of the few Bears she feels completely at ease around. She’s used to being the weak link—the victim—and believes that when mating season passes, he’ll change his mind. Sweet Drea is the soothing mate Peter craves, and bold Peter is the protective companion Drea needs.

Bear shifter Soren Ursu claims she’s his mate. But witches like Marcella don’t get mates. Soren hopes he can convince Marcella to accept their connection, but she’s got a one-track mind.

He needs her to understand that nothing bad will happen if she lets him love her…in spite of the fact his parents are trying to pull her into the family’s supernatural assassination business. Marcella can’t help but to be skeptical. Getting close to Soren would force her to reveal shocking secrets about herself that not even her sister knows. She might be perfectly suited to navigate the demands of one of Bear-kind’s most notorious families, but to save Soren from the obligations of his clan, she must be willing to let him rescue her as well.
