In a small town where unusual things are happening to ordinary people...a squirrel is born. Gary's neighbor Marie is an uptight librarian with no sense of humor. Marie's neighbor Gary is an obnoxiously loud and footloose theater guy with no sense of boundaries. When Gary wakes up with a sudden and unpredictable ability to shift into a squirrel, he's desperate for answers. When he hits up the library for research, he runs into Marie and discovers an unexpected ally in uncovering the mysteries of transformation that are spreading through the sleepy town of Anders Canyon...and an unexpected interest in his former enemy-next-door. Suddenly Squirrel is a hot and hilarious grumpy-and-sunshine, opposites-attract shifter short romance romp, with copious musical theater references, an undercover shifter book club, and side-splitting shifting mishaps.
