They warned her that the cobra’s kisses are poison…

John’s life has been one mistake after another as of late. How does a normal human guy end up turned into a cobra shifter and then become a henchman for evil scientists? Just when he thinks his tenure is over thanks to his boss being destroyed, he ends up right back at the mercy of another.

Rachel and Matthew know they’re not supposed to exist. If FUC knew that their father used experimentation to save their lives, they’d be done for. Or so their father said to ensure they stayed safely hidden in their underground bunker.

But when a new arrival joins the team, Rachel and Matthew start wondering if there isn’t more to life. Matthew believes the answers are at FUCN’A, while Rachel is captivated by her father’s latest prisoner. He doesn’t judge her… but he does warn that her father might also be doing something else. Something dangerous. Something that gets more people hurt.

The things he tells her cannot possibly be true, but she can’t keep away from him either, and taking such risks could prove poisonous for her health.

Two wolf shifters, a matchmaker, and a hospital in the middle of the Colorado mountains. Sparks will fly.

Laura Boyd is used to cleaning up her twin sister’s messes, but this time, it’s worse than ever. While at a charity conference, Laura receives a call that her sister’s in trouble. When Gerri Wilder suggests a mountain hospital and recommends a specific doctor, Laura is relieved. Hopefully, this man will be willing to turn a blind eye to her sister’s mistakes—and hopefully, the secluded location will ensure no tabloids pick up the story.

Dr. Jordan Hill patches up bodies all the time, but sometimes it hits a nerve—like when a rich, spoiled princess endangers the lives of others. He’s not going to let things slide, and he can’t be bought, even if the patient’s sister turns out to be his fated mate.

Despite the two being at odds, their wolf shifter sides have already decided they’re fated mates, and they’re going to have to deal with it!

This paranormal romance is book one in the Shifter Hospital series but can be read as a standalone. This novella is part of Milly Taiden’s Paranormal Dating Agency shared world and features matchmaker extraordinaire Gerri Wilder.

Dr. Thorn Pressly has never fallen for a patient before. In fact, he doesn’t even date. His divorce twenty-five years ago was hard enough, and raising his kids on a weekend-only agreement left no time for dating—not when his cardiology patients had lives that depended on him.

Janell Haring has been living with a heart condition for the past decade. What’s kept her going is her twin boys and her ever-present doctor, even if she’s always had a crush on the sexy silver fox.

But somehow, over the time they’ve known each other, Thorn and Janell have developed something beyond their doctor-patient relationship. Neither will admit it. Neither dare to act on it.

Until Janell needs a hero who can do more than operate on her heart.

Bill isn’t over his ex. He left her high and dry half a year ago, but it’s time he move on. He’s a Grizzly bear shifter with cybernetic enhancements and a dark past. He’s not sure what kind of woman can learn to love a man like that, but if Gerri there is someone out there, then maybe there is.

Ray hates water and boats, but this red panda shifter is going to suck it up and get on board, because where Gerri leads, the wise follow. It’s been far too long since she’s dated anyone—ever since her ex completely ghosted her—and she’s got a good feeling about Gerri’s cruise. Not only is there a chance she can meet her true fated mate, but she could also finally meet her long-lost sisters!

All hopes are dashed, though, when the two exes end up assigned to the same room… and there are no other cabins available!

Lisa hasn’t even been a member of the Nightshade Guild for a month when suddenly, she’s stripped of her powers. After the initial shock, she’s tempted to just give up. Live a life without magic. It would make everything simpler, after all.

There are just a few problems with that.

Someone is targeting the mages of the Nightshade Guild. They want to take them all out so they’re free to wreak havoc over the supernatural world. If Lisa doesn’t take her spot back, then the Nightshade Guild will be incomplete. The rune marking won’t pass to a new mage, and the magical world may once again fall into disarray.

And, the problem that hits closer to home… with no magic, Angus, her dragon familiar, will perish.

With her choice made for her, Lisa will journey to regain her powers. Through that journey she’ll have to confront her biggest flaw: her compulsion to break the rules no matter the cost.

Her journey takes her to a place she least expects it, and waiting for her there, just so happens to be Jason, her ex.

Is the person who stole her powers just messing with her? Tempting her to forget her mission to regain her powers and accept a “normal” life with Jason?

And is the Nightshade Guild’s newest member strong enough to find her powers, and determined enough to stick to the plan?

Lisa Chen has finally made a decision.

She’s going to give up her life of magic and settle for a non-magic life with her human ex.

Well, mostly non-magic. She’d never abandon Angus , her little red dragon familiar.

But no sooner does Lisa reconcile with Jason Cross when a strange symbol appears on her arm. What does it mean? She’ll have to re-enter the magic world to find out, which means leaving Jason yet again.

She promises it will be the last time, but promises are shattered when she uncovers the meaning of the symbol: She’s been chosen to join the world’s twelve most powerful mages on The Nightshade Guild.

She’s shocked. Especially when the other Nightshade Guild members tell her that she needs to return with them and take the oath.

Why did the symbol chose her? She’s never been good at playing by rules, and now she’d be expected to be one of the rule keepers. An impartial protector and enforce of rules regarding the all of the world’s magical creatures.

She’s sure she can’t do it, because Lisa was Mage to Disobey.

Roquette Avery, a white raccoon shifter, is terrified that someone will recognize her for who she truly is: a thief who’s just recently turned her life around and is yearning to find her fated mate.

Gerri doesn’t seem to care about her past, though. She’s personally invited Roquette to her annual Christmas party and promised she’d help her find love. Roquette is nervous but excited until a nefarious-looking vampire shows up to crash the party and tells Roquette she looks exactly like another raccoon shifter she’s met.

A raccoon shifter who stole something very valuable from the vampire’s home.

Before the vampire can harm Roquette, her bodyguard intervenes. He shines a glowing red eye on Roquette and grabs her with his metallic arm, insisting she flee the party. Too bad. This raccoon is not about to jet. No one gets to tell her what to do, no matter who she might resemble.

And besides, Mr. bodyguard is pretty sexy, and Roquette’s got a sneaking suspicion that he’s the person Gerri brought her there to meet.

A cat, a fish, and an evil bird all meet up at a lake…

Steve’s little trip to BC to help his brother turned into more than he bargained for when a strange bird-woman abducted him. Now all of a sudden he can turn into some kind of cat… what?!!

Cindy’s been stuck as a rescued resident at the Furry United Coalition Newbie Academy. The kind agents managed to save her from the lab, but they’ve had no luck reversing whatever experiment gave her permanent gills, rainbow scales, and webbed fingers.

Her roommates have all found love and moved on from the Academy, but Cindy’s lost hope on that ever happening for her. Until she meets Steve. He sees past her abnormalities. In fact, he thinks she looks like a beautiful mermaid.

Can it be true? Does Cindy finally have a chance at a happily ever after? Or will the evil bird-woman ruin it all when she comes to collect her chicks?

Can a chinchilla shifter and cat shifter find common ground ?

After getting kidnapped, experimented on, and changed forever, Charlie is happy to throw her middle finger up at the world and sleep in her comfortable burrow until the end of time.

If only a handsome, yet annoying, agent of FUC would just leave her alone!

Sam is determined to keep Charlie safe, which means making sure she stays in line. No sneaking out at night to dig cozy beds in the forest, or this cat will hunt her down and return her by the scruff of her neck.

Because a sneaky snake shifter has been terrorizing the FUCN’A rescued experiments, and though Charlie has no memory of him, he seems to have a special interest in her.

Is this fluffy chinchilla all that she seems? Or is her memory loss hiding something more sinister?
