Books by "K.C. Wells" (61)

Im Dorf heißt es, Naomi Teedle wäre eine Hexe. Alle gehen ihr aus dem Weg. Außer natürlich, wenn sie ihre Heilkräuter brauchen. Naomi lebt allein am Ortsrand von Merrychurch. Da sie keine sehr liebenswerte Zeitgenossin ist, hat damit niemand ein Problem. Aber dann wird ihre Leiche gefunden - den Mund vollgestopft mit ihren eigenen Heilkräutern - und plötzlich hat niemand mehr ein böses Wort über sie zu sagen.

Jonathon de Mountford gewöhnt sich langsam an das Leben in dem großen Herrenhaus, das er von seinem Onkel geerbt hat. Und es ist kein einsames Leben: Dafür sorgt Mike Tattersall, der Besitzer des örtlichen Pubs. Jonathon ist über den Mord entsetzt, wundert sich aber auch über den plötzlichen Meinungsumschwung der Dorfbewohner. Hatte niemand im Dorf einen Grund, Naomi Teedle den Tod zu wünschen? Er und Mike beschließen, die Sache nicht einfach auf sich beruhen zu lassen, sondern stattdessen der örtlichen Polizei bei den Ermittlungen zu helfen. Das Problem ist nur, dass ihre „Hilfe“ mehr als nur einen Verdächtigen zutage fördert. Und je länger sie ermitteln, umso länger wird die Liste …

En tant que membre d’une équipe militaire, Crank doit garder la tête froide. Son unité en dépend. C’est pourquoi les rêves sensuels récurrents qu’il fait – ceux qui mettent en scène un requin métamorpheaux cheveux et aux yeux marron foncé – le déconcentrent totalement. D’autant plus que le métamorphe est un homme.

Vic, le métamorphe requin du Groenland, n’arrête pas de penser à Crank, un militaire humain qu’il a rencontré lorsque Vic a été appelé en tant que consultant. L’homme semble être un pilote aguerri, et il serait heureux de l’avoir à ses côtés, à plus d’un titre. Et c’est un problème, d’abord parce que Vic est amoureux de son petit ami, Saul, mais aussi parce que Crank est sarcastique, irrévérencieux… et hétérosexuel.

Le problème atteint son paroxysme lorsque Saul découvre que son compagnon rêve d’un autre homme que lui. Saul n’est pas heureux de cette découverte. Mais lorsque Crank commence à envahir ses rêves, il doit revoir ses sentiments. Sa vie peut en dépendre.

Mais l’exploration du lien grandissant entre eux trois devra attendre. La mission à venir exige toute l’attention de l’équipe. Ils sont sur le point de découvrir quelque chose d’énorme et ils ont gravement sous-estimé l’ennemi…

Bei seiner Ankunft wartet Dominic nicht am Bahnhof, und als Jonathon ihn schließlich tot in seinem Arbeitszimmer auffindet - offenbar infolge eines Sturzes -, stellt sich seine ganze Welt auf den Kopf.

Lions & Tigers & Bears: Book Two

As part of a military team, Crank needs to keep his head on straight. His unit depends on it. So the recurring sensual dreams he’s having—the ones featuring a shark shifter with dark brown hair and eyes—really screw with his focus. Especially since the shifter is a guy.

Greenland shark shifter Vic can’t stop thinking about Crank, a human military guy he met when Vic got called in for a consult. Crank seems handy with anything that flies, and Vic would be happy to have him at his back, in more ways than one. And that’s a problem—firstly because Vic’s in love with his boyfriend, Saul, but also because Crank is sarcastic, irreverent… and straight.

The problem comes to a head when Saul discovers Vic has been dreaming about a man who isn’t him. Saul does not share. But when Crank starts invading Saul’s dreams too, he has to reassess his feelings. His life may depend on it.

Exploring the growing connection between the three of them will have to wait, though. The upcoming mission demands the team’s full attention. They’re about to discover something huge, and they have badly underestimated the enemy….
