Books by "K.C. Wells" (62)

The lines between shifters and humans are blurring, and the journey of discovery that began when a lion, a tiger, and a bear found each other—and learned that mates exist—has taken a new direction. More mates are finding each other, and three seems to be the charm.

Brick, a powerful polar bear shifter, and his kitty shifter mate Aric are part of a shifter/human team searching for the camp where their third mate, Seth Miles, has been taken. Since Dellan’s rescue from his stepbrother’s clutches, the team has learned the horrifying truth behind the Geran faction’s plan to capture and imprison shifters and ensure bloodline purity.

They also have another shifter to rescue from the same camp: Seth’s father, Jake Carson. Except Jake is Dellan’s father too, captured by the Gerans three decades ago and until recently, believed to be dead. The camp is like a fortress, and the rescue operation is looking like an impossible quest.

What no one anticipated was help from an unexpected source.  Dellan is about to learn why the power-hungry Gerans took his father in the first place--and what they want next.

In this latest installment of Lions, Tigers & Bears, K.C. Wells doubles down on the intrigue… and the passion.

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.

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…

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.

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….
