Shifter S Claim Part Ii

In Shifter's Claim Part II, from The Shadow Shifters series by A.C. Arthur, Priya never imagined there was truth to the story she'd been forced to track down, she never imagined coming face to face with a man that can shift into a cat. Bas hadn't meant to reveal himself to her, he'd tried to protect the secret. Now, it was out and he wonders what the reporter will do with the information and more importantly, how the woman will react to this new facet of the man.

Sebastian "Bas" Perry acknowledges there is something physical drawing him to Priya Drake, the inquisitive reporter. She is strong and tenacious and unpredictable, as he soon learns when she follows him to his resort in Sedona. Priya Drake knows what her assignment is, all she has to do is pull it off without getting caught. Desperation pushes her further than she ever imagined and suddenly she realizes she just might be in over her head when she comes face to face with the alluring shapeshifter Sebastian "Bas" Perry once again, in Shifter's Claim Part I, from The Shadow Shifters series by A.C. Arthur.

A Winnipeg Free Press Top Read of 2021 What if David Bowie really was holding the fabric of the universe together? The death of David Bowie in January 2016 was a bad start to a year that got a lot worse: war in Syria, the Zika virus, terrorist attacks in Brussels and Nice, the Brexit vote—and the election of Donald Trump. The end-of-year wraps declared 2016 “the worst … ever.” Four even more troubling years later, the question of our apocalypse had devolved into a tired social media cliché. But when COVID-19 hit, journalist and professor of public policy Andrew Potter started to wonder: what if The End isn’t one big event, but a long series of smaller ones? In On Decline, Potter surveys the current problems and likely future of Western civilization (spoiler: it’s not great). Economic stagnation and the slowing of scientific innovation. Falling birth rates and environmental degradation. The devastating effects of cultural nostalgia and the havoc wreaked by social media on public discourse. Most acutely, the various failures of Western governments in their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. If the legacy of the Enlightenment and its virtues—reason, logic, science, evidence—has run its course, how and why has it happened? And where do we go from here?

A shifter without a mate is a shifter without a mind. It's been five years since Shilo's mate walked out on her and she's been just a little, tiny bit unstable, a feeling that isn't helped by the impending fight with a neighboring colony. She might not be all there, but even a crazed shifter knows waking up in a stranger's bed hours from home to find the contacts from her pack murdered means she's in trouble. Aimless and restless and unconcerned with anything beyond his next one-night stand, Waylon agrees to act as bodyguard for some shifter pack liaison embroiled in a power struggle. What could it hurt? He's been aching for five years, and maybe this assignment will take his mind off all he's lost. But when he meets his client, his world stops. It's her. His mate. The one he left. Thanks to their history, he can't just walk away and leave her as a target. Thanks to her instability, she can't go home without backup. If either wants to survive the bloody present, both will have to set aside their heartbreaking past and fight for their uncertain future. Claim your own copy today.
