The Monster Inside

About The Monster Inside

Metamorph
noun
/me-tə-ˈmȯrf/
1 a: change of physical form, structure, or substance especially by supernatural means

Bruce and Declan are two very different animals despite growing up together. Bruce is more of a soft-hearted romantic who’s forever drawing pictures of his mate while the death of his brother hit Declan hard. It changed him. Now he’s not just an animal but a monster on the inside as well. Seeing a pretty little human in town might get him to turn back into a teddy bear if she gives him some of her honey (I promise this is the last bad bear pun – mainly because I can’t think of any more).

On the other side of town, Bruce finds out that to get to his mate he can be more than just a beautiful mind with great talent. For her, he will let his wild side roar free. He may want to be kind and gentle but the minute someone threatens to take his mate from him he’s going to show them what happens when you get between an animal and its mate, especially when a voice from the past shows up at his door looking to take him back.

This is a double-double virgins book with a happy ever after for both couples. These men are the muscle of the animal army which means they’re large, strong, and ready to tear anyone apart who tries to hurt their mates. Can they find the other half of their souls and calm the monster inside? Let’s hope so or else the alternative will be un-bear-able (okay, THIS is the last one I promise).

Primal Threats

About Primal Threats

Annika Jacobs does not want to go on a planned school trip to Canada, not when it means leaving her family and their uncertain future behind.

But the trip proves even more disastrous than she anticipated, when the plane crashes in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and she and her group of irreconcilable classmates wash up on the shoreline of a mysterious island.

The island holds deep and dangerous secrets that one by one crawl from the shadows and put the teenagers’ lives at constant risk.

While desperately trying to find a way home, Annika and her peers must somehow navigate hunger, thirst, tempestuous weather, injuries, the complexities of teenage relationships, and the twisted secrets embedded in the island itself.

It’s a race against time, a game of survival, a test of unimaginable courage. But Annika knows that as hard as they fight, fate will always have the final say.
