by Pamela Pérez Casas Anne TeninoEn un futuro en que los Estados Unidos se han divido por líneas partidistas, el trabajo del agente Matt Tennimore es rescatar apersonas de los Estados Rojos Confederados, ya sean agentes especiales de su propio país que hayan sido capturados o ciudadanos homosexuales de los Estados Rojos que hayan solicitado asilo. Sin embargo, lo que nunca imaginó fue tener que rescatar a su amor platónico de la secundaria, James Ayala, también conocido como el chico que lo condenó al ostracismo por ser gay. Rescatar a James no va a ser fácil: está plagado de nano-dispositivos de seguimiento y tiene un implante cerebral cibernético que le concede un poder psíquico que no está seguro de cómo controlar. Y esas son las buenas noticias. ¿Las malas? El implante pone en peligro la estabilidad mental de James. Así que están huyendo, evitando la vigilancia de naves pilotadas por inteligencias artificiales y ocultándose de la milicia enemiga. Y entonces James confiesa que la razón por la que lo atormentaba en la secundaria era porque lo deseaba. Matt no puede resistirla tentación que James supone, pero en el caso de que consigan llegar vivos a casa, quiere mucho más que sexo. Aunque no puede evitar preguntarse si realmente James es una buena opción cuando tiene una bomba de relojería en su cerebro; y también está la cuestión de cuánto habrá cambiado realmente desde la secundaria.

by Louis Tarpin Anne TeninoDans un futur où les États-Unis ne le sont plus, l'agent Matt Tennimore doit aider des gens à sortir des États Rouges Confédérés, qu'ils aient été capturés en tant qu'agents spéciaux de son pays ou en tant qu'homosexuels ayant demandé l'asile. Il ne s'attendait cependant pas à devoir sauver l'homme pour qui il avait un faible au lycée, l'homme qui l'avait détesté à cause de son homosexualité. Sauver James Ayala ne sera pas facile : bourré de nanos-traqueurs et avec un implant cybernétique qu'il n'est pas sûr de pouvoir contrôler mais qui lui confère des pouvoirs psychiques, est-il digne de confiance ? D'autant que l'implant semble compromettre la stabilité mentale de James. Pourtant ils fuient ensemble, entre drones de surveillances, IA tueuses et miliciens ennemis. Jusqu'à ce que James avoue avoir détesté Matt parce qu'il le désirait. Matt ne peut résister à la tentation qui lui est offerte, pour ainsi dire, sur un plateau ; mais il veut autre chose qu'une nuit de sexe, s'ils parviennent à rentrer chez eux vivants. James est-il vraiment le bon ? Alors qu'il a une bombe à retardement dans le cerveau ? Et a-t-il vraiment changé ?

If she had her way, she would never return, but she needs to sell her childhood home so she can move on with her life. Her plan is to slip into town, sell the house, and relocate as far away as possible before anyone finds out. Not an easy task for a grizzly shifter easily scented by anyone who wanders close enough. Austin Tarben has spent half his life silently pining for the girl he was certain was his mate before she left town with her parents in the middle of the night fifteen years ago. Believing she willingly dumped him for his brother before she disappeared, he has longed for answers for all these years. When Austin learns his childhood sweetheart is in town, he forces himself to confront her if for no other reason than peace of mind. But Nuria doesn’t welcome him with open arms. In fact, she’s furious. As the true story of what happened in high school unfolds, the two mates must decide if they can put the past behind them and forge a future together. But Austin isn’t the only shifter in town shocked by Nuria’s arrival. It would seem she has a pile of enemies. Before Austin and Nuria can possibly reconcile, they need to figure out who wants her dead and why. There are some misunderstandings even mates can’t overcome, and it’s difficult to be certain the act of binding together for the rest of their lives will create a bond strong enough to heal the hurt.

Grizzly Mountain (Arcadian Bears #1)
by Becca JamesonHeather Simmons is excited to start a new job in Alberta, Canada, as a glaciologist. But when a minor accident leaves her trapped on a hiking trail overnight, she finds herself facing a burly mountain man and a pair of grizzly bears. From that moment forward, things could not get weirder. Isaiah Arthur knows instinctively that Heather is his mate the moment he scents her clothing before heading up the mountain to rescue her. The sensation is confusing since she is obviously human, and converting a human to his species is strictly forbidden. A rogue shifter takes Heather’s transition out of Isaiah’s hands, however. Isaiah is left with no choice but to take her home and find a way to inform her of her unintended fate, while fighting the intense need to make her his as soon as possible. The North American governing body, the Arcadian Council, is not amused by the rare turning of a human, and chaos ensues as Isaiah races against the clock to bind his mate to him forever before someone steps in the way and takes the opportunity out of his hands.
Grizzly Perfection (Arcadian Bears #6)
by Becca JamesonThe scent of her mate was in the air… When Adriana lifted her head and scented her mate for the first time, the world stopped spinning. She’d never met him, but she knew exactly who he was. Nolan Osborn. He was right outside. And then he wasn’t. He could not risk her life… Nolan’s heart skipped a beat as he stepped from the car. He had no idea who belonged to the scent that would change his life, but he couldn’t risk meeting her tonight. His life was in danger. He would not risk hers as well. But he was not her only option… When Reid got the call that his best friend needed him, he didn’t hesitate. Nolan’s mate was in danger, and she needed a bodyguard. It was an easy job. And then it wasn’t. This could not be happening. Grizzly shifters mated in pairs. Why would Fate put two men in Adriana’s path, forcing her to choose?
Grizzly Promise (Arcadian Bears #4)
by Becca JamesonWhen grizzly shifter Wyatt Arthur arrives in Calgary, Alberta, for a business trip, he finds himself blindsided by the shy, skittish woman he is certain will be his mate. In a peculiar turn of events, she already has a boyfriend—a man Wyatt is confident is not interested in women. With no other options, he returns home, hoping his mate will eventually come to her senses and give him a chance. After suffering a traumatizing experience as a teenager, Paige Osborn doesn’t date. Ever. In fact, she keeps men at bay by pretending to be in a committed relationship with her human best friend, Gavin Wright. There’s just one problem. Gavin is gay. Gavin has never been comfortable keeping Paige’s secret from her family, but they have an arrangement. She keeps his sexual preferences confidential, and he keeps her sexual assault from the world. What Paige doesn’t factor into her life is the possibility that someone might one day cross her path who causes her to waver on her conviction never to bind to anyone, human or shifter. In a twist of Fate—or perhaps Fate knows exactly what She’s doing—Paige finds herself moving to Wyatt’s hometown of Silvertip, Alberta, to do research for the summer. Silvertip is not big enough to hide from anyone, and Paige will be forced to face her past and her future. Now she just needs to figure out how to reconcile the two and find the strength to let Wyatt into her heart.
Grizzly Secret (Arcadian Bears #3)
by Becca JamesonGrizzly shifter Joselyn Arthur has been living a lie. She’s been lying to her parents, her siblings, and even herself. The decision to move back to her hometown in the mountains of Alberta, Canada, after university and take a job in the family brewery two years ago was the dumbest choice she’d ever made. Alton Tarben has also been working his butt off for the past two years in his family’s brewery on the other side of town. He too is questioning why on earth he thought this would be a good idea. He’s lonely and bored, and his bed needs warming. When the two breweries end up in a battle over new product launches, Joselyn and Alton decide they’ve had enough. Enough hiding. Enough sneaking around. Enough separation. The problem is that life is not that simple. Silvertip isn’t progressive enough to tolerate the binding of two shifters from rival bear packs. Joselyn and Alton must decide if they’re finally willing to put their happiness first and risk losing their families and their community.
Grizzly Survival (Arcadian Bears #5)
by Becca JamesonGavin Wright is human. He is also not out. He has no intention of ever coming out. He’s unwilling to face the condemnation. Lucky for him, he’s had the privilege of hiding his true self inside a fake relationship with his best friend, Paige, for ten years. Dale Gerben is a grizzly shifter. As such, he has the ability to sense things humans cannot. Therefore, it comes as a surprise to him that Gavin thinks he’s so well hidden from the world. He isn’t hidden from Dale. And Dale is up for the challenge. It’s a summer fling. No one in the human world will find out. Dale needs someone to help him heal old wounds, and Gavin needs someone to show him what he’s capable of if he’d just trust himself. No one needs to get hurt. Until they do… The odds are not in their favor. It’s forbidden to change a human into a shifter. It’s challenging to maintain a life-long mixed relationship. Gavin has doubts. Dale has secrets. Two young girls are missing. There’s an accident. A race against the clock. Neither man will ever be the same.
