Book 1
Recently divorced from an abusive husband, Daniela Reyes moves into a rental house in the middle of nowhere. Finding love is the furthest thought from her mind until she meets the attractive widower down the lane. He and the wild bear who visit her property are the perfect distraction from the ex-husband devoted to ruining her new life.
Russell Hawkins is a widowed southern gentleman with charm. As a werebear, he roams the woods with his dog, the perfect diversion from his grief — and the voluptuous divorcee down the lane. He isn't ready to move on, but intervening in an altercation between his neighbor and her ex-husband changes everything for him. She needs more than a one-time protector — he also wants to give her his heart. But danger is on the horizon for Daniela. A divorce decree is only a piece of paper, and it won't keep her safe from the desperate man haunting her new home.
ATTENTION
This is a standalone, but each story will feature a different war hero.
Book 2
Leigh Denton has made her share of mistakes, but the judgmental residents of Quickdraw, Texas will never allow her to forget. Drugs and a history of criminal activity checker her traumatic past. Now she’s cleaned up her act and fighting to regain custody of her infant. Having a relationship isn’t part of her plan.
Ian MacArthur is an eagle shifter and Air Force veteran with a big heart. His work takes him around the world, but R&R brings him back home to a town where rising drug problems are taking over the community. Falling in love with a lost soul named Leigh wasn’t part of his plan.
Leigh needs to prove she can provide a steady home, driving financially secure Ian to lend his money and his name to help. There’s just one problem: Eagles mate for life and soaring to her rescue will cost more than he’s able to give.
Book 3
Can be read as a standalone with HEA.
Jada Hunt knows her town has issues. As the owner of Quickdraw’s bustling new spa, she isn’t prepared to move without a fight. Quickdraw is home, and she plans to stand her ground.
Cougar shifter Taylor Morrison is undercover, a fresh face in a town known for its troubles. While integrating into Quickdraw’s criminal underbelly to find the source of its drug problems, he inadvertently discovers his fated mate in a headstrong woman named Jada.
Jada is the daughter of the new police chief, a man who strongly objects to his child associating with a known felon. But fate waits for no one, and if Taylor wants his girl, he’ll have to play a dangerous game to maintain his cover while proving he’s more than a criminal identity.
Taylor can’t allow Jada to know his true purpose in Quickdraw, but can she see beyond the phony image?
Book 4
CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE
Former gang enforcer Lyle Davis is newly released from prison. With a laundry list of offenses tainting his reputation, the town's unforgiving population is reluctant to forgive until the local sheriff conscripts Lyle to mentor their neighborhood juvenile delinquents.
Julia Bearheart creates prosthetics for wounded warriors to walk again. Months after she loses her dearest patient, Ian introduces her to Lyle. His loyalty, honesty, and genuine nature is a relief, an abrupt change of pace from stuffy boardroom executives and military suits. So is the hot body he developed in prison.
Julia can't deny Lyle’s rugged looks or southern charm, but he's her patient and she's sworn not to mix business with pleasure.
He knows she's too good for him, but she's the only thing he wants under the mistletoe. If Santa has anything to say about it, maybe both of their Christmas wishes can come true.
Book 5
As the eldest of seven children, Esteban Castillo has spent his life protecting others, at home and in the U.S. Marines. Now he leads the construction company founded by his father, and it thrives under his leadership—until a rivalry with another firm places their livelihood in jeopardy.
Love comes in many forms. For Sasha Vogt, nothing matters more than her two wives, Nandi and Isisa. Together, the women form Houston’s only lion shifter pride, but something is missing from their lives. No man has ever lasted between the three of them, and they doubt one ever will… until Sasha meets Esteban.
Dating multiple women may be a fantasy for some men, but for Esteban it seems too good to be true. And right now, with someone out to ruin his family name, love should be the least of his worries.
This is not a love triangle, this story does not contain cheating, and all activity between the main characters is 100% consensual. Read on if you dare to delve into the tale of a healthy polyamorous relationship between three women in love seeking the alpha to complete their pride in the longest Wild Operatives release to date.

Leigh blames herself for their problems. After a mishap with an IUD and five years of trying to conceive, nothing has worked. A visit to a specialist may be their only chance.
Ian once told her eagles mate for life, but something tells her infertility may be a deal breaker.
