With her college days coming to an end and her trust fund on the line, it’s time to make some changes. Iris Wendel, daughter of an uber-billionaire control freak, is on a rebellious path. It isn’t the ogre part of Daniel’s personality that’s needed toning down over the centuries, but his inner Viking. She’s intelligent enough she doesn’t annoy him simply by opening her mouth, and sturdy enough to withstand the things he plans to do to her. Daniel hitches a ride to Italy with a friend to attend an auction, and he returns home with a statuesque gazelle who was aiming for an applied physics degree on a basketball scholarship. However, a college scout turned her in, and now she’s owned by the Concilio, trained as a pleasure slave. She grew up in flyover country, and despite the Concilio’s rules against shapeshifters playing organized sports with humans, she played high-school basketball in her small town without getting caught. Mariah is a sexy gazelle shifter, tall and lithe. He has needs few would volunteer to slake. Since he lives an hour and a half from his coterie, he maintains his own flock, and he purchases slaves through the Concilio, rather than dealing with the hassle of enticing shapeshifters to voluntarily provide his sustenance. Now he’s a nearly seven-foot-tall genius vampire who consults for NASA. Is she even capable of having a normal relationship? Because now, anything short of total freedom feels a bit like having her wings clipped all over again.īut she’s going to transition to a dragon soon, and clipping a swan’s wings is one thing, while clipping a dragon’s wings is an entirely different matter.Daniel was part ogre and part human, way back in the sixth century. This is about more than princess and biker, it’s about a monogamous creature in a relationship with one who isn’t, it’s about a protective personality versus a woman who hasn’t been free to be herself for years. Worlds collide when a grizzly bear and a swan from opposite worlds find common ground. When he was killed in the battle, she found herself alone and adrift. The decimated Birmingham RTMC is struggling after most of their members died during the battle between good and evil, but the small group of brothers who survived form a tight group.Įmber is a swan shifter who was owned by the Owl King for years - a princess given in tribute, but she grew to love him despite the fact it wasn’t a healthy relationship. In human form, he’s a huge mountain of a man who works as a bouncer for the MC’s strip club.
