Mercenary's Mate — Marie Cole

Lake Valley Shifters Book Two

Claiming his mate might be trickier than shifting for the first time...

Greg Little has one goal: find out who killed his parents and orphaned him and his sister. Oh, and hopefully stay alive during the process. Too bad life has a way of throwing things at him he didn't expect. Take being bitten by a shifter and turning into a wolf -- he'd never seen that one coming. Even more surprising is Greg's mate turns out to be Derren Stone, a close friend, fellow mercenary, and bear shifter.

Derren has waited five years to claim his mate, partly because of fear of rejection and partly because of stubborn pride. But he won't wait any longer. Now he only has to convince Greg they are true mates and help Greg with both his shifting and his search for his parents' killers. But the further Greg delves into what happened to his parents, the more they realize the conspiracy goes deeper than they ever imagined.

Now Derren can only hope they both make it out of this alive.
