Summary: Book 3 Stockton Wolves series – can be read as standalone. Complete story. Roan didn’t expect to be put in a jail cell by the man who was meant to be his mate. But it wasn’t as though his life had ever been easy. In his world Omega wolves were sold as soon as they became useful, and he’d been trained his whole life in the arts of keeping a clean house and a Master happy. Unfortunately for him, being looked after was the last thing his mate seemed to want or need. Mace was happy enough in his life. Women seemed attracted to his bad boy looks and his surly attitude. They never stuck around, but then he was married to his job, so he didn’t mind being alone at nights. And he had a pack. Okay, that wasn’t something he’d been raised to believe in, but he’d spent enough time with Shane and Dimitri and the rest of the guys to know they were like anyone else. They just sprouted fur on occasion, and ran on four legs instead of two. So when Dimitri confronted him with the fact that the cute little shifter he’d booked the day before was his mate, he had a lot of thinking to do – dealing with man bits was the least of his problems. A serial killer with blond women in his sights, a whole host of misunderstandings, and the protective antics of Kalel, the cutest little cat shifter in existence, are just some of the hurdles these two men are going to have to overcome before they can have their HEA. Warning: contains an Omega shifter who will break your heart, a gruff human detective who has a lot to learn about mates, and a pack that works overtime to keep their members safe.  Contains M/M intimate situations and off page references to child abuse. If these are triggers for you, please don’t buy. As always, no cheating, no cliffhangers and an HEA guaranteed.

Summary: “Boom.” The word was the barest whisper, and if it hadn’t been for Giorgio’s hound, he never would’ve heard it. Hellhound Giorgio was the first to admit that the warehouse he and his colleague had been sent to looked like something found in a horror movie set. Remote, looking deserted, it was easy to think there would be nothing to find inside but rats. Unfortunately, his assessment was deeply flawed and what was worse, he found a living survivor under a pile of dead bodies. A man who would prove to be his fated mate. “How did you and your friend end up in that warehouse last night? I doubt you got a message from the Fates saying, ‘get there quick or you’ll lose your chance for a mate until they get reborn again’.” Enda Cochrane believed he was minutes away from dying when he heard a voice that sent his bird spirit fluttering. But while being saved by a man who was his fated mate should've been cause for celebration, Enda knew their path together wouldn't be easy. His life never had been, and he had no reason to think anything had changed. Someone still wanted him dead and having a mate wasn't going to change that. I just want one day when I can pretend that my life is normal, that no one is out to kill me, and that I can be safe and happy with you. As if Enda and Giorgio's life wasn't already complicated enough, the gods decided to get involved. The issue had a lot to do with Enda's past, but the problem with that was there was so much he didn't know. When the plan is put in place to flush out the person who wanted Enda dead, that should've worked... but did I mention godly interference? Magical Beast is an MM Paranormal Fated Mates story. While it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone. HEA is guaranteed, but the characters really had to work for this one.
