Summary: He was raised to believe he was unclean, but the beast inside refused to die. Jesse’s past is carved into his soul—a memory of a life he's been trying to outrun. As a bear shifter raised in a cult that forbade him from shifting, he was taught to abhor his own nature. When his parents sent him to a gay conversion therapy camp after finding male-on-male porn in his browser history, it broke what was left of his spirit. He learned early that love could wound deeper than any claw. Now free but fractured, Jesse numbs the pain with booze, drugs, and selling himself to stay alive. When he moves to Creekside with his best friends, he hopes for peace—quiet nights, clean air, and no memories. But peace doesn’t last long when his addictions catch up to him. Then Lucas enters the picture after a wild night in Metro City. A wolf shifter with an easy smile, Lucas is everything Jesse wants to avoid—kind, curious, dangerously sincere, and innocent. But in a town where the forest hums peacefully and calmly, with Lucas at the helm, even a broken bear might learn what it means to be loved—if he’s brave enough to stop running. Gritty, emotional, and intimate, Undesirable is a shifter romance about survival, the anguish of addiction, and the quiet strength it takes to let someone love you.

Summary: He never thought he deserved forgiveness. He certainly never expected love. Carter has been running from the wreckage of his past for years. A bear shifter haunted by a drunken car crash that claimed the lives of his brother, cousin, and stepsister-girlfriend, he’s learned to survive by disappearing—into the shadows, into the streets of Metro City, and into the arms of strangers. With a shattered body and scarred face, he’s convinced himself he’s unredeemable. He's a killer, and killers don't deserve happy endings. But when he escapes from the city with his two best friends and lands in the quiet town of Creekside, everything begins to change. There, he meets Shaun—a bold, unapologetically flamboyant cougar shifter who sees Carter's pain… and sees through it. Carter doesn’t know if he’s ready for love, or if he even deserves it. But Shaun isn’t the type to let fear win. As Carter confronts his past, heals old wounds, and reclaims parts of himself he thought were lost forever, he discovers that sometimes, the fiercest kind of love is the one that finds you when you’re broken. Raw, tender, and ultimately hopeful, Unredeemable is a shifter romance about redemption, the power of love, and the courage to heal and find peace.
