Night Critters — Lena Austin

Must Love Dogs: By the mid 21st century, the human population has been decimated, but some still scream over racial purity -- and not just among humans. Not only is Roni not a pure werewolf, she's a crossbreed Chuskie -- offspring of a Siberian Husky and a Chihuahua. Corbin is Alpha and heir to Thornburn pack, the richest pack in three states. Who cares if he dates a were-dog? Their parents…

Faux Paws: Lucky Thornburn, a Faux Paws, a shifter-born who can't shift, meets a fiery Goth half-angel named Charm who's trouble on the wing. She wants to renovate her mother's old house into a home for foster children, but Lucky's cold-hearted brother JR wants the property for a shopping mall. Charm's not going to give up, and Lucky's coming right along with her…

Paws to Heal: Two were-dogs welcome the return of their former lover after being enemy packs for so long. Duke, Katriena, and Eduardo must pause to heal the breach and bring the were-canines and lupines together.

Bad Fur Day: Staci Thornburn is determined to get an interview with the new Chinese UNESCO Ambassador, but Jiao Long, a Foo Dog-Dragon cross, is more than a little irritated. It's a good thing dragons are fireproof, because things are about to get hot!

Santa Paws: JR Thornton seeks redemption by dressing up in a Santa suit to deliver gifts to an orphanage, but the angry wood fairy guarding the house is more interested in blowing his head off. Phaedra's determined to give JR a piece of her mind. So why does she want so badly to sit in Santa's lap?
