Shifter's Haven: Vol 3 — Lavinia Lewis

Nate's Deputy Werewolf Nate Stanford is riddled with guilt over his brother Rick's death...so much so that when he meets his mate -- Deputy Sheriff Jared Ambrose -- he rejects him, believing he is not good enough for Jared and not worthy of being loved. The only thing that matters to him is buying his childhood home in honour of his brother's memory. Since their father died, Jared Ambrose has taken on responsibility for his younger brother, whose drinking binges are constantly getting him into trouble. Jared's only hope of saving his brother is finding them a place they can call home. Jared wants to make Sheriff, but believes he'll never be elected if the residents of his new town find out he is gay. When he realises Nate is his mate, he knows it's not possible for them to be together. But trouble in their small town and unrest in the supernatural council force them together and make them question their decisions. Can these two stubborn men conquer their demons and overcome all obstacles to carve out a life together? Gregory's Rebellion When supernatural council member Gregory is sent to Las Vegas to pick up a stray jaguar shifter, he thinks it will be an easy job. But upon his arrival, Gregory discovers that his quarry is his destined mate - a mate that doesn't recognise their bond. Hayden has an angry looking scar running the length of his left cheek, but he won't tell Gregory how he got it or why he hasn't shifted into his cat form for the last two years. Something bad must have happened to him, but can Gregory convince his wary mate to confide in him? To make matters worse, many council members' mates have been murdered in recent months so Gregory is afraid to tell his employers that Hayden is his mate. Instead, he lies to the council - risking his job and his life - and takes Hayden to Texas where he'll be able to protect him. But is Hayden as safe on the Crazy Horse ranch as he imagined?
