Three Defiant Hearts — Lynn Stark

Red squirrel shifters Ronnie, Sid, and Marky found their mates, but refuse to complete the mating if their gargoyle mates continue to hunt the trophy hunters. Their defiance leads to their lives changing forever and in ways they could never have foreseen. When they issue their ultimatum to their mates Lorenzo and Michael, they are told they can leave the farm. Heartbroken, they leave, their pride preventing them from staying to try to repair the damage they had created, but make an amazing discovery instead. Michael and Lorenzo had not wanted their mates to leave. The three men, however, need to learn what is truly important in life and that some things are more important than the desires of individuals. The trophy hunters need to be stopped. Michael and Lorenzo are determined to do everything within their power to help put an end to the trophy hunters' vile practices, even sacrificing love, happiness, and their chance to return to human form.
