Takeshiro "Shiro" Inoue is a star catcher in Puro Yakyū, the professional baseball league in Japan until injury forces him out. An old contact with the American Major Leagues has him returning to the States and to Lydia Holmes, one of the best pitchers he has ever faced and his best friend whom he'd met right before he'd started his career.  They have been close for eight years, the majority of which had been restricted to online interactions.  But now that they are on the same soil, his career isn't the only Shiro is interested in reclaiming.

Summary:

Being eighteen is hard enough, but when you factor in the shape shifting, howling at the moon, and a serious craving for rabbit and deer meat being eighteen is less than easy. Meet Edison, sister to three brothers, daughter of Josephine and Tobias Banks. Her and her family, who share the same animalistic habits, have just moved to Brookesville.

When several of the local residents go missing only to be found dead in the woods, Edison suspects it more than the everyday animal attacks. All clues point to the Taylors and their less than normal son, Aiden who is devastatingly attractive, but has secrets even his beyond strange family can't explain. But when one of Edison's friends goes missing along side Aiden's girlfriend, Edison teams up with Aiden in hopes of finding whatever is snacking on the locals of Brookesville.

Summary:

 Banner

Art Historian Aidan Bell and student Collista Carson can't stand each other. Yet for some reason, he asks her to be his new assistant.  Although doubtful that they can co-exist without killing each other, Collista has her grade in his class to think about and so accepts the position.  One thing leads to another, and before long, the two are finding it hard to maintain their professional distance.

Then the specter of Aidan's murky past casts its shadow over the forbidden relationship.  Add a priceless painting, a ruthless art collector and soon Collista finds herself in the position of having to help Aidan solve a mystery before he goes down for the count.  Will he have enough time to teach her what she needs to know about the art of the steal?
