A wildland firefighter -- and mountain lion shifter -- Edward is the

But when he meets the sweet, adorable Molly Sloan, a friend of his
new sister-in-law, Lilah... his determination to remain celibate
begins to unravel.
Something about Molly is irresistible. Something about her makes him
forget the past... and hear the Beat. But Edward will have to fight
for her -- forces are gathering to use her in ways that might
separate them forever.

It’s
the hottest club in town.
The price
of membership is your heart and your secrecy.
All you
need to do to join is to be loved beyond your wildest imagination by
someone powerful with an…alpha side so primal it’s in their
blood.
Are you
ready?
Good.
Then let’s begin.
The
Billionaire Shifters Club is a new series featuring the five Stanton
siblings, four brothers and one sister who are all part of an ancient
shifter family living in modern America. The subterranean
club-within-a-club beneath the streets of Boston, Massachusetts holds
secrets only the Stantons and their fellow shifters know.
Excerpt
The art exhibit for their brother’s paintings was quite lovely, but
Edward Stanton was beginning to deeply regret being a supportive
sibling. Leaving his home in Montana, where the air smelled like
freedom and people didn’t glare – because there were so few
actual people – and coming to this festering hellhole called Boston
gave him good reason to twitch.
His sister’s words made him groan inwardly, though. If he told her
the truth, she would belittle him. If he lied, she would smell it on
him.
Of course she would. She was a bear shifter, with a nose most
vintners would kill to possess. Sophia could smell emotions. She
could sniff out subterfuge and intrigue, sex and anger. He was
certain she could smell lottery ticket winners, if she tried.
Not that a billionaire heiress would need such a skill.
Edward steeled himself, wishing he could hide scent the way he had
trained himself to hide emotion. Even shifters had limits, sadly.
“I’m tired. The jet seats weren’t comfortable,” he lied. A
powerful hum from some sort of heating and cooling system kicked in,
making his back teeth rattle. How much longer must he stay to be
polite? The city was full of too many unexpected vibrations and
jolts, sounds like jeers and mockery. His head began to throb, a
steady beat taking over.
Sophia rolled her eyes and took a small pastry from a tray as a
server passed by, stuffing it in her mouth. “You are the worst liar
ever. Didn’t you learn a thing from Derry? You would never guess
you’re brothers.”
Half brothers, he thought. Of the five Stanton children, Edward was
the only one without a full sibling. He was also the only mountain
lion shifter. He needed to roam. Desired space.
Craved land.
Downtown Boston, at an art gallery packed into a gentrified district
where people lived in apartments the size of thumbnails, was the
absolute opposite of what he wanted right now.
But they were here to support Derry in his art, and by God, he would
fake his way through this.
Even if Derry just ditched them to reunite with his human mate, the
limo speeding them off to Derry’s loft, leaving his cheerleading
squad stuck in this gallery, eating overcooked rumaki and pretending
to enjoy the other exhibits.
“I know you hate the city,” Sophia said, her voice dropping into
a compassionate whisper. “But that was years ago, a random tragedy.
We can help you. It’s sweet of you to come here for Derry.”
Edward’s body went cold. He didn’t want to talk about the past.
And he certainly did not want to talk about the last time he was in
Boston.
“Super sweet!” Molly, his sister-in-law’s friend, approached
him and Sophia, her bright blue eyes overly friendly, cheeks flushed
with excitement or wine. Or both.
His body responded to her presence, skin heating up, muscles
expanding as blood pumped with a ferocious, almost-unfair speed
designed to make him ready for...
For something he’d given up a decade ago.
