Dexter is a delivery guy with hidden Daddy tendencies. Always the fun uncle, helpful neighbor, and all-around boy scout. During the months of November and December, he wears a Santa hat and leaves candy canes with packages to spread cheer, but he doesn’t celebrate the holidays himself. Its just no fun to decorate when you’re all alone.

Avery loves his gift shop downtown and all the tourists who come in and admire his sexy stained glass creations and souvenirs. Unfortunately, the tourists are shopping online more and more and using his store for window shopping rather than cash dropping. But that doesnt stop him from creating the kinky crafts he enjoys so much. And when that hot delivery guy stops by with supplies, he gets a little too excited sometimes. Hes almost grateful that the specialty Little items he can’t get in his small town require frequent deliveries from the Daddy Santa.

The magic of Christmas will sparkle when you least expect it.

Human omega Riley has been on the streets since losing his job last Halloween. He was just getting by with overtime and extra shifts as it was, so when he was handed his final paycheck and showed the door, he knew nothing would ever be the same. He was right. Sleeping in his car isnt how he expected to spend the holidays. But the holidays dont mean much to guys like Riley. Theyre all just days to survive.

Alpha bear Blake has heard one Christmas song too many. Hes not in the mood for jingle bells or frosted cookies, but the non-profit he volunteers at still needs his help, regardless of his mood. So when he comes across a human almost frozen in the back of a beat-up car, he knows what he has to do.

Save the omega. Save his mate.

Simon moved to Hermanton last summer to take his dream job as a park ranger. He loves building miniatures, but its not exactly conducive to getting a second date. When most guys hear that he builds model trains and paints tiny dioramas for entertainment, that tends to land him right in a ghosted inbox. And since turning forty, he’s had enough salt and pepper in his beard to shove a pillow up his shirt and play Santa in the off season. In fact, his buddies at The Lactin Brotherhood talk him into doing just that.

If only Santa could get a little package under the tree for himself.

Cal just moved to Hermanton to be the local nursing home’s activities director. He’d been doing the job remotely for some time already, but the low cost of living and meeting people face to face seemed like a great change of pace. Coupled with the fact that his boyfriend dumped him a while ago, it was an easy decision. And as a way to meet people, he decides to volunteer as an elf for the hottest Santa he’s ever seen.

Too bad he’s too old to sit on Santa’s lap and make a wish.

Not every elf is destined to leave the workshop. But when Evan finally does, he realizes hes never going back.

Evan loves working in Santas workshop. Its an honor and a privilege to create the toys that bring so much joy to children around the globe. But as a workshop elf, he doesnt get out much. And that means hell probably never find a mate.

Alpha wolf Holden moved to Joyville because the tiny mountain town provides him and his wolf all the peace and privacy they need. It can be lonely at times, but hes content only having to head into town as needed for supplies.

When Evan hears about a town called Joyville that doesnt have an elf assigned to monitor it, he makes a quick change to the travel roster and sneaks out for the trip of a lifetime. But it takes more than determination and faith to follow the pull in his gut that tells him hes meant to be there.

Three alphas were on the run, the only survivors of their pack and out in the world alone. Just trying to stay together and alive.

Never staying in one place for more than a few days at a time.

And definitely not looking for an omega to tag along.

But when a small wolf escapes a forced betrothal, he finds himself right in the middle of an even tenser environment.

Not because he wasn't interested in the three alphas individually but because he didn't know it was possible for them to all build a family together.

Ex-bodybuilder Cayson enjoys running his family's pizzeria and carrying on the legacy his great-grandfather started so many years ago. But it consumes his whole life. He opens and closes seven days a week, never taking a moment to himself, making it impossible to meet someone to share his life with.

Finn has been working long hours as a police sergeant, trying to stay busy after attending yet another wedding of yet another friend who has found love. It's not exactly healthy, but he likes the distraction of work to keep him from feeling the loneliness that has been getting heavier and heavier with each passing year of solitude.

Dylan has been relying on a glass of bourbon to get to sleep every night, so when he realizes he's out, he runs out to the store to pick up a bottle. And if he gives in to his Little side, he might leave the store with some frozen cookie dough and microwave popcorn to cap off his weekend pity party.

But when an amateur thief walks into that store and tries to rob it and the three customers inside, all their lives are changed forever.

Waylan, a lone alpha coyote, is afflicted with something shifters call The Quiet. Humans might call it depression, but with shifters, it mostly means he just wants peace and serenity. He grew up with the West Coast Coyotes under Esteban but when he was twenty, he needed to go off on his own to find space. Rather than allow him to go feral, Esteban asked him to run one of their small farms and grow pawflower, a restricted substance within shifter communities. That allowed him to exercise his alpha muscle while living mostly in solitude. Mostly content.

Joe has been walking and living off the land since his senior year of high school. Hes been on his own, just trying to survive. He travels light with nothing more than an old phone that only works when he gets a few dollars to put minutes on it, usually from cashing in cans or washing windows for businesses. When he stumbles upon a remote farm, he decides to make camp for the night and get some rest.

Little does he know the alpha of the farm is about to teach him what it truly means to need a pack.

Oliver is a rarity in the shifter world. A lone wolf omega. Leaving his pack isnt a decision he regrets, but it was for the best. Even so, there are times when he doubts whether he made the right call. Especially when he notices the same group of alphas showing up wherever he goes.

Theyre all gorgeous and his wolf is certainly interested, but his rational brain is sending up alarm bells.

Who are they? Why are they following him? And why cant he seem to keep his eyes off them?

In this spinoff series to the Alpha For Hire series, Lorelei M. Hart and Aria Grace combine worlds with their Rivers Edge shifter series.

Shifter For Hire is more than a side gig.

Human alpha Trig is in love. So completely in love that it hurts. Too bad the person he's in love with has no idea. He thinks of him as his “roommate,” which he is. But that doesn't stop him from wanting more.

Alpha wolf shifter Garin is bored with his job. Sitting at a desk all day makes buckets of money, sure. But where's the fun? When his roommate tells him about Alpha For Hire, he checks it out only to discover there is a sister company, Shifter For Hire, and they are actively seeking out bodyguards. He's never done it before, but it sounds like fun. How hard could it be?

I'm a freak of nature. I've known that my entire life and always keep it hidden. It's safer that way. It isn't until I become friends with my co-worker that I discover that I'm not the only one. There are others who can shift from one animal to another.

That's also when I learn Im nothing more than a lab experiment.

I'm left with more questions than answers and decide to do some experiments of my own, going so far as to “borrow” some equipment from work—equipment that turns out to be faulty. At least the repair guy, a human omega, is cute. Wait, that's bad. I'm not supposed to be getting up close and personal with him. I need to stay under the radar.

That would be so much easier if every beast inside me wasn't shouting that he was our mate.

Seven years ago, Brayden was too young to get the attention of his woodshop teacher. But he's all grown up now, and the sexy Daddy is exactly who he's been waiting for…

After an incident in a bar with my friends, I wasn't sure I would ever want to start dating again. Going out means potentially running into one of the men who tried to hurt me—or someone even worse. So I focus on my work at the shop, play by myself at home, and try to not to feel envious of the amazing relationship Max has with his new Daddy. It's a lonely life, but it's safer this way.

Ethan thinks he's seen a ghost when a boy from his past—a boy who is now very much a man—walks out of the auto shop he takes his most beloved possession to. He hasn't thought much about Brayden Baxter since the boy graduated seven years ago.

But now, that boy is all he can think about.

And when the nightly hang-ups start, Ethan has a pretty good idea who is responsible for them. He just needs the boy to make the first move, so he can finally pursue the heat that sparked between them long before it should have.

When Orsino, a ruthless enforcer for his familys powerful mafia, shakes down a desperate man over a debt to their casino, he expects the usual pleas and excuses. What he doesnt expect is the mans omega son, Ethan, to step forward with an unthinkable offer — himself as payment.

Ethan is an innocent omega. A virgin vet tech with dreams of opening his own pet shelter. He knows nothing of the dark world hes stepping into, but his determination to save his father leads him into Orsinos cold embrace.

To everyones surprise, including his own, Orsino accepts Ethans offer and takes him home, giving him a place in his own room. The hardened mafia man finds himself slowly drawn to Ethans pure heart and gentle nature, breaking down the walls he's built around his own. As their bond deepens, Orsinos icy exterior melts, and he begins to fall for the innocent omega who has turned his world upside down.

Knox was excited to join the organized crime unit of the FBI, but his new team was less than impressed by the hotshot omega taking a coveted position. So when the opportunity to ship him out to the tiny town of Gilded Lake, Montana came up, everyone recommended him for the job, knowing he probably wouldn't survive his first week in the field.

Mayor Luca Francesco owned not only the little town of Gilded Lake but most of the small towns across the northern mountain states. The Feds tried over and over again to shut him down, but there was never anything they could directly tie to the Francescos.

When Knox showed up pretending to be the new assistant to the mayor, it was clear he'd been sent to infiltrate the organization. But all he ends up infiltrating is the older mayor's heart. They both feel the pull to each other, but the only chance they have for happiness is to appease the Feds in a different way.
