Hard Bubbles

"You can't just randomly waltz into my life, stake a claim and tear down my walls all in one night."

"I can, and I will."

+ + + +
When a sexy as hell mershifter has the audacity to tell me that I'm the one he's been waiting to find, I put him in his deluded place. And then somehow put my lips on his. As a human moving into Shifter City, America's unofficial shifter capital, I expected to be taking corporate names and going home alone-not rushing out of a bar when Jaxon's back is turned. He wants to claim me. Breed me. Keep me safe. Says it'll happen tonight.

The scary part? His words thrill me.

The scarier part? Something else has scented me and wants me for his.

++ Tropes: fated mates, br3eeding, extra male equipment, fast burn, instalove, (attempted) abduction, found family, damsel in distress, (just touching on) different worlds, high achieving female lead, not what you seem, HEA
++ Note to the reader on content warning: Be prepared for some attempted ab-duck-tion, unaliving and presentation of a "trophy", as per the usual mershifter culture in my world when a mate has been wronged to that extent. This is not a dark romance but it does have some of darker elements.
