When a lonely vet tech unknowingly befriends a gorilla shifter over a mutual love of music, their lives will change forever.

Claire Beck is at a crossroads in her life when her ringtone song attracts the attention of the newest gorilla at the local zoo, a male who refuses to interact with either guests or the female gorillas he shares an exhibit space with.

Charlie is a withdrawn silverback captured running loose in a Denver park. A year at the zoo in Colorado Springs hasn't changed his outlook, so he's going to be transferred to an animal refuge with a questionable reputation. The zoo keeper in charge of his care has a plan to help Charlie escape-with Claire's help.

In the aftermath of the escape, Claire discovers that Charlie is more than what he seems. She must then decide if she will return to her old life alone or instead bond with a beast who is likely to leave her with a broken heart.All Rights Reserved

Left Forgotten by Haelimoarnv

"When the Past Reawakens, Love is the Only Magic That Can Save Them" Kai has spent years living with the regret of the one boy she never gave a chance to. Travis was her childhood friend-mysterious, magnetic, and full of promise-but she never recognized his importance. Now, as an independent woman, Kai has moved on... or so she thought. When Travis suddenly reappears in her life, everything she thought she knew about herself and the world starts to unravel. He's no longer the boy she once knew-there's a dangerous allure about him now, and an unexplainable pull that draws her closer. Strange things begin happening around Kai, and she can't shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong. With her best friend Sophie by her side, Kai tries to make sense of it all, but she's plagued by a growing fear. The more time she spends with Travis, the more distant she feels from everything she once knew. Her connection to him is undeniable, but the fear of being alone in a world she doesn't understand is overwhelming. What Kai doesn't know is that the boy standing before her isn't the same Travis she remembers from her past. There's something different about him, something he's hiding-a secret that could change everything. Travis is bound by a prophecy, one that could alter the course of their lives forever. In order to fulfill this destiny, he must make a choice that will tear apart everything they could have together. As their connection deepens, Kai remains unaware that the real danger doesn't lie in the shadows around them, but in the very person she's falling in love with. The truth could destroy them both, and Travis is trapped in a decision that could break them beyond repair. In this gripping tale of magic, love, and secrets, Kai must navigate a world of unknown dangers and a love that may be her undoing. But can she survive the truth when it's finally revealed? Or will the magic of the past destroy her future?

Forbidden Lineage by Recklis

(NON- TEEN)* Crimsons survive off essence. They're a proud breed who coexist with Spirit Sifters, Witches and Humans, until their beast escapes. When Sofia meets Kai for the first time she is left wondering exactly what he is, for although he shares a similarity with the Crimson race, he is clearly different. Kai...well, his blood is toxic, and not only to Supernaturals but to Humans also. Always controlled through submission, the Guardians have managed to keep him a secret for centuries, but there is so much more to the innocent beast than what meets the eye. Kai needs answers, and having been bred from the tainted, he has no idea as to what he's capable of. Out in the world for the very first time, unsupervised and enjoying the taste of freedom, he learns the true meaning of hope, love and friendship. But when is anything ever that simple? With the Guardians trying to reel him in, what happens when people start dying... Having a reputation of being the deadliest thing alive, who's going to side with him? Tension runs high when loyalties shift, and when his world comes crashing down around him, Kai realizes that his mate is the only one to help him control his destructive self when he turns Silver...
