    About this ebook

    What will happen when two shifters fight - over a love that has been ordained, and one that is forbidden? 

    Jace moved in with Fiona and her father when she was fourteen. Tall, lean, and hotter every day, he caught Fiona's eye on day one, and she has had a crush ever since. The problem is, Jace has never looked at her as anything but a friend. 

    On Fiona's sixteenth birthday, her dad announces she is going to mate a shifter she has never met when she turns twenty-one. Zane, though cute and muscled, is arrogant, older, and not at all her type.

    One night, Jace finally sees Fi for the woman she has become. In a moment of weakness, he succumbs to her request for "just one kiss." A mate's addictive taste is something neither Jace nore Fiona deny.

    Caught by a secret past, Jace believes he will never deserve a woman like Fi. However, Fi harbors a deep dark secret of her own, a secret that may change all of their lives.

    Pepper Valley: A town where shifters, vampires and other creatures are a part of society.

    They are caught 

    ...and Shifted For Love.

      Shifted For Love - C.A. Tibbitts

      Prologue

      (Present Day)

      ––––––––

      How the hell had he gotten himself into this mess? Jace had shifted into a brown bear, his typical shift, to fight a Mexican drug cartel full of werewolves.  The buy had gone south as soon as a werewolf known as Big Loco had caught his true scent—a scent he’d been so careful to mask, but apparently not careful enough, given the current situation.

      Jace was backed into a corner of the rickety shack the cartel used to make cocaine.  Besides worrying about the shack falling down on his head, he was also concerned that some of the product was floating in the air and he’d breathe it in, screwing with his ability to think clearly.

      Big Loco came closer, growling and snarling to the point that drool dripped off his sharp fangs.  Four other werewolves had joined in on the fun, blocking Jace’s escape.

      As he had done so many times in the past two years, Jace prayed, trying to beg his way out of the situation.  If he hadn’t run off from the love of his life, his mate, and joined the shifter division of the D.E.A., he wouldn’t be in this mess.  Once again, he promised that this would be his last mission and he would return home to Pepper Valley, Colorado, and somehow try to make things up to Fiona.

      Fiona.  The red-haired, freckled, pale-as-porcelain-skinned little spitfire who typically shifted into a panther.  As it did every time he thought about her, his left shoulder throbbed where she had marked him.

      The door was suddenly kicked in just a few feet from him, and he blinked, his thoughts momentarily forgotten.

      Forrest leapt inside and had shifted into a mountain lion by the time he landed on his paws.  He pounced on the werewolf nearest him, sharp teeth ripping and deadly claws slashing.

      With this help, the situation looked a lot more promising.  Jace swiped his large right claw at Big Loco, ignoring the snap of a second werewolf to his hind leg.  He kicked that leg out, and the werewolf went sailing out the open door with a yelp and a thud.  Big Loco now began to circle him, along with another werewolf.  Jace stood up on his hind legs, and came down on the second werewolf with his claws extended.  The werewolf let out a garbled cry.  In the werewolf’s place now lay a dead man, his body resting in two distinct pieces, with blood and entrails scattered across the floor.  Big Loco took this opportunity to snap his teeth into Jace’s left flank, and the werewolf’s head was now shaking violently from side to side, trying to rip off the large chunk of flesh.  Jace growled in pain, trying to kick at Big Loco with his hind leg, to no avail.

      Forrest finished with another werewolf, then leapt across the room and dug his sharp claws into Big Loco and ripped.  Fur and flesh came off in bloody ribbons to curl behind Big Loco’s hind legs.

      Big Loco let out a cry of pain and his jaws opened, releasing Jace.  Jace turned and used his large left paw to swipe at him, and the cartel leader’s right eye wound up dangling from his furry face.  Forrest slashed at the werewolf’s exposed underbelly and Big Loco shifted back to human immediately, dead in a torn-up heap.

      Forrest sniffed the air, making sure the threat was over before shifting back to his human form.  He panted as the expelled energy from the fight and subsequent shifting left him physically drained.

      Jace soon shifted back to his own human form, his hand gingerly holding his bitten asscheek.  Ow! he exclaimed, wondering if he would need stitches.  How embarrassing.

      Men in hazmat suits began filing in to process the drug lab.

      If you two are done playing wild animals, we have a plane to catch, the human team leader grumbled from the doorway.  And go find some clothes.

      Jace and Forrest shared a look before bursting into exhausted laughter.

      Chapter One

      (Ten years earlier)

      ––––––––

      Jace sat up and looked around the room in confusion.  The last thing he could remember, he was being shot at by some hunters halfway up Jericho Summit.  He had curled up between two bushes as the snow began to fall.  With every billowing breath, he just knew the hunters would find him in his bear form and shoot him.  Normally, when he was emotional, he shifted without wanting to, but this time he’d been unable to change back to his human form.  He did not know if they thought he was a shifter or a real bear, but they had hunted him nonetheless.

      He was only sixteen, way too young to die.  His abusive stepfather would probably have found this hilarious, and that’s why he had packed a bag and left Santa Fe behind and headed north to Colorado.  It had been Colorado or Oregon, and he’d chosen with the toss of a coin.

      He first noticed the bulky sweat pants and t-shirt he had on, definitely not his own.  He then looked at the roaring fire in the stone-lined fireplace.  It was very warm, but he was old enough that he could adjust his own body temperature to keep himself comfortable.  The walls were large logs, and one side of the room had floor-to-ceiling windows; he had to wonder if it was that big log cabin on the south side of Jericho Summit.

      You’re awake!

      He watched a pretty redhead, probably a few years younger than himself, walking into the room carrying a tray with a
