LICENSE TO SHIFT by Kathy Lyons
The second book in a wild shifter series from USA TODAY bestselling author Kathy Lyons.
Bear meets girl…
Julie Simon returns to Saginaw, Michigan, to find her ailing father’s missing research on local shapeshifter lore. Unlucky for her, the only person who can help her is the darkly sexy Mark Robertson, the guy who spent an entire summer giving her the cold shoulder—and one white-hot night of pleasure…
Mark is a hair’s breadth away from going feral. Soon, his grizzly side will destroy everything that makes him a man. And after years of fighting, Mark is ready to give in to the beast. Then Julie—the gorgeous, curvy book nerd who awakened his most primal desires as a young man—shows up at his door. Now, he’s fighting an insatiable longing to claim her as his mate. But Julie isn’t the only one after her father’s research. Someone—or something—evil is tracking Julie’s every move…

Book Except:
EXCERPT 1 – Julie Simon has
stopped by Mark’s home because she believes he’s got her father’s journals.
He’s sound asleep when she hangs on the doorbell and he answers the door before
fully waking. Turns out, he forgot to put on clothes. (Grizzy bear shifters are
pretty casual about nudity, especially in the privacy of their own homes)
Chapter
2
OMG!
OMG! OMG! OMG!
Julie Simon was not a prude. She
enjoyed a finely honed male body as much as any woman. But when said finely
honed man answered his door stark naked and proceeded to look at her like she
was the answer to his prayers, well, then, her libido kicked into overdrive.
Especially when that look turned into hunger and his already thick cock
stiffened into a staff that aimed unerringly at her.
She was not a prude, but hell, this
was sexually at its most raw. And she apparently liked raw.
Who knew? All her boyfriends up to
now had been friendly, flaky men who spoke in full sentences and never, ever
growled. And yet one hairy, horny grunt from this guy and her nipples tightened
while everything else went liquid.
Not a prude, then. Apparently, she
fell more into the slut category because if he made a move on her right then,
she wasn’t exactly sure what she’d do to stop him. First of all, he looked like
he could overpower her in a heartbeat. Second, the moment he’d offered her his
mocha latte, her knees had gone weak and her lust spiked. When the hell had she
developed a caveman fetish?
Insane!
But she wasn’t a beast to be ruled
by her hormones. And she certainly wasn’t going to jump a near stranger, no
matter how ripped his abs or how much he stared at her. Good lord, she’d never
been the center of such focused attention. Need rippled off those sculpted
pecs, it vibrated in the air between his broad shoulders and her tight breasts,
and it seemed like he wanted her so badly it was hard for him to form words.
But how was that possible? All he’d done was answer the door…naked.
She took a breath, startled—but not
surprised—to find it thick with musk. His? Hers? Who knew?
Get
a grip!
She momentarily flashed on what she
could grip and struggled to restrain a near-hysterical laugh. She was not a
woman who thought things like that. Not in the usual course of the day. So she
closed her eyes and lifted her mocha to her lips. Damn, he made a great cup of
coffee. The honey added just the right amount of sweet.
Focus on the essentials: caffeine
and sugar.
That’s when he spoke. Two words:
“no” and “leave.” Well, that was par for the course from the men in her life.
They’d act one way, then say the opposite. Get her revved, then disappear. Give
her a mocha and then order her to leave. All he needed to do now was invite her
to move in then break up with her and he’d be just like her ex.
But unlike what she’d done with her
ex, she refused to leave. Her father needed his help, and so she would be
stubborn. At least until she got a fuller explanation from him. One that
included two-syllable words.
“So,” she ventured when the silence
stretched too long between them, “do you remember me?”
