Downloading Pick Your Poison (Smoke & Mirrors Tavern - Book 1)

Royce: I might be known as the grump that runs the local shifter bar to most, but after being forced to flee the hometown that turned on us in order to protect my nephew, that’s how I prefer it. Becoming a single father overnight required all of my focus anyway, but now that my nephew is older and finding his own way, I don’t know how to be anything else. Not sure I want to. The only problem is, the glares and growls that have kept everyone else away for years don’t seem to affect the beautiful crow I can’t keep my eyes off of at all. And when I find out the flirty bird is in trouble, my bear’s protective streak won’t let me ignore the instincts telling me the crow is mine. Even if I’m not quite ready to admit it. I’m not sure we’ll survive the road trip I’ve somehow volunteered myself for, but whether opposites prove to clash or attract, it’ll be a hell of a ride. Damien: It might look like I have my life together, but behind the flirting and charm, it’s all just a carefully crafted tower of dominoes, one teetering piece away from crashing down around me. After a painful betrayal forced me to start over with nothing, I’m finally building something I’m proud of, relationships I can see growing, work that matters. So when the dark past I thought I’d escaped isn’t as gone as I thought, fleeing is no longer an option. I’m going to have to face the things I ran away from before the people I care about end up paying the price. Goddess knows, I’ve got enough on my plate trying to keep the past from repeating itself, but I can’t manage to shake my obsession with the sexy bear that makes me feel safe while everything is falling apart. Royce is a walking fantasy and I can’t help but want to ruffle the growly man’s feathers… er, fur, but how do I move on from a past that won’t stay in the past, especially when it’s my own instincts I can’t trust?
