About this book

This delicious two-novella collection serves up steamy paranormal romance with wildly entertaining protagonists—think feline shifters, unexpected reunions, and the kind of banter that'll have you laughing out loud. In the first story, a tough NYPD cop reconnects with her childhood friend who happens to be a lion shifter with dangerously gold eyes and zero chill, leading to chaotic chemistry that neither of them can resist. The second novella swaps the energy slightly with a charming hotel owner shifter who's immediately captivated by a sharp, boots-wearing woman from the South who's ready to reinvent herself. Laurenston balances heat with genuine humor and heart, making these novellas the perfect cozy read for paranormal romance fans who want their characters witty, their attraction electric, and their love stories wildly entertaining.
