Earth, 2486. Global warming, followed by thermonuclear winter, leaves Earth a far different planet from the one we know. New races rule the Northlands. Old races, too, have returned. In a land ruled by politics, Lady Ayailla’s word is law. When Thallin defies her law, she has the perfect weapon at her disposal. She holds a marker -- to the Mercenaries Guild.

Jarla. A woman with no clan, no past, no loyalties to anyone -- except the Mercenaries Guild. Edgy, restless, the life suits her well. She can be whoever the guild needs her to be. Warrior. Thief. Spy. Today, she’s a bounty hunter.

Thallin. A man haunted by his past and a grief he cannot outrun. Still, he cannot change who he is. He’ll sacrifice himself to save the lives of his men, even if it means placing his fate in the hands of a bounty hunter. But Jarla’s hands are interested in more than his fate. Will her touch heal his shattered soul?

Best Erotic Fantasy
"A remarkable story about honor, duty, trust, and erotic passion. Shelby Morgen has definitely done a wonderful job creating a story worth reading a couple of times."
-- Jessica, Fallen Angel Reviews

"Too Hot to Handle starts out with a wonderful look at Jarla's character, and continues to build upon her desires with every masterful turn of phrase. I was fascinated with Thallin's heroic qualities. His loyalty to his men, his need to do what's right and his devotion to Jarla as the story develops is endearing and heartwarming. The passion between Thallin and Jarla sizzles with an almost primal sensual connection, and each sexy encounter builds upon the last, culminating in a believable emotional connection. If warriors, battles and a hint of political intrigue interest you, this story is a must read."
-- Belle Dessler, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

"An Alpha hero to die for...or better yet to stay alive and enjoy. Don't miss Too Hot To Handle. "
-- Ann Jacobs

"Grab some asbestos gloves, hit the ice house and get lost in a world only Shelby Morgen could create!"
-- Dakota Cassidy

"When Shelby Morgen titled this story Too Hot to Handle, she wasn’t exaggerating—darkly erotic, this is a sensual yet romantic tale of two lost souls who discover love and passion in a most unusual setting. Very highly recommended!"
-- Kate Douglas

Time to take down the fanatical Human Defense League. The Ulfhednar Council’s got just the men for the job. But the last thing Jake Parker wants is a partner. Especially not another Alpha wolf -- and definitely not the man who stole his woman.

Heather Grant’s got far too much experience working with stubborn males. She figures it would serve both Alphas right if their pride blows their cover. But someone’s got to salvage the mission. What she doesn’t count on is her instant reaction to Jake Parker’s wolf. Just the scent of this particular Alpha’s got her hormones racing.

How’s a man supposed to concentrate with an utterly sexy Dire Wolf bitch flashing her tail at him? If he gets out of this mission alive, Jake swears he’s going to kill the woman. Or claim her.

Brief Excerpt -- proofed, but unedited, I might add!

Chapter One

“Jackpot.”

“No shit.” At least two dozen more M16s, equipped with four rail hand guards, scopes, and collapsible stocks, as well as a couple M50 machine guns, and stack after stack of tactical readiness packs full of thirty round mags. Fuck. There was enough ammo in this room alone to take out Denver.

Not to mention the case cleaner, loading press, and crimper. The air reeked of silver. If he’d ever had any doubt --

“What the hell are you two doing?”

Jake resisted the urge to spin on his heel and land an elbow in the chest of the person who’d managed to sneak up behind him -- but only because the whispered voice belonged to a woman. No matter how deep undercover he was, he didn’t hit women.

He might shoot her, but there was no way he was going to hit her.

A glance over his shoulder almost made him regret that decision. Heather Grant. Of all the gin joints… “What the hell are you doing here?”

“My job. Which is to get your sorry ass out of the cluster fuck you two have got yourself into.”

John Wolfe treated Heather to a throaty growl of disapproval. “We’re doing fine, thanks. Who’s this?” He addressed the question to Jake, though he didn’t take his attention off the woman.

Jake sighed. “My wife.”

“Your what?”

Jake took a small bit of satisfaction in the bigger man’s obvious surprise. “I told you I wasn’t after Doc Grier.” Which was the truth. Mostly.

When the council had decided Wolfe needed backup on this mission, they’d neglected to ask. Though that was nothing new. The council never really asked anyone. They just issued orders. So here Jake was, trying to run an undercover op, sandwiched between the big, rangy wolf who thought Jake was after his woman, and Heather, the hard headed handler who’d played the role of his wife for the last five years.

Really. Could life get any better?

As soon as she sees her newest patient, veterinarian Suzanne Grier knows he's no normal wolf. Zan and her colleagues at Alaska's Wolf Sanctuary have always believed the Dire Wolves exist -- and they believe just as strongly in keeping their existence a secret. Zan's never fought so hard to save a wolf -- or a man. The doctor can treat the wounded body, but only the woman can heal his wounded heart.

It's been years since John's felt the touch of a woman's hand. Zan gives him a reason to want to live as a man again. But wolves mate for life. Before he can make that kind of promise, he's got unfinished business to take care of. A wolf defends what's his.

Wolf's got a silver bullet to return to its owner.
