JERICHO JUNCTION: New Release!
A cat, a demon, and a bear. Oh my.
Jericho Dark Walker is a Bear, a creature born to assume the form of man or animal. He’s second in command to the mixed group of shifters living in the Great Forest. For years it’s been his dream to see his clan reintroduced to the land of their ancestors. But now that he’s back he finds himself restless, unable to find joy in even the simplest back scratch or hive of honey. The female shifters offer little challenge to the Great Clan’s beta, and with everyone getting along, there’s nothing more strenuous to do than break up the rare fight.
When an opportunity arrives to represent the clan to oust an evil plaguing the outer edge of the Great Forest, he gratefully volunteers to work with the athmae-demons. The alpha’s brother has mated with an incubus, so Jericho thinks he knows what to expect. But athmae assigned to work with him is a male demon as large as Jericho, and just as deadly. No sex demon, but a hunter with the instincts of a true predator. So why is Jericho so taken with the male when he has only ever felt desire for a female?
And why, when they rescue an annoying, sexy cat shifter from certain death, do his instincts scream to claim both the feline and the demon as his own? Bears don’t mate outside their species, yet everything inside Jericho pushes him to do just that.
A cat, a demon, and a bear. Oh my.

Excerpt
Seino woke to the sight of Jericho glaring down at him.
“I want to know exactly what you did to me yesterday.” At Seino’s sly grin, the bear amended through gritted teeth, “Aside from the sex. I feel connected to you.” Jericho rubbed his chest. “This thing hums against my breastbone. I can’t take it off. I can’t shift if I can’t take this off. It’ll strangle me,” he practically growled.
Understanding his concern, Seino sat up and stretched. “Shift.”
“You want to kill me?” Jericho sat on his haunches, a surprised look on his face.
“I want to take you again. And again. But first you need to see you’re not a prisoner.”
Jericho narrowed his eyes and stood. Slowly, a blur of light spread out from his chest to encompass his body. In seconds, a huge, brown grizzly bear stood in his place, the amulet no longer visible, but absorbed into his animal energy. The bear reared up on two legs, snarled at Seino, then dropped to all four feet and shoved his muzzle in Seino’s chest. Jericho knocked him back on his ass.
“Oomph. Bastard.” Seino tensed when the bear clamped powerful jaws around his neck. A slight squeeze and Jericho would crush Seino’s larynx. The dangerous position had the odd effect of ramping Seino’s libido. He’d wanted Jericho before, but knowing how lethal his lover could be aroused a part of him he’d never known existed. Finding a partner who wasn’t afraid or in awe of his status as Protector of the Seventh Kingdom was near impossible. Seino had never been drawn to sexual partners outside of his own kind, so to be so drawn to Jericho told him something. Then to find the bear so sexy, so desirable… It was obvious he had some Kin in him.
Amused at the naughty part of that thought—because not long ago, Jericho had indeed had some Kin in him—he smiled.
The bear over him grunted and moved back. Then he settled that massive bulk over Seino.
Seino huffed out a breath. “Jericho, don’t—”
But before Seino could finish his protest, Jericho shifted back into a man’s form and kissed him.
