Pryde Ranch Shifters (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997506372)

Tucked away in a state-of-the-art facility is a labyrinth where science and secrets go hand in hand. Nothing is more important than family, and nothing is more thrilling than the hunt. Join the pride in the chase! Oh, and bring snacks. All this badassery takes a lot of energy!

Jason DiCaplis has an easy assignment--go undercover to Pryde Ranch and find out who is trying to set up that family as buffalo poachers. Posing as a nerd who specializes as a surveillance and security expert? Easy peezy. Keeping your inner-lion in check once it scents its mate? Not so much.

Niah Pryde is no shrinking violet. Not only is she one of the best hunters for S.W.A.T.-the Shifter and Were Armed Tactics agency-but Niah can also network a microwave tower to a satellite surveillance system with her eyes closed, and one well-manicured hand tied behind her back. So...why would she rather hide in the network hub closet than face her mate?

Scientist Koreas Pryde has a dilemma--she can't figure out what causes mating heat. As a lion-shifter, she's had her fair share of run-ins with the dreaded heat, but her battery-operated boyfriend has always come to the rescue. The last thing she expects is for a human male to enter her life, turn it upside down, and render her "toys" obsolete.

Derria, like her cousins at Pryde Ranch, is trained to take down the worst shifters imaginable. After chasing her bounty into the Nantahala forest, she discovers that this Smoky Mountain gem is shifter central where they've managed to keep themselves off the world's radar...even to their own kind.

Kotara Pryde is an accomplished scientist and doctor in the field of feline biogenetics. But she's also a kick-ass bounty hunter, along with her sisters and brothers-in-law, for the Shifter and Were Armed Tactics agency, S.W.A.T. She loves her life and her freedom, but being the last Pryde to take a mate has its downsides...like utter loneliness during the most charitable time of the year. So, what better way to battle the holiday blues than to go on a little hunting mission in the mountains, right?
