Bear of the Midnight Sun

Piper O'Malley, an up-and-coming young werewolf from downtown Chicago, wishes her pack leader would recognize her real value to the organization. She struggles to climb the corporate ladder of urban shifter society, clawing her way toward more responsibility and more important assignments while putting her personal relationships on hold. One day she'll find true love, she tells herself in between flight delays and full moons. Some days, she almost believes it.

By the time Piper hitches a late night ride into Yakutak, she's sporting nothing but her wits, her gear, and a hastily scrawled out contact: the name of a local bush pilot who's said to be sympathetic to shifter causes. A small, remote silver mining operation-owned and operated by her pack-has gone completely dark, and unraveling the mystery could be exactly the big break Piper needs. Although eager to prove herself, she won't get far without Maxim's help. Together, this unlikely pair of shifters will face subzero temperatures and supernatural horrors in the Land of the Midnight Sun. While struggling to survive the coming storms, they might even kindle a new flame - in each other's arms.

This full-length, standalone novel is the first tale set in Lucy Lachance's Second City Shifters universe. As you follow the blossoming of a steamy relationship between two breeds of shifters from two different worlds, expect urban fantasy flavor, no cliffhangers, and the HEA ending romance readers know and love.
