Book excerpt: Clint [Siren Publishing: The Lynn Hagen ManLove Collection: Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, shape-shifters, M/M, HEA] The Rising men are pure myth, or so Dane thinks. Everyone in the town of Grizzly Ridge whispers about how either the Rising men can control the wild bears that roam the mountains, or that they are the wild bears themselves. On his way home from work one night, a stranger nearly hits Dane on the backroad. When the guy gets out of his truck, Dane is kidnapped and taken high into the mountains. Clint grew up in the mountains, his bear clan hidden from humans. Out on an errand one night, Clint decides to take a shortcut and nearly runs a man over. Pissed at the guy's carelessness, he gets out and discovers the human is his mate. His bear takes over and Clint bites him, starting the process that will enable Dane to carry his child. But Clint's life is filled with dangers--and his father is the biggest danger of all. Bobby Ray [Siren Publishing: The Lynn Hagen ManLove Collection: Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, shape-shifters, M/M, HEA] With trouble at home, Noel decides to take off for the weekend. With nothing more than his backpack, Noel hikes up into the mountains and comes across two grizzly bears. But they are no ordinary grizzlies--the bears shift into gorgeous men. But Noel has eyes for only one of them and gives into his desires when Bobby Ray seduces him right there on the path. Noel is enchanted with Bobby Ray, until he realizes this isn't some fantasy and he's stepped into some strange world fraught with danger. Bobby Ray claims Noel on the spot and takes him home. But life on the mountain isn't easy, and keeping Noel safe proves challenging, especially when it's Noel's brother who tries to kill Bobby Ray. Worse yet, there's a nomad on the loose, and tension rises between the bears and wolves. But Bobby Ray is determined to prove to Noel that their love for one another can pull them through anything standing in their way. ** A Siren Erotic Romance
