Fakari Island Shifters

Worth His Salt

Fakari Island Shifters Book 1

The Fakari Islands wolf pack has stayed safe by keeping the rest of the world out. But as trouble brews, the one thing they need may be the last person they’re expecting...

Maren has one last chance. Fresh off a string of short-lived careers, she arrives on the Fakaris with a mission: negotiate a deal with Saroan Salts, use it to secure a job back home, and finally live up to her mother’s expectations. But the salt company’s owner, Seb Greenleaf, isn’t interested in a business deal. And once he realizes who he’s dealing with—the daughter of the man who caused his father’s death—he’ll do anything to keep her as far from the islands as possible.

For the last three years, Seb has worked himself to the bone. Ever since the coming-of-age rite that disfigured his leg and nearly cost him his life, he’s been consumed by restoring the tradition that might have saved him. And this year, the stakes feel especially high: something is clearly affecting the magic of the islands.

When Maren works her way onto the Fakaris, the two find themselves in closer quarters than either of them want. But as she begins to uncover the islands’ secrets, they each realize that the person they’ve grown to hate may be the key to the thing they want most.

In Her Own Rite

Fakari Island Shifters Book 2

There’s only one way to become a Fakari pack elder—defeat your biggest fear at the top of the cliffs, or die trying.

Emerson hasn’t shifted in years—but with Kieran there to keep her safe, she doesn’t have to. For a decade they’ve been inseparable, sleeping next to each other every night as friends. Yes, friends; though with Emerson’s heat around the corner, ignoring her feelings for him is harder than ever. Still, Em wants to stay nearby until the night of Kieran’s rite. After all, this is the most dangerous event on the islands…

Kieran has loved Emerson since the day they met, and completing his rite is one step closer to sharing a life. As he enters the ring, Kieran expects a swift victory, but what he encounters instead shakes him to the core. Now, his biggest concern is keeping Em out of harm’s way. But as a string of attacks confirms Kieran’s worst fears, it may be his very need to protect her that drives them apart—or Emerson’s newfound strength that finally allows them to be together.
