Shifters
need dentists too! Come to the town of White Pine, where shifters live and fall
in love.
Peanut Butter and Jelly for Two—Meet

through the door of Paranormal Dentistry for the Fanged and Friendly but none
so gorgeous as his boss and wolf shifter, Dr. Gunner Samuels.
Stalking the Hygienist—Meet Serge,
a deer, and Beauregard, a lion. When Sergei saw Beauregard coming up to his
meat counter, he fell for the deer shifter. The problem is Beauregard is
running from him. Being the lion shifter he is, Sergei decides to go hunting.
Chipmunk Drizzled in Honey—introduces
Dallas, a bear, and Nikko, a chipmunk. Dallas is the owner of the donut shop,
Honey Cakes. He thought his life was perfect until Nikko the chipmunk sashayed
into it. Dallas doesn't know if he wants to push the spunky chipmunk away or
make love to him.
Fall for the whole chipmunk
family in A Paranormal Chipmunk Christmas.
Hot on a Chipmunk's Tail—introduces

protection of his twenty siblings, but takes a chance to leave Will behind when
he runs to White Pine. Unfortunately, some of his brothers are coming along for
the ride.
White Pine Chipmunk Invasion—features
Winslow, a chipmunk with a twin, and Teegan, a Nile croc. The twins are White
Pine's troublemakers, making a path of destruction wherever they go. Winslow
has been secretly meeting up with a certain Nile croc who has been hinting at
wanting more.
EXCERPT:
A
minute later, the bell chimed again, and the sounds of disgruntled protests
filled the waiting area as Dallas and Dr. Samuels walked in together. Dear
Lord, Gunner was a lethal combination of handsome and sex all rolled up into
one. Phillip blatantly stared. Hell, he couldn't help it. The man was packed
solid. Phillip had thought when he first started working there a couple months
ago that he would tame his desire for the man, but no such luck. Sheesh, he had
it bad if he was long-necking Gunner's fine body.
Gunner
walked like the wolf shifter he was, with a lethal grace that had the ability
to make everyone stop what they were doing and take notice. A smile that was so
perfect that Phillip was surprised the man wasn't starring in toothpaste
commercials. Hell, Phillip was going to need the drool bib.
Trying
to distract himself, Phillip glanced over to see Dallas take a seat without
checking in. The grumpy bear didn't look too pleased at coming in today.
Phillip grabbed the sign-in sheet and jotted Dallas's name down.
Dr.
Samuels came through the glass door separating the waiting room from the
patient rooms. He filled up the space, making Phillip feel even smaller than
his five foot eight inches. Phillip's hand shook as he put the sign-in sheet
back at the window.
Dr.
Samuels showed his pearly whites, smiling with full luscious lips that Phillip
had fantasized about since day one. "How are you this morning,
Phillip?" Dr. Samuels leaned on the check-out counter as Phillip handed
him his computer tablet that stored all the patient files and appointments for
the day. That was the first thing Phillip changed when he got here. The dentist
was not allowed to have a pile of paper covering his desk ever again.
And
just like always, Phillip got all tongue-tied, feeling like a complete idiot in
front of the good dentist. "Nuh." Dear Lord, that wasn't even a word.
Phillip wanted to crawl under his desk in embarrassment.
Beauregard
came walking down the hall and began to distract Gunner. Thank you, Beauregard! Could that have been any more awkward?
Phillip thought he better get his act together or the dentist was going to
question his ability to work here if he continually talked in incoherent babble
all the time.
Standing
up, Phillip ran to the back to grab a coffee in the break room, pouring the
usual four hazelnut creamers in it. Yeah, it was frowned upon to drink coffee
in the office but sometimes a chipmunk needed a pick-me-up to get through the
day.
Beauregard
stuck his head in. "What the hell was all that about?"
Phillip
groaned in misery. "You heard?"
"Um...yeah.
You know what you need to do? Just ask the wolf out. Hell, have him over for
dinner."
~
"I
can't cook, especially meat."
"Sure,
you can. You're an omnivore. Don't you eat everything? Just pop a roast in the
oven and voila!" Beauregard said loudly.
Dr.
Samuels walked in. "I love roast."
Beauregard
smirked at Phillip, an entire inner dialog being exchanged with their eyes.
Don't you dare. Phillip
glared.
Beauregard
raised a brow. Ooooh really? Is that a
challenge?
Paybacks are hell!
Beauregard
turned his back on Phillip.
Casually,
Beauregard spoke as if he wasn't throwing Phillip under the bus, "You
should come over to Phillip's for dinner tomorrow night. He's really good at
cooking and was going to make a roast for just his little lonesome."
Liar!
"Really?
I don't want to intrude." Gunner glanced over at Phillip.
Sweat
began to build on Phillip's brow as a million thoughts passed in a nanosecond.
From wanting to strangle Beauregard, to hugging him, to panic that this was his
one chance, all the way to the thought that he had no fucking clue how to cook.
"I'd
love to have you over," Phillip blurted out before he could take it back. I'm screwed!
ABOUT JACKIE:
Short, sexy and sweet—where a little love
goes a long way.
That’s
the best way to describe Jackie Nacht’s stories. I was introduced to M/M
Romance through my sister, Stephani, and read it for years. Then, I thought it
was time to put my own stories on paper. I began writing short and sweet
stories that ended with a happily ever after…and sometimes more than one, in
the case of my YA Fork in the Road series,
which has interactive endings.
Thinking
back to my own book addiction, where there were many nights I stayed up way too
late so I could read just one more chapter—yeah,
right—I decided to write short romances for young adults as well as adults.
Hopefully, they will give high school and college students, or working men and
women something they can read during their lunch hour, in between classes or
just when they want to briefly get away from the daily stresses of everyday
life.
