Sometimes, the easiest choices are the hardest to live with
Dane Smith and Hunter Reed are lion shifters, who have
been battling the fact that they have a mating bond between them that shouldn't
exist. Meeting Xanthe White and recognizing her as theirs now makes it
impossible for them to ignore it any longer. At first she thinks that it's just
Dane and Hunter who are fated, but it soon becomes apparent that all three are
destined for each other.
Despite her past, Xanthe has made a home in Grey
River. Under the impression that they were helping her to reunite with her
sister, Dane and Hunter place Xanthe right in the path of the very danger she
was hiding from. Just as the three of them are finally on the same page,
someone from Xanthe’s childhood poses a threat.
Dane and Hunter know they must keep her safe, but by
the time they are able to pinpoint where the danger is coming from, it just
might be too late.
Hunter
leaned forward as he spoke and placed his hand on hers where it lay on the café
table. “We fell for you hard and fast, babe. One moment we were two hard-ass
Enforcers on the trail of another rogue shifter, and then we caught your scent and
everything in us screamed that you were ours.”
“And what
you said in your shop just before?” Dane added as he leaned in and swept her
long blond hair over her shoulder. “You were right about that too. Somehow the
Fates have gifted me with something extremely precious, and have given me two
incredible people as my mates.” He looked up and smiled at Hunter. When Hunter
returned it with nothing but joy and happiness in his eyes, Xanthe began to
think that perhaps there was a way for this to end well. “Hunter and I bonded
almost fifteen years ago, but because of reactions we received at the time that
we would rather not go into right now, we decided to ignore it.”
“When we
met you, it was like the final piece of our future fell into place,” Hunter said
quietly but the look in his eyes was intense. “Dane and I are mates, but you
are ours and we are yours just as much. I truly believe that if Dane and I had
acted on our bond when it first snapped into place, it would have been
difficult for the three of us to come together as a true Fated triad like we
can now. Does that make sense?”
Xanthe
thought about that for a moment. “Yeah, it does,” she said with a nod. “I’m not
sure how I would have felt if the two of you were already bonded, mated, and
claimed in all aspects before we met. I think I would have always felt like I
was the fifth wheel and wouldn’t have known my place in your relationship.”
Hunter
grimaced. “As much as it pains me to think that you could ever have any doubts
about your place with me and Dane, I can understand that. But, Xanthe, my
darling, you are not a fifth wheel. If anything, you are the integral piece
that will hold us all together. Without you, Dane and I would never have been
able to admit what we are to each other.”
“Which
leads us nicely into where your place is in this burgeoning relationship of
ours.” Dane’s voice dropped low and Xanthe’s heart rate sped up as her arousal
began to spike. “Your place is between me and Hunter. Pressed between us where
we can keep you safe and be everything you want and need. Your role will be to
love us and let us love you the way the Fates have determined it should be.”
Dane grinned wickedly and shot Hunter a look. “And to help me put up with
Hunter, who can act all dominant and shit and be really hard to handle when he
wants to be.”
Xanthe
giggled when Hunter narrowed a glare in Dane’s direction. “Firstly, I don’t act dominant. It’s who I am. And I know
you love it, Dane Smith, so don’t try to pull that shit on me. Secondly”—Hunter
turned in her direction and the possessive heat in his gaze had her pussy clenching
convulsively—“I’ll make it so that you love it too, when I get all alpha on you
and my gift for each small act of submission from either of you will be
pleasure.”
Xanthe’s
mouth dried up as she thought about what Hunter was saying. From what she was
hearing, if she was to submit to Hunter, he would gift her with pleasure.
Pleasure led to orgasms. Submission equaled orgasms. Done!
“And thirdly—” Hunter shook
his head and grinned wryly as he looked between her and Dane. “Between the two
of you, I think you will be able to handle me just fine.”

Maia Dylan lives, loves
and works in beautiful New Zealand. She
married her best friend and they have two adorable, but stubborn children who
obviously take after their father.
Maia’s career has
featured a lot of travel, and she has filled her time at airports and in the
air with books, books and more books.
Her love of erotic paranormal romance has seen her amass a huge
library. She has been an avid reader and
lover of ménage romances since she read her first book in this genre about
three years ago.
In January of this
year, Maia submitted her first ever manuscript to Siren Publishing. She wasn’t at all confident that it would be
accepted and in fact she was expecting a nicely worded email with a resounding
no! Much to her surprise less than two
weeks later she had an acceptance and a signed contract in hand. Since then she hasn’t looked back and
currently has three books in her Grey
River series set for publication.
Outside of writing,
Maia loves to eat, so she loves to cook!
Her herb garden is legendary, but she still has issues getting tomatoes
to grow. She’s been a performer for
years, and has even sung on international stages, she would love to own a
classic Ford Mustang one day and of course have the opportunity to race it on a
race track without fear of a speeding ticket.
Although ultimately her
dream is to be able to write full time on a sandy beach with a Mai Tai at hand,
she is quite happy to fit her writing in when she can. As long as someone reads her books, gets a
laugh and maybe come to love her characters and much as she does, then she
feels that she is living her dreams no matter what!
