Untethered — Charlene Hartnady

Shifter Novel Saturday night is shifter night… It's that one night of the week when the shifters head into Sweetwater to blow off a little steam. Sometimes, when they're lucky enough, it's to find a mate … a sweet, human mate … since shifter females are in such short supply. Winston wishes it was his turn to find a partner because he's done with all the screwing around. Done with all the meaningless one-night-stands. He might head into town when it's his turn, but he's staying far away from temptation. He'll wait until his name comes up on the mating list and then he'll settle down. His good intentions are blown to hell when he meets Ana, a timid female struggling with an event from her past. Who is this beautiful creature? This broken, sad shadow of herself. Winston promises to help her. Hell, they'll help each other. He might have vowed celibacy but he's not dead. Not by a long damn shot. This way, he can spend time with a beautiful female without any expectations and in return, he'll help her get over her fears. Problem is though, friends should not be this attracted to one another. They definitely shouldn't be this intrigued by each other. Keeping his hands off of Ana is becoming an impossibility. Will he be able to let her go when the time comes? Thing is, he's not so sure anymore. Mini-cliffhanger! No cheating with a guaranteed HEA. The Story Contains strong sexual themes/language and is not intended for readers under the age of 18.
