Paws, Claws, & Jaws – Welcome to Yukon Bluff, home of the Shifted Misfits MC.

After years spent on the run and living on the outside looking in, a group of shifters form a motorcycle club where the men become a blended family of sorts. Determined to find their place and form a home, they start up several businesses to help their somewhat impoverished community. Their only desire? To finally fit in somewhere. Finding their mates will be a wild, unexpected ride!

Ariel
My life is pain-filled and not my own. I’m controlled with an iron fist. This wasn’t how things were supposed to be, and it breaks my heart that Perry pulled the wool over my mother’s eyes so well that she died thinking her girl was safe, secure, and loved. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
One night of violence, and Chomp came into my life. Everything I thought I knew about the world shifted on its axis, and I was introduced to the paranormal. He saved me from the horrors I was enduring and then completely turned my world upside down when he told me I was his mate.
I’m not good enough.
I’m unworthy of a man like him.
I just can’t seem to convince him otherwise.
Slowly, he breaks down my defenses by showing me what it really means to be cherished. Just when I think I’m finally safe, a new threat surfaces, one who decides I need to pay for Perry’s disappearance.

Chomp
I left the congregation I was born into when it became apparent that our alpha was a cruel, reprehensible piece of crap. He was the only one allowed to mate with the females as per our hierarchy, but he treated them horribly. After several fights, I chose to leave because my mother was the one who endured the punishments for my defiance.
Finding a home in Yukon Bluff in the Shifted Misfits MC settled something deep inside. While most of us were predators, we respected one another’s boundaries and found our place within the community. Because of my ability, I was a natural to run our canoe and rafting business, which had recently expanded to include sites for tent campers.
While I caught a whiff of my mate months ago during a trip to the zoo with the local foster kids, I was unable to locate her, which left my gator agitated and unsettled. To calm myself, I opted to spend the night out at the lake, only to stumble upon my mate and two men who were harming her.
Let’s just say I didn’t get my road name because I can plow through a bag of burgers! Ariel has been broken and abused, so I have to be content to help her heal. Until another threat shows up, because then? All bets are off as I protect my mate.
