The Trouble With Nerds

MM Shifter Romance

by April Kelley

When the past collides with his dragon shifter fated mate, he’s in for the fight of his life.

Henri’s life was turned upside down the day a friend stole his notebook and claimed Henri’s research as his own. Now enhanced humans exist and it’s all Henri’s fault. What will happen to him when his secret is revealed?

Rocky is an investigator on a mission. First, he has to get his mate to have a conversation. Then he needs to get Henri to trust him. They’ll get to the mating part afterward. It has to be in that order because Rocky already knows Henri’s secret and it’s a deadly one.

How do you earn the trust of a nerdy turtle shifter when time is running out? Rocky is just starting to figure it out when Henri’s past comes to Saint Lakes and they have to fight for the right to exist.

The Trouble with Nerds is the final book in the MM Paranormal Romance Saint Lakes series. It features a dragon shifter with a found family and who will go to any lengths to protect his mate and an awkward scholarly turtle shifter who needs to learn it’s okay to lean on his fated mate. If you like mates with a size difference and a little snark thrown in, you’ll love this steamy romance. The Trouble with Nerds comes with a guaranteed happily ever after.

Summary: Is any case too cold to crack? Book 8 in the Lessons in Murder series, by award-winning, best-selling author Edale Lane. Jenna’s gaze lingers over the diamond rings in the showcase. She wants to pop the question to her partner Randi if she can only arrange the perfect proposal. Per usual, her work as Roanoke PD’s leading homicide detective gets in the way, not to mention the inconveniences of an early winter storm. Randi, who knows Jenna isn’t ready for marriage, has a surprise planned for their first anniversary. She’s also crafting a strategy to visit both their families for Christmas while preparing for the end of the semester. When a dying mother asks Jenna to investigate her daughter’s unsolved murder from thirty years ago, she can’t refuse. Despite the unlikelihood of success, she digs into the past and interviews whoever is still alive. But will buried concerns unearthed by the investigation give Jenna cold feet?

Summary: In a brutal world where everyone is born an Alpha, beta, or omega, is it possible to be one birth nature but still lead a full life while pretending to be another? Tobias Hanson is a cop, specifically a homicide detective. The cases he investigates? Murdered omegas. Except in Tobias’ world, an Alpha killing his omega is perfectly acceptable. After all, omegas are nothing more than easily replaced, purchased property. With his family long since gone, Tobias spends his days with dead omegas, and his nights in self-imposed solitary loneliness. Abundio Chale is an enigma. Like most alphas, he is highly educated, attractive, and possesses the same self-confidence all of his birth nature do. Yet, despite his schooling and his alpha privilege, he hops from job to job as if searching for something. And, like Tobias, he spends most evenings alone, longing for the one thing he doesn’t have. A chance meeting puts both men on a path neither saw coming. Lives will change, love will be found, and both men may get exactly what they want. But, like most things, there will be a price to pay. Will it be worth it?
