What would you do for the love of a pet? Or to win the heart of a skittish paranormal? These five stories by best-selling M/M romance author J.D. Walker will show you what happens when the heart stops at nothing to get what it wants. Contains the stories: All a Steer Can Do Is Try: Clifford Ames is overworked by his boss and desperately needs a change. Temporary escape comes in the form of a wedding invitation he gladly accepts. When Clifford arrives at the resort with his dog, Bambi, he encounters Jetson Briscoe, who turns him inside out. But an emergency business call at the resort has Clifford wondering whether enough is enough, and it's time for a change -- with Jetson. Of Paws and Pet Rocks: Barry Dunning is a lonely pet groomer and painter of rocks. He's been burned badly by an ex-boyfriend who left him with tons of debt. Then Sheldon Svenson, the owner of the animal shelter where Barry volunteers on weekends, asks him out on a date. It ends badly, but Sheldon pursues Barry and convinces him to give them another chance. Maybe this time, they'll get it right. Romancing the Bouncer: Ben Pachowski is a bouncer at Throwbacks. Monty Mabuse, bass player for a popular band that performs there, wants Ben, but he won't do anything but flirt. Monty plays dirty to get in Ben's pants, and it backfires. Having alienated Ben, Monty has to figure out how to make amends. He has his work cut out for him, but a little romance could go a long way. To Catch His Mate: Felix Cotter is an insurance investigator, and a mixed breed shifter. He's hot on the trail of a thief who smells like mate.

Tyler is being forced to steal against his will, and Felix is determined to help him. In fact, he wants to keep him safe and at his side forever. To Love His Mate: Tyler Panterone is worried. Someone from his lover's past has come to call and Tyler is terrified that Felix will be taken away from him. It makes for a tense few days as Thanksgiving Day looms, and then another shifter appears out of the blue. With the kids causing mischief and the house to manage, Tyler is at his wit's end. Will this Thanksgiving bring everyone together or tear them apart?

Pets, Paranormal Box Set

“I-it’s been a while, Felix. H-how are things?” Carl awkwardly asked, looking up from the floor directly into my face as I kneeled before him. He licked his lips, reminding me how long it had been since I’d had a blow job.


“Things are good.” I finished helping him pick up the papers on the floor, giving him time to regain his composure, though the bulge in his pants told other tales. Good thing I had a spare condom in my wallet.


“It’s time for a break, right?” I said. “How about we go down to the cantina and get a cup of coffee? I have a few things—business things—I’d like to discuss with you, and we can catch up.”


A tentative smile said “yes” as he heaped everything else onto the middle of his desk and stood to go with me. Carl had never masked his desire for casual sex with me, though I knew he’d be willing to make things more permanent, if I were ever interested. I was always interested in sex, especially lately with the constant wet dreams about my elusive thief.
