Successful CEO Rue Harding has no idea of her son’s true nature or that Kelsey, the beautiful, mysterious private tutor she hires for him, isn’t really there to teach him algebra.

True Nature is a gripping lesbian paranormal romance about family bonds and being true to yourself. This second novel in Jae’s award-winning Shape-Shifter series can be read as a standalone. For solitary novelist Jorie Price, true love seems as fictional as the shape-shifting creatures she writes about in her paranormal romances. Griffin Westmore doesn't believe in love either, but she's one of those not-so-fictional shape-shifters who secretly live among humans. When Jorie's writing gets uncomfortably close to the truth, Griffin is sent to investigate and, if necessary, kill the author to protect the secrets of her kind. But when Griffin unexpectedly finds herself drawn to Jorie, her world is turned upside-down. Hell, she's supposed to kill the human, not fall in love with her! How can she complete her mission now? This compelling, lesbian paranormal romance is part one in Jae's award-winning Shape-Shifter series but can be read as a standalone novel. Leni, a small-town, blue-collar lesbian, despairs of ever finding true love—or even just a Friday night date. Pickings are slim, but romantic woes aside, she's happy living in the place she was born and raised. Then Leni gets a new job as a nightshift cook at The Jester's Court, a bustling roadside truck stop, where she encounters an enigmatic colleague nicknamed Yak. Finding herself fascinated with the woman, Leni disregards all advice to the contrary and attempts to befriend her fellow chef. Yak proves to be a hard nut to crack, but what's harder still is deciphering why everyone lives in fear of her. When events spiral out of control and Leni learns the dangerous truth, she must decide if winning Yak's heart is worth the price she might have to pay. Novelist Jorie Price doesn't believe in the existence of shape-shifting creatures or true love. She leads a solitary life, and the paranormal romances she writes are pure fiction for her. Griffin Westmore knows better-at least about one of these two things. She doesn't believe in love either, but she's one of the not-so-fictional shape-shifters. She's also a Saru, an elite soldier with the mission to protect the shape-shifters' secret existence at any cost. When Jorie gets too close to the truth in her latest shape-shifter romance, Griffin is sent to investigate-and if necessary to destroy the manuscript before it's published and to kill the writer. --Provided by publisher When Wolf-shifter Kelsey Yates Discovers That Fourteen-year-old Shape-shifter Danny Harding Is Living With A Human Adoptive Mother, She Is Sent On A Secret Mission To Protect The Pup And Get Him Away From The Human.
