Cocktail Wolf (Bite-Sized Shifters, #6) / Bite-Sized Shifters (ePub)

Marie's new boss is a bear. Literally.

Marie Caldwell has watched all of her best friends find their fated mates, and despite their best efforts to reject their soulmates, they're now all living their own version of "happily ever after". But not Marie. She's stuck in the same job she's had for twenty years, slinging cocktails for the shifters of Greysden and worried that life has passed her by.

When her boss dies, the wolf shifter thinks it may be a sign to leave town and find something new. She agrees to stay just long enough to help the new owner learn how to run the bar before she goes off in search of adventure.

Ben Murphy hadn't seen his estranged father since he was a kid, and he certainly never expected to inherit Murphy's Bar. He's burned out from his years working in finance, and a move to Greysden to run a small-town bar sounds like just the break he needs.

But his new job isn't as easy as he expected. Running a bar is way harder than it looks, and his sassy assistant manager, Marie, hates his guts. That's a definite problem, because the strong-willed independent wolf is also his fated mate.

She's not the woman he would have chosen, but who is he to question fate? Unfortunately, Marie's got one paw out the door, and she doesn't care what fate says, there's no way she's staying.

"Cocktail Wolf" is book five in the "Bite-Sized Shifters", a series of paranormal romantic comedies you can read in just a few hours. Each book in the series is a steamy standalone featuring a mature couple, meddling friends, and a guaranteed HEA.
