Vixen Ecology
Book 4 of the San Andreas Shifters series
Werewolf Lovejoy adores Mana, an ancient fox-shifter and dazzling performer whose independence has made their relationship both irresistible and uncertain. Convinced that someone so magical cannot be asked to stay, he carefully avoids requesting the commitment he actually wants. A darker fairy-tale turn forces both characters to confront the fears and assumptions hidden beneath their long-running arrangement. Brief, sensual, and series-dependent, this San Andreas Shifters interlude suits established adult fans who enjoy queer paranormal romance, hurt-comfort, kitsune lore, recurring side characters, and happy endings earned by finally voicing needs that devotion alone cannot communicate.
