NOTE: This is a scheduled post.
Waiting on Wednesdays is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, featuring upcoming releases we’re eagerly anticipating.
Though I only read an excerpt of the first book, I liked it enough to buy it and put the second book on my wishlist. I really like the cover for this one. Comparatively tame and, I think, sweet. When I first saw it, I thought — Sleeping Beauty. The shifters in this series are aliens, not the “were-” kind.

From the Author’s website:
Her family in danger…
Shapeshifter Camille Solomon has one motto when it comes to dealing with humans: Use, or be used. Luckily, she has the skills to use—fleecing gambling casinos. But when her father falls deathly ill, to save him she must track down her brother, and the last thing she needs is to be captured by sexy XCEL agent Griffin Mercer.
His life in ruins…
Last year, Griffin Mercer was an exceptional shapeshifter hunter, one of the few agents able to identify shifters in their human form. All that ended when his shifter partner destroyed everything he loved. He vowed to get his life back if it killed him. And after laying his hands on Camille, it just might.
A hot-blooded combination…
To find her brother, Cam agrees to help Griffin search out the shifters terrorizing New York City . While danger grows at every turn, Griffin discovers that Camille is hotter than the city nights, and Cam learns that having Griffin “handle” her is the riskiest—and most tempting—gamble she’s ever taken.
What book are you eagerly waiting for?
Oh, this sounds like a winner – an absolutely gorgeous cover, and what sounds like a great story inside. Definitely goes on my watch list.
Here’s my WOW for this week.
Thanks for stopping by! 😀
