Mokoaroa Shifter Novels
Taken By The Bear
I knew shifters were real. I just didn’t expect one to crash into my life. Literally.I thought my biggest problem was juggling late-night lab sessions and avoiding Marina's overly enthusiastic attempts to set me up on dates. Turns out, dodging bullets and being kidnapped by a shadowy council intent on shifter experiments wasn’t on my calendar. Enter Jake Eastburn: six feet of gruff, brooding, bear-shifting intensity, who insists he’s here to protect me.Oh, and apparently, I’m his mate. No pressure, right?Sure, I’ve known about shifters for years (shoutout to my bestie Marina, who wolfed out on a camping trip, I’ve kept their secrets), but I wasn’t exactly prepared for Jake’s brand of “protectiveness”or the whole soul-deep connection thing. While my inner scientist wants to analyze every growl and glowing green eye, my heart (and, annoyingly, my hormones) is telling me to trust him.Now, I’m stuck in a whirlwind of danger, secrets, and a council that’s very interested in my research for reasons no one wants to explain. Jake swears he can keep me safe, but his overprotective tendencies are giving me a crick in my neck.The problem? The longer I’m around him, the harder it is to deny the spark between us or the fact that he might just be the only person who can help me survive this mess.
BOOK ONE
Claimed by the Bear
I was just trying to solve a murder. I didn’t expect my past and a world I didn’t know existed to come crashing down on me.
As a detective, I’ve seen my fair share of crime scenes. But when I arrive at this one, the last thing I expect is for Liam Seal my childhood crush turned walking temptation to step back into my life. He’s bigger, bolder, and somehow even more infuriatingly smug. And apparently, not just a man.
Turns out, shifters are real. And I’m smack in the middle of a murder tied to their world.
Great.
Being a detective means I don’t have time for relationships. Been there, done that, got the emotional scars to prove it. My job is my life, and getting tangled up with a possessive, cocky, too-damn-sexy-for-his-own-good polar bear shifter is not in the plan.
But Liam Seal? He’s relentless. A six-foot-something wall of muscle, charm, and heat who keeps looking at me like I’m his next meal and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted. He calls me his mate, but I’m not sure I believe in destiny.
The problem? The closer we get, the harder it is to ignore the fire between us. And when fated mates are involved, resisting might not be an option.
Too bad my heart and my body didn’t get the memo.
Now, with danger closing in and Liam refusing to let me go, I have to decide: fight fate or take the biggest risk of my life… and let a bear claim me as his.
Book Two
Loved By the Bear
I came to the tropics for a break. A little sun, a lot of ocean, and absolutely no complications.
Instead? My best friend’s dead, a secret drive full of dangerous intel has landed in my lap, and now someone wants me permanently silenced. My only hope of staying alive? Going on the run with William Smith grumpy bear shifter, elite SAS operative… and the man who once made it crystal clear I wasn’t his type.
Now we’re posing as newlyweds at a honeymoon resort while we hunt down a killer and decrypt the files that got my friend murdered. The problem? Every time William looks at me like I belong to him, it gets a lot harder to remember this is all an act.
I’m a panda shifter with a brain wired for planning, not combat. He’s a walking fortress with claws, secrets, and a body built for war. We’re complete opposites.
But when it comes to William, my heart and my inner animal aren’t playing pretend.
And if we don’t figure out what’s on this drive fast, it won’t just be the mission that gets wrecked. It’ll be me.
Book Three
Tricked by the Bear
One second, I was elbow-deep in lab work.
The next? Drugged, kidnapped, and dragged into a mess that smells a hell of a lot like betrayal and bear.
Enter Carter Armstrong. Alpha elite. Grumpy protector. Built like a walking fantasy.
He says he’s here to keep me safe.
But the way he looks at me? That’s not just protection. That’s claiming.
That’s “mate” with a capital M.
I’m not exactly the damsel type, and I sure as hell didn’t ask for a protective bear to come barrelling into my life. But now we’re tangled in a conspiracy that could get us both killed, and Carter is the only one I trust mostly. When he’s not driving me crazy with that bossy growl and those... very talented hands.
Good thing I’ve got backup: three overprotective brothers, a found family of badass shifters, and a wolf inside me who’s finally howling for something real.
The problem?
The one man who might be my forever is keeping secrets.
And I’m not sure which will come first me saving the world… or jumping his bones.
Kidnapped, claimed, and falling hard for a possessive alpha bear, this wolf is about to rewrite the rules.
