Taming the Fox

2023 | LGBTQ+ | Paranormal

Centuries of interbreeding with humans has weakened shifter magic. These days, they can barely shift, only producing partial animal forms: fuzzy humans with an animal edge. Those who can manage to sprout some fur stick together in tight clans, focused on strengthening their bloodlines.

Harlan is a fox shifter who's supposed to settle down with a vixen and make a litter of fox kits. But he longs for a male partner, and he refuses to live a lie - a stance for which his clan ostracizes him. Alone and hurt, Harlan resigns himself to a life without love, and moves into the woods where he spends his days hunting, reading, and painting in his ramshackle cabin.

Shane is a gay wolf shifter longing for a mate. He decides to move into his wealthy family’s luxurious hunting lodge…which just happens to be right next door to Harlan’s place.

When the two meet, they develop a friendship with a strong sexual attraction. But Harlan’s insecurity about his poverty, and his fear of being hurt again, keeps them from being the partners they both need.

A wolf who has everything. A fox who’s lost it all. Will they take a chance on love?

A spicy contemporary m/m Romance with two fuzzy, sweet shifters who have a bad habit of snuggling by the fire.

*Revised version! An earlier version of this story was released in 2010. It was much shorter, and included some spanking kink. This work is heavily revised and expanded. Contains no spanking, but still has lots of sexy heat.*
