Signed, Sealed, Delivered Box Set 2
(2022)(A book in the Marcus and Ricci Boxed Sets series)
An omnibus of novels by A J Marcus and Caitlin Ricci
More stories of shifters mated at first sight. Not all the arranged matings go smoothly. Can all these shifters find the love they so desperately seek? Will personal feelings be able to mesh with family obligations?
After years of being in a walking coma, Jeremy, an elephant shifter, isn’t sure he wants a mate, but when the crab shifter who took care of him during his illness makes the ultimate sacrifice to give him a second chance, all of his resistance breaks down.
For Jeremy, being awake and aware again is a miracle. He’s been in a walking coma for years, and knows his recovery could be temporary. No one knows why the medicine worked, or how long he’ll have before a possible relapse. Jeremy plans his days only hours ahead and can’t make commitments further out, just in case.
Which is why he absolutely cannot have a mate. He won’t force someone else to share his life if he might become a zombie again. It wouldn’t be fair.
Ansel knows he’s Jeremy’s fated mate. He’s known it for years, and he helped take care of him when he was in Florida. Now he’s traveled to Washington to be with him, and no matter what happens to Jeremy, Ansel is prepared to stay by his side. Ansel loves him. He only wishes that Jeremy would take him seriously for once and stop pushing him away.
Can love conquer fear and deliver them from the anguish filling their lives?
Jacob and Adrian fell in love in high school. They are mates and always have been, but then Adrian cheated. It was one night of stupidity, and it ruined their relationship forever.
Or so they both thought.
Years later, they’re thrown back together when Adrian’s parents want Jacob to mate with Charlie. Adrian isn’t thrilled with the idea of Jacob being with his little brother, but there’s nothing he can do about it either.
If Adrian wants him back, he’ll have to prove that he’s never going to hurt Jacob again. But it might already be too late for them. Sometimes second chances take a little work and acceptance.
Charlie is not the first shifter to be interested in West, but he certainly is the most persistent. It doesn’t help that they’re living in the same house, even if there are other people around constantly. West needs a break from him, but he can’t get that right now, and it’s not as if Charlie is really doing anything to him. If West was at a different point in his life, he might have actually been interested in the crab, but right now he needs to focus more on getting his medical degree than on starting a relationship.
Charlie wants West. That’s undeniable. He doesn’t even care that West used to work for Critters on Call. He likes him and he can’t explain why, or how come West doesn’t seem remotely interested. Whatever West needs, Charlie wants to help him with it. He just needs the cheetah to give him a chance. He’s sure if he can impress West enough, eventually West will want him too.
Too bad the universe has other plans for them.
