In book one of the Peacekeepers: On an American holiday with her best friend, Karen never dreamed she would meet not one, but two hunky men, who are convinced they are polar bears and she’s their mate.
Brad and Duncan are two-hundred-year-old polar bear shifters. They are Peacekeepers, created by the gods to keep the peace between paranormal beings. They’re stronger, they heal faster, and all their senses are better than any other paranormal being, to help them keep the peace. But Peacekeeping is a dangerous job, so to help lessen the dangers, they work in pairs and mate in triads.
Duncan and Brad have just found their mate, Karen. Now all they have to do is convince her to stay with them and keep her safe.
Will Duncan and Brad be able to convince Karen to stay, or will having two men be too much, sending her running back to her homeland?

Excerpt from the Laird's Future Bride
Prologue
At the beginning of time, the Gods gathered to discuss the violent behavior of the paranormal beings. No species seemed to be able to sort out their problems amongst themselves, or come together to keep the peace.
Together, the Gods decided they would produce Peacekeepers. These paranormal beings would each be of a different paranormal species, but all would be mutual. The Peacekeepers would have extra powers to assist them in keeping the peace. They would live longer, be stronger, heal faster, all their senses would be better, and they would work in pairs, and mate in triads. This would help keep their mates and any offspring safe. They all, no matter the species, would have a soul mate, and their offspring would be Peacekeepers, as well.
To help the keepers feel safe, they would have land of their own. When they claimed land as their home, it became mutual ground, and a special protection field would form around it. When they were on their land, the Peacekeepers and their loved ones were safe.
The Gods each chose a species, and they molded two sets of Peacekeepers from each species. Once done, they set their Peacekeepers to work.
Chapter One
“That was the best concert so far. It’s the best idea you’ve ever had, Karen. We are killing two birds with one stone. Seeing America, and going to festivals to see bands that wouldn’t come to Australia. The only downside is that these crazy Americans drive on the wrong side of the road. I’m glad you’re driving, because I don’t think I could stay on what they call the right side.”
Karen shot a grin at her best friend, Jacky, before turning back to the road. “We had to celebrate you breaking up with dickhead some way. And you said ‘do something big and drastic.’ So, I thought of the two things we always wanted to do, see America, Alaska, and go to loads of concerts.”
“I’m so lucky to have a friend like you. I don’t know any other friend who would take two months off work to travel with her best friend to cheer her up. I’m actually surprised your work okayed you to go. Isn’t the new owner of the doctors' surgery an asshole?”
Karen debated what to say. She didn’t want to tell Jacky that she’d quit her job before they left so she could go on this trip. They’d only been in America just over two weeks, and they’d been having so much fun. This was their first drive. They’d flown twice, but since they had two weeks before the next concert they wanted to see the country, so now it was time for the driving part of their journey, giving themselves that time to explore Alaska. Karen had rented a car at the Alaskan Airport, and they were on their way to a cute little town that guaranteed the best wildlife experience.
“Jacky, we have wildlife stuff in Australia. Why the hell do you want to stay at this place?” Karen wasn’t a nature person, she was a shopping and spending money person. Jacky loved wildlife and exploring. Theirs was a weird friendship, but they balanced each other out. Hiking and walking along bush tracks were favorites of Jacky’s, and she was constantly trying to get Karen to join her, but Karen wasn’t a fan of walking for miles in the bush with lots of bugs and animals and she thought hiking was worse. Karen glanced at her friend to see a dreamy expression come over her face.
“I want to see a polar bear, and this place says it can guarantee it.”
Karen groaned, “Please tell me you haven’t paid a ridiculous amount of money to be scammed?”
Jacky blew a raspberry her way. “The website and the brochures I was sent, all promise it too.”
Karen really hoped they weren’t going to be ripped off, because thanks to quitting her job and using her savings for this trip, she didn’t know when she’d be able to go on holidays again. “I hope you’re right.”
“Did this weekend booking say when they would arrive?” Brad asked his brother, Duncan, who sat at their table going through paperwork.
“Yeah, The Johnson group should be here soon. Actually, I expected them an hour or two ago. Why?”
“Fuck! We have problems.”
His brother looked up at him, now giving his full attention.
“I just got a call from Davis. He said a rival pack was coming to negotiate land terms with them. Davis didn’t realize we had a booking this weekend and said our hotel was free… And we are the Peacekeepers. What should I do now? I thought about sending the packs down to Wildlife Hotel, and we would go down when we could and sort out the problems there, but they’re a human hotel. I know they know about us, but they’re not strong enough to break up any fights that might occur with the wolves.”
Duncan ran his fingers through his blond hair and glared at him. “The Johnson booking is only staying four nights. I’ll offer them our lodge cabin, and hope they take it. We’ll stay here and keep an eye on all the wolves and make sure they’re on their best behavior. I’ll call our brothers back for help. They shouldn’t be far anyway. They can either help watch the wolves, or take the Johnson group on tours.”
Brad nodded to his brother as he heard the gravel crunching and saw a car coming down the lane to the hotel. “One of our guests is here.”
Together they walked to the entry door, opened it, and sat on the veranda watching the car pull up.
Brad’s bear rose to the surface as a warm fresh summer breeze smell wafted to him over the car’s fumes, and his dick become instantly hard.
What the hell?
He looked at Duncan to see the same strange look on his face that Brad knew he must have. Brad straightened himself and put himself on alert. He could feel his whole body ready itself in anticipation for something big. The heavenly smell continued to waft to him over the car fumes, and Brad’s body grew tight as his cock rose.
