Captain John Casinov has two loves in his life—his family and his work. When his son, Jonathan, and the man's family visits from Santa Cruz—primarily to try to convince him to retire and move south—John takes advantage of one of his detective's offer. He accepts a bunch of free passes to the marine park, World of Aquatica. While there, he finds his interest snagged by a big, friendly, black-haired man. The handsome man brazenly introduces himself as William Roush…then he asks John on a date. While he's flattered, John laughs it off while declining. Undeterred, William approaches John a second time later that day, so he accepts. Imagine his surprise when John discovers who William actually is—the partial owner of the marine park. John doesn't understand why a man who's young, confident, and rich—who could have anyone he wants—would pursue him. When William shares that shifters are real, John wonders at the man's sanity…until William actually proves it. Can John come to grips with his newfound knowledge and accept William into his life? Or will retiring and running be the decision of the day?

World of Aquatica: When a group of aquatic shifters create a marine park, there’s so much more happening than what appears just on the surface. When Kaiser Roush decided to round up a couple of dozen other aquatic shifters and create a marine park, he’d known it would be a success. He’d even roped his brother William into it, making him the beta of his pod. Now their park contains a massive variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic shifters—sharks, dolphins, octopi, seahorses, and so much more. It seems, Kaiser’s not the only one who agrees with his idea. Fate is smiling on them and sending some of them mates—the other halves of their souls. The problem is, sharing their secret with humans brings a new set of issues. The humans have problems, too…and Kaiser will have to figure out a way to balance helping the shifters in his pod as well as their mates with keeping his people safe. Bundle Contains: Backstroking with a Tiger Shark Book 1 Floating with a Sea Cow Book 2 Diving with a Hammerhead Book 3
