Hal's Silence

Determined to do more than hide out in Arrowtown, Lion shifter Hal Lamont decides to head out on a road trip. Armed with his speech app, enough pens and papers to sink a battleship, and a deep desire to find his long lost confidence, he sets out, planning a short stay in Jackson before seeing where the open road will take him. But a random night out in the mainly human town changes his world in a way he doesn't imagine - and not necessarily for the better.
Blade Morgan was a shark shifter, but he doesn't see why that should stop him making a success of the casino he had been operating in Jackson. Unfortunately, the local council see things differently. One night, while doing his best to keep patrons happy, he sees the haunted yet amused eyes of a shifter as the man was heading out the door. Blade was compelled to give chase - and got more than he bargained for.
Communication was one of the easiest hurdles in Hal's and Blade's new mating. But between the local council, a woman hellbent on revenge, and a shooter who missed his target, the start to their new life together wasn't easy. Keep an eye out for a Jaws-fixated waiter, a Fae who finds Hal's phone at just the right time, and some grumpiness from Doc among others. Hal's Silence is an MM Paranormal Romance story featuring Fated Mates.
It was written for mature audiences. This book can be read as a standalone, but you will get more understanding of the secondary characters and more details on how Hal lost his tongue, if you read Liam's Lament (Book 3) first.
