Sweet Things For A Crocodile

Focus. You're sharing a room with a brooding hulk who hasn't said anything in over an hour. He's just sharpening that damn machete and muttering to himself. 

Pax, a cute little pixie (his words), is having a bad day. It started off nice enough, but finding himself chained to a floor watching a bear shifter sharpening a machete wasn't how he preferred to spend his afternoon. When his own silver tongue didn't seem to be working and that machete started swinging, Pax needed a hero - fast. 

"Hold that thought, sweetie." 

Storm, crocodile shifter, assassin and lover of Italian shoes didn't consider himself a hero, but he was really glad Cyrus had given him the job of saving the sweet magic user from a manic bear shifter. Now if he could only just save the man without being stabbed... 

"...Evil shifters who chain up cute magic users don't get mates, sweetie. But it seems like sexy crocodile shifters who save chained up magic users do. Let's have a look at those cuffs." 

It takes a bit of adjustment, but Storm and Pax start working on their lives together. Or at least, they would, if family members on both sides didn't start coming out of the woodwork causing trouble. Through it all, one thing is clear. Donuts can solve almost anything. 

This book is the second book in the Assassin's Alley series. It can be read as a standalone, but some readers might like to learn more about the secondary characters by reading book one, Not that Kind of Demon.
