He tilted her chin up so that her eyes met his. He was breathing easily, curse him, thanks to his shark. The space was far too small for him to transform fully, but gill-slits had opened up in his neck. He’d always had exquisite control over his shift form.
He pressed his lips to hers again, and for a moment she thought that he was going to breathe air into her burning lungs. Instead, she felt his mouth curve in a smile.
Then he tickled her.
“Finn!” she yelped—or would have yelped, if water hadn’t rushed down her throat.
The tightness in her chest immediately eased. Cool streams tickled the sides of her neck. Astonished, she lifted her hands, and felt gills like Finn’s fluttering just south of her jawline.
His chuckle echoed in her mind. *I suspect you have not needed that pearl for some time now.*
Martha twisted a foot, staring at the webbing that had sprouted between her toes. *But I’m not a shark!*
He laughed again, and drew her close for another kiss. *No. You are a coyote.*
Somewhere in her soul, her animal grinned a sly canine smile. Its tail curled in self-satisfaction. And a coyote is never too old to learn a new trick.
She laughed out loud, surrendering to joy. Reaching out, she clasped Finn’s hand. One kick of her legs, and the landscaped garden dropped away. And together, as always, they headed for the surface, and family, and home.

All books are standalone romances, each focusing on a new couple. However, characters from previous books reappear in later stories, so reading in series order is recommended for maximum enjoyment!
