    About this ebook

    Marcin finds himself in a bind when he’s trapped in his shifter form and sold to a pet store. His frustration at the situation is palpable, but when he's taken home by good-looking Hamilton, his plan is to win over his new owner and make his escape? However, after a few weeks with Hamilton, does he want to make a complete escape, or just stop being caged?

    If you like foul-mouthed tiny shifters whose surly attitudes are many times bigger than their physical presence, then this may be the book for you.

      Marcin sat in the corner glaring at the two hamsters on the other side of the cage. If hamsters could kill with a glance, the little buggers would be dead. How in the hell could they run around on that stupid wheel all day? Didn’t they know it only amused the people walking by? How freaking degrading.

      No, being stuck in a damn cage at some pet store was degrading. He’d thought the chance to go visit his grandparents for the summer and hang out at their cottage in the country was a perfect way to spend a few months before looking for another job. One day he was out scurrying around the forest where he was sure no one would see him and the next? Whammo, stuck in a metal box with a bunch of these illiterate, non-shifting, stupid ass – he glared at them – hamsters.

      He’d been unable to shift in the cage they had him in and he was sure his grandparents were freaking out. They had warned him to be careful, but seriously, no one traps hamsters in the wild. Well, they didn’t. Now he was stuck in a lovely glass box at PetSmart in ... somewhere, USA. He wasn’t sure where exactly, but he knew it was the US based on the accents. And there he sat with a sign that said imported wild hamsters over his head.

      Oh, he’d be wild alright if anyone got close enough. He’d chew their... well, something off. And if he had to eat one more sunflower seed he was going to vomit. He just needed someone to let him down on the ground so he could shift and get the hell out of here.

      Thanks to his cage mates and their wild behaviour (he’d never heard anyone or anything
