Force of Nature - The Shifter Chronicles (Book 1)

Sephora Cassidy is a shapeshifter, and a prisoner in her own home. Her mother, Mabel, works tirelessly to keep her safe from a world who would seek to destroy her and exploit her powers. But Mabel's motives seem far from noble, and when Sephora questions their life of hiding, her mother's behavior spawns more questions than answers. Escape looks like the only answer, and Seph sets out to establish her freedom in the very universe that's out to get her. But for once in her life, she finds she is not alone - suddenly she discovers that relationships shouldn't be laced with manipulation, and there are good people in this world who care about her. Will she finally be free of her mother's iron rule? And can she learn to open her heart to someone who doesn't want to control her?
