Project Zed Series

Midnight, Mississippi Series

Recommended Reading Order for the Bear Mountain, Project Zed, and Midnight, Mississippi Books

Hi there! As many of you know, I began both Bear Mountain spinoff series midway through writing the twenty-three books* of Bear Mountain. 

Now that all three series are in Kindle Unlimited, there's been renewed interest in these series.

So here's a quick guide to which order I recommend them to be read in...

* * *

Bear Mountain Books 1-18

Beast, Project Zed, 1

Bear Mountain Books 19-20

Bearly Midnight, Midnight Mississippi, 1

Project Zed and Midnight books 1-4** aren’t linked... so either series can be read 1st/2nd

Bear Mountain Books 21-22 should be read AFTER the end of Project Zed

* * *

*Twenty-three books? Why do I only see twenty-two books for Bear Mountain?? Because Amazon doesn't like middle books and won't add them to series pages. Theirs by Bond is Bear Mountain Book 1.5 and it revisits Royce, Jared, and Carson from book one and expands on their story. And yes -- it's available in KU, too.

**The Midnight books also have one of those pesky 'in the middle books' that Amazon likes to hide. Theirs by Midnight is book 3.5. It is also in KU.

ALSO!!

The Midnight, Mississippi series is NOT complete. Book 5 has been on my to-write list for far too long. I need to get my butt in gear and write it. The Omegaverse books stole my muse's attention... especially since there's at least 2-3 more books to write in that series. When they come, I'm going to recommend they be read after Bear Mountain Books 21 and 22, just in case.

New Release: CYBORG: A Bear Mountain Story (Project Zed, 7) by Kelex

The final PROJECT ZED book is here!

Pfc. Ford Lennox is fairly certain he’s once again in the wrong place at the wrong time. He hadn’t been a true part of the terror that was Project Zed, but suffered because of it, just the same. Ford was forced to remain in Bear Mountain to hide their location, but once Zed attacks, he knows he’s no longer bound to stay. Too bad a chance meeting with a wolf shifter in a wheelchair has him lingering and questioning if he should leave.

Angry at the world, Hemming takes out his frustrations on those closest to him—and ignores the draw to Lennox… at first. When the human is attacked by another shifter, the protective instinct within the wolf goes into overdrive and he’ll do just about anything to keep Ford safe.

But he’s tasked with hacking into the cyborg Zed left behind during the last attack. Deacon wants the shifter within saved, but Hemming’s not so sure that’s possible. Can he get through the bits and bytes and find the man inside—especially when his focus is torn between the cyborg and the human he’s vowed to protect?

As the war comes to a close, everything is on the line.

“So what you feel for me is instinct. An animal lust you can’t ignore?”

Hemming lifted his stare, a glow to his eyes. “In all honesty, yes. That’s what it is.”

“I’m no animal… so what is it I feel for you?”

Hemming lowered the tech in his hands down to the table and then pinned Ford with a heated stare. Ford could feel it all the way down to his toes.

“I don’t know… what do you feel for me?” Hemming asked, his voice more growl than words.

The throbbing need he felt intensified. “A connection… one that… tightens around me each time we see one another. I can barely think… barely breathe… my heart goes crazy in my chest. All I can think about is… being with you… touching you… kissing you.”

“Do you want to kiss me right now?” 

Ford nodded.

“Then perhaps you should come here and kiss me,” Hemming said.

Rising on shaking legs, Ford did just that. He took the few steps and nearly fell into Hemming’s lap. Ford captured the shifter’s face in his hands and pressed his mouth to the man’s lips. That one touch electrified him, zipping through his body like a jolt. His hands slid to the back of Hemming’s head. He felt as if he needed to hold on tight and never let go.

Hemming’s scruff scratched his face as they fed from each other. Intoxicated by the rough lash of the wolf’s tongue, he moaned, hungry for Hemming to take more from him. As if he understood Ford’s need, the shifter slid a hand through his hair and captured the back of his head, a touch roughly.

Another groan came from his lips as his tongue warred with Hemming’s. He bit the wolf’s lower lip and sucked it between his own before releasing it to lick and nibble some more. Breathless with anticipation, he moved to straddle his lover’s lap.

Predator
Project Zed, Book 6


English Edition

After months of being in a coma, Parker awakens chained to a hospital bed, his skin scarred and raw. He’s barely able to look at his own image in a mirror, his body left in a painful ruin by something others call a gift. Parker has no plans to remain in Bear Mountain or help a bunch of freaks win some war he has no part in.

But there’s not much left for him to go home to. With the help of Samuel, he finally realizes the safest place for him is right where he is… and there’s no reason not to try to learn a little control while he’s there… before he burns himself alive.

That control is put to the test as two shifters come into his life. One is quiet and persistent. The other is wild and chaotic. He craves their touch, but refuses it. Now locked in a scarred body, he’s no longer the pretty party boy he’d been before a bolt of lightning carried him to Bear Mountain.

Who would want someone like him, disfigured by the very lightning contained within him?

Confronted with monsters and magic, he has to come to terms with who he is now, learn to accept the image in the mirror, and face a future he’d never have imagined in a million years.

New Release: Fire & Ice (Project Zed, 5) by Kelex

Cpl. Guillaume “Gator” Arnaud did some terrible things while he was with Project Zed. He’d followed orders, battling the enemies he’d been trained to fight. Now a part of the shifter army, he’s worked to atone for the things he did. Along the way, he’s also fallen for one of the human elementals, Dario.

When a dragon shifter arrives on base, he throws a wrench into Gator’s well laid plans. Gator feels an intense attraction to Jaeger—and then learns Dario senses that same attraction to the shifter. Yet when he sees the bond forged between the two other men, he worries he’ll be left out in the cold.

Jaeger doesn’t know about Gator’s past. He fears once the dragon knows the truth, his chance at love will evaporate. Does he go the easy way out and focus on Dario? Or does he throw caution to the wind, and aim for both men—and possibly lose them both?

Prologue

Chokurdakh, Siberia, Russia

2007

Jaeger drained the shot glass. With the back of his hand, he scrubbed the remnants of the cheap vodka from his lips. The alcohol burned as it went down, not especially to his liking. Having acquired a taste for the finer things, rot-gut alcohol wasn’t something he necessarily appreciated, but there was a purpose for it. Across the table, a Slavic man stared back at him, chuckling under his breath.

“I’ve not met one who could drink as heartily as I,” the man spoke in his native Russian. Any other person wouldn’t have seen the telltale signs that the man was beginning to weaken.

There was a slight hitch to his voice.

A barest of sways to his body.

A slight drop in his eyelids.

Jaeger smiled back before pouring them both another round from the bottle. He believed it was their thirtieth. Or was it the thirty-first? He’d lost count along the way. No matter, as he wouldn’t be the one to lose the bet.

Dragons couldn’t get drunk, although as quickly as they’d gone through the empty bottles on the table, he might be testing that theory.

Men? They weren’t quite so fortunate.

Jaeger eyed the meager handful of rubles on the table between them, disliking paper money. Gold, that was better, but a bet was a bet was a bet.

Especially when he had ulterior motives.

He lifted the shot glass. “Za zdorovje.” Jaeger downed the shot and slammed the glass onto the table.

The human parroted the phrase and drained his glass. Jaeger watched the slight wobble to the man’s hand before he lowered the glass to the table. He smiled, pouring another round and finishing off their third bottle.

Jaeger had to give it to the man. He hadn’t seen a human able to drink so much in the space of two hours and barely show signs of drunkenness.

Barely being the operative word.

Well, he is Russian.

Jaeger eyed the man across from him. A Russian captain of one of the boats docked outside at the river’s port.

A boat that was carrying a painting that would soon be in Jaeger’s possession. After being stolen in Boston over a decade before, it had bounced around on the black market, always one step ahead of Jaeger. When he’d learned of the Russian oligarch who’d purchased it, he was well pleased. Once he’d bribed enough people to learn the route it would travel, he learned it would be passing near his Siberian hideaway on its trip to St. Petersburg.

It would look far better on his walls than the oligarch’s.

His castle was farther north, closer to the Arctic Circle, and the perfect setting for Rembrandt’s lost masterpiece. The Storm on the Sea of Galilee… Jaeger had been present in the painter’s studio as the human had finished his only known seascape, and Jaeger had fallen in love with it that very moment.

He’d already fallen a little for the handsome painter and spent many a night in the man’s bed, along with Rembrandt’s friend and art dealer, Hendrick. Not long after, Rembrandt had married Hendrick’s cousin, Saskia, to quell the rumors circling the trio and thus, ending their torrid affair. The Netherlands still held special memories for him even now, remembering the young lovers he’d had there. Possessing the painting would allow him to reach into the past…

As his future grew more and more bleak. Jaeger clenched his jaw, willing the human to yield.

The years pressed on without end.

Jaeger was a dragon without purpose.

A dragon without purpose was a dangerous thing. It heralded the shifter’s end of days…

The painting… that gave him something to hold on to.

A little piece of him almost didn’t want to find it. If it was lost to him once more, it would prolong his search.

Give him something to look forward to.

The moment it was in his hands, the chase was over.

And he might be over, as well.

Jaeger watched as the man across from him began to sway ever so slightly. He lifted a hand to the barkeep. “Another bottle,” he said in his perfectly accented Russian.

Before the bottle could be delivered, the captain began to sway even more. Finally, he fell onto the floor in a heap, an “oof,” coming from his ruddy lips. A smile played at Jaeger’s lips. The man at a nearby table close to the captain reached down to check the man as Jaeger scooped up the rubles.

He rose from his seat with the captain’s heavy woolen trench coat and hat in hand, handed the barkeep the rubles to pay for the bottles and the mess, and headed for the door. As soon as he was outside in the cold, he inhaled, loving the chill to the air. It wasn’t yet winter, but already it was a brisk -22 C° outside. Barges and boats lined the nearby river, the sound of their prows crushing through ice reverberating in his ears. Above, the sky was pale and gray, the sun fighting to be seen through the clouds.

Jaeger felt his scales shimmering across his body, his ice dragon pleased with the temperature. He slid on the captain’s coat. Typically, he only wore winter gear to appease the people out on the street. He could easily walk down the street naked without freezing, but in order to hide amongst the humans, one had to act like one. Today, he needed the disguise. After donning the fur-lined ushanka on his head, he reached inside the pockets and pulled out the scarf and gloves to cover his identity more.

Jaeger sighed. He much preferred to feel the cold wrapping its icy fingers around him. Once ready, he began walking toward the docks, in search of the ship. The ice and snow crunched under his leather boots with each step.

A scent suddenly crossed his nose.

He froze, rooted to the spot. Jaeger dragged in a deep lung full and his dragon roared within. He felt the tingling of his skin, the excitement of his dragon.

Gold.

Turning, he scanned the vicinity, trying to determine where the scent was coming from. Unable to determine a source, he followed the scent. His dragon rumbled deep, urging him to move faster. This wasn’t a paltry piece or two… what he was smelling was substantial. The small port town wasn’t known for its riches. Quite the opposite.

A trap?

Onward he walked, until he spied a small Russian Orthodox Church. At some point, the building had been something else. After the break-up of the USSR, the Russian government had become lenient on the practicing of religion, and many new churches had opened their doors. If he was correct, this one had been a Soviet office building.

The closer he grew, the richer the scent and the louder his dragon became. He reached the door, a knot to his stomach.

Yet he couldn’t stop his dragon from moving forward.

He slid the door open slowly, the creaking of it echoing through the sanctuary. Almost immediately, he saw the hoard upon the altar. Salivating, he held back, listening for a sound out of place.

He heard nothing. Sensed nothing. A tremor raced through his body, the scales flittering over his flesh for a split second before hiding again. His cock grew thick and hard, the desire for gold almost as strong as his desire for sex. Blood pounded in his veins, urging him closer.

It’s a trap.

No one leaves gold out to be so easily stolen.

He took a few steps in. Inhaling, the rich scent of gold filled his nose. Even if he wasn’t alone, he likely couldn’t sense anyone above that delicious smell.

Leave.

Now, before it’s too late.

Yet, Jaeger couldn’t help taking another step closer. He searched the interior. It was dark, the gray of the day not allowing much light in through the stained glass windows. No one seemed to be about. Turning his head, he stared at the pile of gold, the need making him weak. A rivulet of sweat coursed down his forehead.

Mine.

He took one more step—before utter pain slammed into him.

Molten magma came from above, burning the flesh of his shoulders and back. Jaeger dropped to his knees, a roar of pain coming from his lips. His jacket fell around his feet, and his shirt hung limply before him, the back of it destroyed. The scent of his skin and muscle cooking filled the air, masking the gold smell that had dragged him there.

He attempted a shift, but his body refused to cooperate. His claws came out, but his body failed him. The pain was too great. Again, he tried, but another wave of hot, liquid flowed over his body.

He fell to the floor, sweat coating him. Jaeger gasped for air between the screams of pain.

One last time, he attempted to shift.

Metal.

They’d poured metal all down his back. It already felt it begin to harden.

Pain seared through him as he fell to the floor.

The blackness soon took him, but not before he saw booted feet surrounding him.

This can’t be how it ends.

NEW RELEASE - MONSTER (Project Zed, 4) IS HERE~!

MONSTER is finally here~!

For decades, Luca de Rossi has been imprisoned in Project Zed’s facility. More monster than man, he struggles with the same overwhelming fight between the different shifter spirits in his mind as previous beasts have. As a wereshifter, he doesn’t have the same strength to fight for control that the full shifters do.

Once freed from Zed, the normal therapies don’t work to free his mind and body. He remains locked in his madness, unable to return to his human self—and lost to those who desperately want him made whole again.

A dragon is chosen to attempt a new therapy. Drake the Enchanter is a powerful smoke dragon who understands prisons. Zed locked him in his body, not allowing his dragon side to emerge. While he awaits a treatment that might allow him to shift once more, he agrees to help the monster. Drake’s mental abilities are strong—but even his limits will be tested.

When he finally begins to reach the man trapped deep inside, feelings grow between the pair. If Drake can’t find Luca a way out, they’ll both be doomed.

Switching Gears

As many of you know, Bear Mountain is slowly coming to an end.  I only have two more stories planned in this series to release this year.  Of course, the series lives on some in Project Zed and there will be at least two more books in that spin-off, perhaps more.  But it won't be as large as the original series.

There *might* be another spin-off in the works, but more on that when the time is right.

Bound to Two Bears was a flash of something amazing. I was struggling with what I was SUPPOSED to be writing, so I decided to switch gears and work on something else instead.  It was going to be a one off... no series, nothing more than one book.

But after writing it, I really liked the bare bones of the world I'd created in that story.  So, I decided to write another.  Each story added more meat to those bones and I felt sort of like Bastian in the Neverending Story, creating a world from my imagination as I took a journey through it. Many of you have been with me every step of the journey...

I'd started my career as Kelex writing edgier erotica, but as I continued with this series, my stories grew more romantic. More story than sex.  Some of you liked that... whereas others haven't.

Ben was the turning point for me. His story put a wrench in my usual plan.  My other stories had been filled with a lot of BDSM and hardcore sex.  But here was this widower who ached for his lost mates and felt drawn to new lovers he was guilty for wanting.  He needed love, tenderness, and care, not whips, paddles, and bondage. Other stories in the series needed a gentler hand, as well. Eric's story... after what he'd endured at Tymber and Taryn's hands, for instance. The series evolved along the way...

But now I find myself nearing the end of the journey and I feel as if I'm on shaky ground.

I miss writing the harder erotica of my past yet really enjoy weaving the softer stories in this new direction, too. There needs to be balance in my life... a little of this and a little of that, I suppose. 

Nailing the Foreman is my next release, returning to both JLC Construction and the world of Kent Street.  It was a challenge to write -- JLC was very hot and sex fueled, whereas the Kent Street stories were a little more romantic.  Thankfully, many of the earlier characters in the JLC stories are now married or in long term relationships that allowed for a little more romance to come into the tale.

Where do I go from here? I'm not sure, but I know there are two sides to my writing and some fans only like one of those sides.  I will endeavor to keep you all happy all while keeping my muse appeased, too.
