The Shapeshifter’s Heart by Grey Francis

Forrest is both thrilled and annoyed with his new mentor. Tristan guides him with a stern hand, but Forrest wouldn’t want it any other way. Which is becoming a problem when his body continues to betray him with every lingering touch from the seductive Shapeshifter. Forrest may be a vampire, but he’s only attracted females and that’s the way it’s going to stay. At least that’s what he keeps telling himself.

Eloise knows at some point she’s going to have to make an impossible choice. She’s spent centuries with her beloved Tristan and she’s not ready to give up on his damaged heart quite yet. Forrest is a twin soul who gives her everything she’s ever wanted. She can cut the tension between her two mates with a knife, even if neither will act on the burning attraction between them. If she can ever hope to have them both, they will first have to find each other. And she’s more than happy to help.

While on a diplomatic mission to salvage what remains of their Sentient allies, Tristan and Forrest unexpectedly discover the location of Cyril Blackwell, the former leader who betrayed them all. Tristan never expected their travels to take them to Edinburgh, Scotland, a place that holds a dark, brutal past that has never stopped haunting him.

As a Shapeshifter, he fully expects to wear his many faces, capture Cyril, give Forrest his revenge, and get them both out of Scotland before his presence is detected by his Sire, the deranged and cruel vampire king. The same king who killed his family, stole his lands, and turned him and his cousin Killian 800 years ago. But things quickly go sideways when Cyril is abducted by the king and Tristan’s true identity is exposed.

With the stakes growing more dire by the moment, a deepening bond and explosive passion awakens between Tristan and Forrest. For the first time, Forrest faces who he truly is as a vampire, while discovering an unexpected power growing inside of him. And for the first time in centuries, Tristan’s heart mysteriously starts feeling again at the worst possible time.

With the future of vampire kind hinging on getting Cyril back and accessing the secrets he keeps, Tristan must broker a deal with his greatest nemesis. To survive it, he might need to call upon the darkest, most dangers parts of himself to fight an ancient king who will do anything to keep the Shapeshifter he created and lost.
The third installment of Into the Dark Woods series, The Shapeshifter’s Heart, shifts from the Triune to another unforgettable threesome, centering on Tristan and his inability to truly love those who love him. It is a story full of dark intrigue, gut-wrenching sacrifice, blood-drenched battles and the off-the-charts steam. It is also a book of awakenings — of inner power, love, and ultimately hope.
