Here's "Clutch" by Virginia Kelly and Piper Scott. This is the first novel their Forbidden Desires series.
["Bookish, snarky, and fiercely independent Nate Boudreaux leads a solitary life. Between teaching classes at the university and working toward his PhD, he doesn’t need a partner to occupy his time, and he certainly doesn’t need a man like Alistair Drake complicating his future.
Alistair Drake, black sheep of the tremendously wealthy Drake family, is more interested in adding another notch to his bedpost than another zero to his bank account. When a Grindr message brings him to Nate’s doorstep, then straight to his bed, he has no reason to believe that what they share will be more than a simple hookup, until, three months later, a tug on his soul informs him otherwise.
For the Drake family has a secret—one that will force Nate and Alistair together as much as it will demand that they be torn apart. One that Alistair and his brothers have carried all their lives… and one that Alistair and Nate’s future children will carry, too.
Bound to each other by the three precious impossibilities, Nate and Alistair have no choice—no matter the consequence, they will fight for their forbidden clutch."]
I need something a little less trauma-y and a little less gives-my-depression-a-downward-spiral-y. Not to mention that fated mates and shifters are always a nice bandage. ;)
Some thoughts as they came: Good chemistry, though they bicker a lot; could turn into something more flirty and fun. Could have broken down the doors before the eggs came. Gotta love a BFF that's willing to go all Tangled up on a bitch. Everard is not making a good first impression, though love his nicknames. Maybe Nat and Alistair do need hit over the head with a step-by-step how to conversation. Alistair is a conundrum of knowledge, sometimes a genius and sometimes Amelia Bedelia. Alistair had some pretty damn good nicknames, too. Oh, Harry. Shit isn’t even close to hitting the fan yet, but the council can go eat dirt. Did I mention Nate’s nicknames? I’m not sure we’ve yet met a Drake I do like. Bronze bastards. Okay Ev isn’t horrible, or any of the brothers. Babies!!! I hope Harry’s book (with Everard, duh) is next.
