Lainie Eaves has no idea she's descended from shifters. She doesn't even know shifters exist because when she was born human, her grandparents made sure she would never learn the truth about her family. But now they're dead. And she's back in Hideaway Cove to deal with their crumbling old estate—and discover everything that was kept hidden from her. Hideaway Cove is the only safe haven griffin shifter Harrison Galway has ever known—a place where, as a shifter, he can live without hiding what he is. When gorgeous, curvy Lainie arrives in town, he knows at once that she's his fated mate.

I was matched once. An Alpha who promised me forever, who made me believe in all those things they say about true mates. And then I lost him. After that, I stopped dreaming. Stopped hoping. I told myself some bonds only come once in a lifetime… and mine was already gone. So when a surprise inheritance drags me from city life to a ranch in the middle of nowhere, I plan to keep things simple. Sign the papers. Sell the land. Drive away and forget this place ever existed. Then I meet them. Cash. Walker. Ridge. Three Alphas with stubborn streaks, patient smiles, and that maddening cowboy charm.

Four scent-matched alphas who also happened to be my brother's best friends? Check. Fate blessing me with the dreamiest, tastiest-smelling guys I've ever met? Check, check. Weller. Owen. Tristan. Freddie. I'd planned the perfect moment to reveal myself as their scent match, their missing puzzle piece. Everything was working out perfectly... until it fell apart with a bang. Graduation night was supposed to be the big moment. The night I finally came clean and admitted the truth: I was theirs, and they were mine. Turns out, the universe had other ideas.

Willa Maren has a bookstore café, two meddling sisters, a witchy mother who swears by candle spells… and a big problem: Tate Holloway is back in town. Her first love. Her heartbreak. The boy next door, who left, is now back, looking entirely too hot in flannel. The whole town is matchmaking, her sisters are firmly on Team Tate, and even their mother, Lilith Maren, seems to stir up a love spell or two. But this time, Willa's determined to protect her heart, even if it takes every ounce of magic she's got.

Moving to Wyoming wasn't part of my five-year plan. Of course, neither was finding out my husband had a mistress. Or becoming a widow before the divorce was finalized. Really, nothing in the last six months has been anything less than a mess. Desperate for a fresh start, I pack up my life and move to the one place I've ever felt myself: Creek Falls. And it works, too, when I manage the statistically impossible feat of finding my scent matches.

Newly divorced and armed with nothing but grit, strong coffee, and a Pinterest board full of impossible dreams, my plans to renovate a crumbling seaside lodge are jeopardized by the town's grumpiest, greenest contractor. Gerralt Banesman is big, broody, and allergic to conversation. I'm sunshine, sass, and a walking chaos magnet. Our first meeting ended with spilled wood stain, sharp words, and one very offended orc.

Jacqueline thought she already had her happy-ever-after—until her husband left her for a woman who could give him a child (and already had). Now she's divorced and working herself to the bone to pay off the mortgage on a house that will never be full of the children she dreamed of. Jacqueline doesn't know what to expect when she responds to an emergency call-out during a storm, but it's nothing like this: three lost children who can turn into seals, and a ruggedly handsome man who makes her blood run hotter than it ever has before.

Kind, wonderful, big-hearted Liesel married her prince, and…no, they didn't live happily ever after. Well, not until there was magic. I am Seraphina Vine, the fairy godmother of Everwood. I bring lost souls and broken hearts together. So, I wave my magic wand and tell you the story of a little match girl who brought light into the life of a reluctant prince.

When my mother sets me up on yet another blind date with a pack, I never expected to open the door to them. Now here they are, three men from my past I never wanted to see again, challenging me not to turn them away and starting a not-so-innocent game of truth or dare. When a storm throws us all together with no escape, I realize that they aren't at all like the boys I remember. They've changed in so many ways, and so have I.

Posy is brand new to Fairhaven Falls, but she's determined to find her place in the charming small town—even if it means participating in an unusual bachelor auction. But she certainly doesn't expect to end up bidding on the mysterious orc whom everyone seems to avoid.

Stranded together in a snowstorm, a take-charge alpha and a tough-minded midwife will either work out their differences in a steamy collision or blow up both their worlds!

Of all the ways Daisy would have wanted to wake up in a stranger's bed, having that stranger staring at her from a foot away was not one of them. She cried out and flung herself backward, nearly falling off the bed in the process. It was some small comfort that he did the same thing, slamming into the wall. Now, at a more comfortable remove of ten feet or so, they stared at each other. Goodness, he's huge. He was well over six feet, with tremendously broad and well-muscled shoulders, and was he wearing a vest made out of an animal skin?

Corin Blackburn knew single mother Maya Flores was his fated mate from the first time he saw her. But he always told himself she was safer away from him and his dangerous magic. And there was no place for him in her little family. Now, fate has brought them together again—along with her rambunctious baby dragon shifter, a town full of quirky shifters, and his own interfering relatives. He's only here to find out who stole his treasure. But the moment he sees Maya again, he knows the true treasure is the woman he let go without ever telling her what she meant to him.

Working with kids is totally my jam, and I'm damn good at what I do. Just call me Maxy Frickin' Poppins! When a new job prospect comes my way, I'm intrigued. A chance to move to Mystic Hollow (aka Monsters Hollow) to be a well-paid manny for two adorable orclings? Talk about a dream position. Sold! But when I lock eyes with the seriously sexy orc who's their guardian—and my new de facto boss—for the first time, I'm a goner. Big, muscular, and green all over–he's giving me full-on Hulk meets stern professor vibes—and I like it.

When curvy witch Romi Weir buys the beloved Witch's Brew Café in her enchanted hometown of Mystic Hollow, she's ready to whip up some magic and mend the rift between witches and shifters. What she doesn't expect is a side order of sabotage—or a cool, mouth-watering wolf shifter whose protective nature has Romi weak at the knees!

When witchy candle-maker Clover Bishop agrees to help create a line of enchanted scents for Rook Katz's luxury spa, she expects a business deal—not a smoldering attraction that threatens to burn right through her carefully guarded heart. Clover isn't ready to throw herself into fate's hands, but resisting a possessive, swoon-worthy tiger shifter who looks at her like she's his forever? That's a whole different kind of magic.

In the mid-nineteenth century, Ciarán McCrohan moves to the small remote island of Inishean to take over the position of lighthouse keeper. But there is one catch: he needs a wife. On the edge of Europe, shielded from the potato blight and ensuing famine that rages in Ireland, two young people find refuge both in their small community and in each other. Almost two centuries later, Josh O’Brien’s happy life in Ireland is threatened, despite the efforts of his new family. But there is someone who will stand above the others to secure his future.

When Pippa finds herself in Fairhaven Falls with empty pockets and a brand new baby, she's thrilled when a sweet—and slightly scary—old lady offers her a job and a place to live. Their new home isn't much, but it offers a desperately needed shelter. Then, her grumpy orc neighbor comes charging into their lives. She should be wary of the huge male, but when she watches him handling his hammer, fear is the last thing she feels. And when he cradles her daughter so tenderly against that big muscular chest? Her heart isn't the only thing melting!
