He will always wait for her... Denton fell for Cordelia before he knew how much loving her would hurt. Every time the traveling witch disappears through a portal into another realm, he never knows when or if she'll return. All the bear shifter can do is wait. On the sunrise of the spring equinox, Denton and his sister set up a magical altar, hoping to guide Cordelia home. But when the witch arrives, she has a new companion in tow and shadows in her eyes. As the holiday of Ostara unfolds, the bear shifter attempts to discover the root of Cordelia's pain, while hiding the depths of his love for her. Because on the day she inevitably leaves again, he only wants one heart to break.

Everyone needs to relax. Even mythical creatures. Moira MacNamara cannot stand Levi Abadi, and it has nothing to do with the fact that he's a literal monster. Who cares that the man can transform into a terrifying beast? The truly bothersome things are how he ambushes her in council meetings and wants to demolish her prime real estate on Lake Galen. Plus, there's the whole history of his father stealing a precious selkie pelt from her family. Moira will go so far as to enter a dangerous magical competition just to win an argument against the infuriating monster. The busybody selkie needs to get out of his way. Levi is barely months from the grand opening of his luxury spa, and he does not need literal duels happening on the vacant property next door. The stubborn selkie owner of the land knows just as well as he does that the ground is steeped in toxic magic, and bad things will continue to happen if no one clears out the evil vibes. Problem is, when Moira comes up with a plan, Levi somehow gets roped in as her assistant. Fine. As long as this means there's nothing bothering his future customers during their relaxation. On the pair's quest to cleanse the lakeside property, the two mythic enemies find themselves on common ground. Ground they lay down on, roll around on, and maybe lose a few pieces of clothing on. But secrets of the past and new dangers to the town of Folk Haven threaten a fragile romance between the selkie and the sea monster...

He doesn't believe in fate. She's fine with single life. The gods have other plans. Seamus MacNamara may be a mythical creature, but that doesn't mean he has to believe all those legends about selkies finding their fated mates. Specifically, that his mate will rescue him. Complete nonsense. If he is going to ask a woman out, he'll do it because he likes her personality, not because she saves his life. Problem is, the barista Seamus has tried his hardest to flirt with ends up giving him the Heimlich when a cookie goes down the wrong pipe. What would a siren want with a selkie, anyway? Neri Onassis may have thought Seamus was cute at first, but when he freaks out after her acting the badass hero, her tiny crush evaporates. Good thing, because she needs to put all her brain power toward figuring out her new life in Folk Haven, the mythic-filled town next to Lake Galen. After an awkward break up with both a man and her parents, Neri left her old life behind, determined to figure out what kind of person, and siren, she wants to be. An ungrateful selkie is only a distraction. But in a small town the two continue to cross paths, and Seamus finds himself giving in to the call of the siren's intelligence and humor. After a passionate encounter, the selkie wonders if the gods had the pairing right all along. But Seamus can't rely on fate when Neri refuses to even consider mating the man who ran from her in the first place.

He has one week to get over his crush. Problem is, there's only one bed. One innocent night can change the course of a life. Theo discovered this first hand when Olive Buchanan came into his world for less than 24 hours. Six years later, he still can't get past the memory of her. That's the only reason he's agreed to attend the Buchanan family's annual vacation; to prove that his best friend's younger sister is not the perfect woman his mind has made her out to be. He has one week to put aside this secret obsession and move on. A task that is suddenly difficult when he finds himself getting closer to her every night...

He's found his mate. She's just passing through. Can he convince her to stay? Delta Novac hates her house on Lake Galen. The old place in the small town of Folk Haven is a reminder of her father's mental decline in the last few years of his life. She's just come to town to clear the thing out and get it ready to sell. Delta never even planned to dip a toe in the water until a prone body floating has her diving in to save the swimmer. A selkie will know their mate when they are rescued. Calder MacNamara wasn't in need of saving, but he certainly appreciates the effort. Especially when the hands on his bare skin warm him to his core. The moment he meets the woman's piercing stare, his gut tells him she's his life partner. But he soon finds that if Delta feels anything toward him, it's annoyance. Accidentally insulting her dog doesn't help his case. With Delta's focus on the road out of town, Calder scrambles to discover what, if anything, could make her stay. He's willing to use all means of pleasure at his disposal to convince his mate that Folk Haven is the perfect place to call home. Especially if you're a mythical creature.

She's here to claim her mate. So, why is she looking at his best friend? Isla Brown saw the will of the Gods when they revealed her fated partner at the age of sixteen. But who needs to rush into a mating that young? Older now, Isla has returned to her childhood home on Lake Galen and is ready to build a life with her selkie mate. But she's having trouble concentrating on that goal with a certain human constantly staring at her. And making her laugh. And tempting her to stray from her fated path. The night he almost killed her, he discovered her secret. Finn Hammond knows Isla is a selkie. He also knows that he doesn't deserve her. Not after an almost fatal mistake he made years ago. But when they both find themselves at a lake side party, Finn can't help mooning over her the way he has since they were in highschool together. And when she offers him the opportunity to dive deep into a single night of passion, he can't find the will to walk away. But a new day brings honesty, and when secrets are revealed, both Isla and Finn must choose a different future.

Summer Pierce is determined to date only nice guys. Until... Her latest prospect reveals himself as an alpha jerk in decent clothing. Summer doubts her ability to distinguish good from bad.

Cole Allemand visits the library for the books, but he stays for the librarian. Summer is as bright and warm as her name, and luckily, she has a hero worship for authors.

Only, Cole finds he can't wait for the publishing world to give him his go ahead, especially when he knows his past may push Summer away. As the two form a bond outside of the library, Cole works to strengthen the connection with all the tools at his disposal, including serialized fantasy stories, adorable cats, and an in-depth understanding of the Dewey Decimal system. When a mysterious stalker threatens the librarian's safety, trust becomes the element that could turn their tale into a true romance or tear apart the fragile happy ending.
