The Claiming of the Shrew

Fated Mountain Lodge #4 / 4
by Lauren Esker
The Claiming of the Shrew (Fated Mountain Lodge #4) by Lauren Esker
Unrated

No one ever says "You can't do that" to this sassy shrew.

Well, people do say it, but that doesn't mean Leah has to listen. Hampered by a tiny shift form, a physical disability, and an overprotective big sister, Leah is determined to make the world listen to her.

After all, a shrew will fight animals ten times its size and eats its own body weight in food daily. What else can she do except live up to the example of her tough, fighty, hard-living shift form, after all?

So when the lodge wants her to investigate a rash of thefts from guest rooms, Leah is happy to jump on the job with all four paws.

But "Detective Shrew's" investigation will introduce her to an enigmatic stranger who can parry her verbal jabs and keep up with her energy ... a stranger who is very clearly hiding secrets of his own.

A stranger who makes her shrew stand up and scream, "Mine!"

Return to Fated Mountain Lodge for a hilarious, cozy small-town fated mates romance, with a heroine who can barely contain her outsized personality and a hero with his own reasons for being at the lodge - that have nothing to do with meeting a fated mate who is a shrew on a mission.
