LukeA Small Town Paranormal Romance

Inga Nilsson needs a change.

And a break. With both her brothers married and moved out, it's just Inga and her dad in the small fishing town where she's lived all her life. Cooking and cleaning for a household of two isn't her idea of a good time, especially since she's dated all of the town's eligible bachelors her own age. What's she gonna do, find her fated mate washed up onshore?

So she takes the rickety old boat that she and her brothers call the Dingboat up the coast for a while. Maybe she'll find what she's looking for. At the moment, her biggest problem is getting rid of the flock of trash griffins - half seagull, half possum - that have decided to follow her.

Until a storm sets in.

Luke just needs to survive.

The wounded military veteran has been all about survival for a while. But never in quite such a dire way as this, lost and adrift in a stormy sea. The last thing he expects is to be pulled out of the water by a blonde Viking goddess.

Who is also a bear shifter. And his fated mate.

But Luke has nothing to offer her except lies, the remnants of his broken bear, and a shattered past he only half remembers. The one thing he knows for sure is that something is seriously wrong with him, and it could threaten Inga, the town she loves, and everything she holds dear.

Their solution: she'll hide him at the old fishing shack her family owns.

Inga thinks they're staying here until he recovers his strength. Luke knows he can't possibly stay, and for her sake and his, he has to leave at the first opportunity. But it turns out that playing at keeping house can easily become the real thing -- at least until Luke's deadly past comes calling for both of them.

A small-town cozy paranormal romance, with a bear shifter vet hero, a tough and strong-willed heroine, and a magical coastal fishing town where the wounded seek sanctuary, and dreams can come true.
