She's agreed to give him her kidney, but he wants her heart.
Ben Gerhard lives his days reliant on a machine to keep him alive. His kidney failure has progressed rapidly, and none of his family or friends are matches to donate. Then relief comes in the form of Holly Foster. She's bossy, adorable, and willing to undergo surgery to save Ben. Problem is, the more time he spends around her, the more he wants her to see him as a something other than the sick guy she's agreed to help. Holly gets Ben to share hidden parts of himself, all the while keeping him at a distance.
Holly cannot be attracted to Ben Gerhard. That's what she tells herself repeatedly even as his charming smile, constant jokes, and soothing presence entice her to let her guard down. But anything other than a friendly relationship would put the kidney exchange at risk, and there is nothing in the world Holly wants more than to save her brother. They've been burned in the past, and this time needs to go smoothly. Problem is, Holly is finding that the guy whose life she's agreed to save is becoming an integral part of her own.
If she's not careful, he'll take more than she's willing to give ...

A Selkie's Secret

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.

Seduced by a Selkie

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.

Sucker for a Siren

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...
