LILAH

After a rocky divorce from an asshole I married when I was young and dumb, I somehow got the cockamamie idea to go on a solo camping trip to “find myself again.” Just saying that out loud now makes me realize how unhinged I was after getting out of my marriage. What twenty-seven-year-old woman with a lick of good sense goes hiking in the British Columbia mountains alone?

I was collecting berries when I came upon a badly injured fox. I didn’t stop and think about it biting me, or the possibility that whatever animal had attacked it might still be in the area and a danger to me. I’m a veterinary assistant, it’s second nature to help animals. So that’s what I did. Then the fox changed into a man, right in front of my eyes. 

Turns out, I didn’t save a fox, I saved a fox shifter. But he was still in rough shape, so I made sure he got home. One hell of a trek, but we made it to Fate’s Falls, where I was welcomed by the pack and everyone else in town. “Everyone else” mostly being monsters. All shapes, sizes, and types. But they’re all super nice, which is a lot more than I can say for most of the humans I knew, so I stayed. Got a job working for the local veterinarian, a demon with a hyper-sensitive sniffer and a mouth with zero filter.

Oh, then I walked into the local bakery and fell instantly in love with a towering, dark-red hell demon who makes the best scones on earth. Possibly in any realm. Now, if only he’d see me as more than his number-one customer…

A steamy, fated mates, cozy monster romance with a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
