A burnt-out bookseller.

A lovesick orc.

Is fate enough to keep them together?

In Claw Haven, Alaska, monsters are real - but what about fated mates?

Vi Harper is good at many things and great at pretending she's got her life figured out. Truth is, she's a hot mess - especially when cocky, gorgeous orc Nick Wicker goads her in his infuriating way.

Nick has found his mate. That's the good news. The bad: he's already blown it. Every time Nick speaks to soft-spoken, overworked bookseller Vi, she seems to hate him even more. What's a lovestruck orc to do but stress-bake and look for ways to redeem himself?

Then a batch of apology brownies sparks one passionate night together and suddenly, sensible Vi is offering her one-time enemy a friends-with-benefits arrangement. It's more than Nick dreamed - but it's not enough.

Now he has to find a way to show her that sometimes, fate gets it exactly right…

As a small business, we believe it is our responsibility to always have sustainability in mind.

The joy of being small is that every decision is our own to make - what materials go into our products, what packaging we choose, what businesses we buy from and who we choose to stock.

We can’t afford a lot of the volume discounts that mean these choices don’t impact us financially, but this is part of why we price ourselves the way we do, as it’s the right thing to do.
