Kinship Cove loves a good story—especially a fairy tale retelling—which is why their library is a popular place to be. Welcome to the Kinship Cove library where the local librarian is about to find a happily ever after in the stacks. *** As the local house cat shifter, I have three things I adore about my little Kinship Cove life—working at the town library, listening to podcasts about true crime, and dipping into a little catnip on a Friday night. So, imagine my dismay when a man with predator energy and hair the color of a sky on fire comes strolling into my research section and comments on my Dewey decimal system. But when his eyes meet mine and the string of destiny tugs us together, I know this is my fated mate. There are just a couple of problems. He’s far too big and dangerous for a little house cat like me. Too predatory for my level of prey. He’s also completely obsessed with me. What’s it going to take for an introvert like me to tame such a beast? And what will I do if I find out that taming him isn’t a possibility? *** BIBLIOPHILE AND THE BEAST is a paranormal romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Ellis Leigh. The story is a standalone PNR rom-com with wit, snark, shifters, and more than just flirting.
