The Right to Bear Claws

Kaia Monroe had two rules: never trust a fae, and never fall asleep near cursed lakes.
She broke both by accident.
Now she’s stuck in a cozy Appalachian town full of shapeshifters, witches, and suspiciously nice baked goods—and worst of all, she’s mated to a grumpy bear shifter who insists on protecting her from her nightmares. Literally. With claws. And maybe feelings.
Elias Vane didn’t ask for a mate to fall out of the sky. But the moment he fished her out of Moonmirror Lake, his bear called dibs. Now he’s rearranging patrols, dodging fae wedding planners, and trying not to scare the woman who smells like forever.
Unfortunately, Kaia’s childhood trauma summoned a nightmare warlock from the dream realm… and he wants her back.
Permanently.
She’ll have to choose: run from the people who care about her—or trust a sleepy mountain town (and one dangerously hot shifter) to fight for the dream of something real.
He brought her blankets. And snacks. And eternal soul-bonding.
