The Rake, or the Orca Who Met His Match in a Selkie Desiring Revenge

It only takes a taste… Lost in strange waters after a narrow escape from captivity, Elspeth the selkie is determined to find and free her brother. When she runs into an orca-shifter who mistakes her for lunch, one drop of his blood on her pelt binds her to him… forever. Aegir is a notoriously talented shifter, playing pirates and playboys wherever his covert operations—or many lovers—take him. But when the selkie he rescued vanishes, he's plagued by memories of her… and a letter that spells out her doom. As they come together to rescue Elspeth's brother, both must navigate their traumas, a bond neither wanted, and growing feelings for each other. Can Elspeth learn to trust someone who wears a different face every day? Kass O'Shire returns with more of your favorite cozy, spicy, monster romantasy, and this time it's a swashbuckling adventure that flips the traditional selkie tale on its head. As an interconnected standalone, it's the perfect place to dip your toes into the world of the Shades of Sanctuary, where the vibes are cozy, the heat is high, and the mates are monstrous.
