Gryphon's Pride

Gesa Lionheart was raised to be loyal, obedient, and useful to her gryphon clan.

She failed spectacularly.

After her family chooses tradition and bloodlines over her safety, Gesa does the only thing she's good at—she breaks things and walks away. Away from her clan. From their expectations. From a future where her only worth is her contribution to the family line.

She ends up in a blip of a town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where she puts her brute strength and anger to good use as a paranormal bounty hunter, cleaning up the supernatural messes the human police can't see. The job is annoying, underpaid, and occasionally ridiculous—but it's freedom.

Gesa expects to just scrape by on her own. She expects annoying low-level creeps.
What she doesn't expect is a beautiful, deadly fae male, a missing person's case that's anything but simple, and the slow realization that she doesn't actually have to do everything alone.

As a powerful enemy hides behind wealth and public image, secrets surface and lines blur. Gesa finds herself surrounded by outsiders and misfits who don't ask her to be smaller, softer, or more convenient. They just ask her to be herself.

Gryphon's Pride is the first novella in the Gesa's Menagerie series—a reverse harem paranormal romance featuring a big, tough, sarcastic heroine, found family, on-page heat, and a heroine who chooses her own pack.

Suitable for mature readers.
