The Goblin's Valentine

In nature, goblins are prey, and the strix are predators.

Dither the goblin loves mud, stealing, and all things shiny. For years, she's yearned for the touch of the handsome avian professor at work. Every time she gets too close, he pushes her away.

Aldonas the strix thought he'd tamed the monster within. Until Dither scurries across his path: then his feathers darken, his talons sharpen, and his pulse quickens with instinctual bloodlust.

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and Dither has a sacred duty this year: to arrange a true love match. When the committee forbids the use of love potions, Dither is left desperate to find someone willing to participate in her magical ritual and get bonded to a mate forever.

So when Aldonas is the only one who volunteers to be paired up, Dither must decide whether honoring her faith is worth abandoning her heart.
