The Griffin’s Mate by Zoe Chant

A curvy businesswoman who’s new in town + a lonely griffin shifter searching for someone to share his nest + a small town with a big secret = a hot and heartwarming story of love and family.

Lainie Eaves never wanted to return to Hideaway Cove, the small town where her own family rejected her years ago. When she inherits the family estate, she decides to sell the crumbling old mansion and leave her painful history where it belongs: in the past. Then she meets Harrison, and her world turns upside down.
Lonely griffin shifter Harrison Galway thought he’d found paradise when he moved to Hideaway Cove, where shifters can live without having to hide their true natures. But when his mate Lainie walks into his life, he discovers that paradise comes at a price too high to pay.

Fifteen years ago, Lainie’s grandparents made a choice that tore her family apart forever, but Lainie never knew the reason: that she wasn’t born a shifter. Now she’s finally found someone who might fill that hole in her heart—at the cost of everything else he holds dear. Hideaway Cove is a sanctuary for shifters, and that means no humans allowed.
Can Lainie let go of her painful memories, and make a fresh start? Or will Harrison be forced to leave the only place where he’s ever been welcome to live with the woman he loves?
