Description

Gesa Lionheart does not have a pride.

She has a fae lover with too many secrets, a human who somehow holds them all together, and a growing habit of rescuing lost, dangerous, or unwanted paranormals who have nowhere else to turn. That does not mean she's building a harem. Gryphon prides are for males of the species—and besides, Gesa refuses to become anything like the clan she walked away from.

Unfortunately, the universe doesn't seem to care.

When a fortune-telling fox desperate to escape a dangerous future and a captive sea-dweller whose voice has been stolen come to Gesa for help, she does what she always does: she steps in. Because loyalty is carved into her bones, even when she pretends otherwise.

As new allies are drawn into her orbit, the danger she's been avoiding edges closer. Oisin grows increasingly determined to face looming threats alone, convinced that sacrificing himself is the only way to protect the people he loves. Between a manipulative politician with hidden motives, unfinished business from Gesa's past, and the unsettling sense that someone is watching their every move, it becomes clear that standing alone is no longer an option.

Whether Gesa admits it or not, she's already chosen her people.

And surviving what's coming may take an entire pride.

With Pride is the third novella in the Gesa's Menagerie series, a reverse harem paranormal romance featuring found family, gradual relationship expansion, rising heat, and a stubborn heroine learning that choosing others doesn't mean losing herself.

Suitable for mature readers.
