Now that she is a widow, she is content to remain one. However, her husband's uncle, the new Laird of Sinclair Clan has arranged for her to marry a man of his choice.

"Love and hunger are not the same.
Six years ago, on a remote Scottish island, a mysterious woman saved Sister Madeleine Laurent from drowning. Now, after leaving her convent, Madeleine crosses the ocean again to find the rescuer who changed her life. Instead, her search is disrupted by Hæra North, a brazen, provocative local who stirs Madeleine's repressed desires—and keeps a secret out of legend.
Hæra has one dream: to become the first female Stormhorse, a powerful leader in her clan of fearsome ocean horse spirits. To do so, she must capture, drown, and eat a worthy human. When she first saw Madeleine, she knew she'd found the one. So why did Hæra save her instead?
Now Madeleine's back. All Hæra has to do is remain in human form, earn her woman's trust, then devour her.
But Madeleine is awakening another kind of appetite . . .
The Woman from the Waves is an epic lesbian romantasy about the power of unleashed desire, the courage it takes to change, and a love so vast it spans the sea, earth, and sky.

"She's supposed to find him the perfect match. Falling for him herself was not part of the deal.
Mallory has zero magic. No spells, no shape-shifting, and no flashy Preternatural strength. But in the magical city of Coldstream, Mallory has made knowledge her power and she turns secrets and favors into currency.
Enter Alexander MacTire: alpha werewolf, wealthy businessman, and walking temptation. He wants Mallory to find him a mate. She wants absolutely nothing to do with him.
But MacTire isn't used to hearing no—and Mallory's not immune to his charm, no matter how hard she tries.
