Not your typical reverse harem…

Gryphon shifter Gesa Lionheart isn't your typical heroine. Screwed over by her family—a stunningly medieval gryphon clan that is supposed to value loyalty and truth—the former bodyguard sets out on her own to a remote city growing in the Michigan wilderness. With little in the way of life skills outside her clan training, and no one to depend on, she becomes a bounty hunter—chasing down low-level supernatural criminals for the local human police department.

Gesa knew life would be hard outside the clan, but she had no way of predicting just how strange her life would become, all thanks to a beautiful but dangerous male fae and a simple missing person's case. Now she's over her head in a world that isn't what it seems, where humans can almost see the truth, rich supe philanthropists make people disappear with ease, and harem lion prides aren't just for males….

Gryphon's Pride is a reverse harem romance novella with an urban fantasy feel. Suitable for mature readers (and those with a sense of humor) only. If swearing, sex, or talk of past trauma are offensive to you, this might not be your thing.

Author's Note:

I was tired of reading the same old thing over and over again in reverse harem. Sick of all alpha male and fainting female all the time—and desperate to be able to tell the male characters apart—I tried to infuse some variety into my story. Gesa might not be your cup of tea, and that's okay—she doesn't care. Her lovers are as varied in physicality and personality as they are in supernatural race. And the characters all have their own definition of sexuality. I know reverse harem is all about the fantasy, and my fantasy is a bit outside the norm. You've been warned. 

*This is a series. There will be unresolved plot threads at times/ occasional cliff hangers.

*Do NOT read this series if you are easily offended. Contains: mentions of past trauma/rape, adult language (that's cursing kids, lots of it), and sexual content (including male/female, male/male, female/female, male/male/female, female/female/male and any other combination you can think of. Oh, and probably some tentacles and diphallia).

Gesa's Menagerie

Gryphon's Pride

When Gesa escaped her oppressive clan to become a bounty hunter in a growing backwater city, she never imagined she would end up dating a fae. She might try her best to deny Oisin’s jokes about her starting a pride—a harem reserved for male gryphons—but Gesa is growing dangerously fond of their roommate and secretary, the unassuming human, Con.

But romantic issues are the least of Gesa’s worries. Her ancient, deadly fae lover is hiding something. And a spate of animal killings leads the amateur detectives right to a murderer who hides in the open, sure of his supremacy over those he hunts. When Gesa and Oisin are wounded and nearly killed, Con has no choice to take matters into his own hands to protect the pride, putting the breakable—and idiotically reckless—human right in the way of a killer.

Heart of the Pride

Gesa does not have a pride. Only male gryphons need a whole harem of lovers to stroke their egos. But when a fortune-telling fox from the county fair and a captive mute sea-dweller turn to Gesa for help, she can’t turn them away. Sometimes being a creature of valor and loyalty is a pain in the ass.

Meanwhile, Gesa’s stubborn fae lover, Oisin, is on edge. Danger is creeping nearer, and he is determined to face it alone, as he always has—even if it destroys him. Add in a controlling politician of unknown origin, the building family drama Gesa is determined to ignore back in the clan lands, and some time spent tracking down imps.

Maybe it will take an entire pride to survive this after all.

With Pride

Family reunions suck.

When the thing that birthed her drags Gesa back to the gryphon clan using her sister’s illness as bait, Gesa and her harem find themselves breaking out of an asylum and fleeing assassins—without really knowing who the creeps are even targeting. After all, there are so many options to choose from on the list of people who want Gesa or her lovers dead.

But the trouble doesn’t stop when she leaves clan lands. Oisin’s been hiding someone, and Gesa doesn’t like unexpected visitors. Meanwhile, Hisashi is struggling with unwanted messages from the spirit world, and Kaimana might not be what she seems.

And people wonder why Gesa doesn’t want to deal with a pride.

Pride Before the Fall

So many lovers, so little...sanity.

Gesa is dealing with a sickening overabundance of FEELINGS. No matter how she might resist it, her gryphon side insists she claim her pride--as if she were a damned alpha lion. 

But she has other priorities. Like getting rid of the squatters in her bookstore home, keeping Hisashi from going insane...and what the hell is up with Oisin? Danger is looming, and the pride might not make it out intact.

Wounded Pride

A member of the pride is lost. Gesa and her remaining lovers are barely holding it together. And the damned demon wants to give cooking lessons.

Pride and Perdition

Gesa and her pride have managed to survive the fae lands and take back their mate from his psychotic father. But Oisin is broken, unable to recall much of his previous life—including the reasons he fell in love with a big, brash gryphon or a young, unstable fox.

Meanwhile, Hisashi’s display of power in the fae lands has only increased the growth of his dangerous, uncontrollable spirit powers. He needs an anchor. And that might mean tying himself to the family shrine for the rest of his long life.

Oh yeah, and then there’s the matter of the gruff, asshole mage who is about to be forcibly returned to the guild for redistribution—and he doesn’t take well to the idea of Gesa buying him.
