Helena de Narbon is twenty-seven, seventy-five percent human, twenty-five percent fairy, and an overachieving intellectual wound tight with anxiety.
She has already given up on working with magical creatures when a former mentor invites her to join an owl-bear study at a remote mountain research site.
Kindhearted researcher Bertram, half orc and half vampire, arrives hoping to work beside his famous scientist mother, only to find that her newest PhD student is the ex-girlfriend who broke his heart.
He intends to keep his distance, yet the pair is assigned to raise an orphaned baby owl-bear whose rough, dangerous play keeps throwing them together.
In this spicy cozy romantasy, a contemporary retelling of Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well, the feelings resurfacing between Bertram and Helena may prove as hazardous as their cub-chick.
