Gesa's Menagerie

She left her clan with nothing. Now she's building a family out of misfits, monsters… and weirdos who refuse to leave. Gesa Lionheart was raised to be loyal, useful, and obedient to her gryphon clan. When they choose bloodlines over her safety, she does what she does best—breaks things and walks away. Now she's in a strange little town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, working as a paranormal bounty hunter for a police force that prefers not to know what goes bump in the night. The job is messy, underpaid, and occasionally ridiculous—but it's freedom.

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.

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.

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.

Gryphon shifter Gesa Lionheart’s life is getting more complicated by the minute. She left her clan so she could escape their mind games, but here she is, pulled right back into the thick of it. It seems like saving her sister from the loony bin and ruining her mother’s political machinations would be enough to deal with, but no. Her snarky little fae is hiding something dangerous, her fox is about to lose his mind, her human might not be as human as he seems, and somehow, they’ve ended up with a strange squatter in their bookstore.

When her sister’s illness is used as bait, Gesa is forced to return to the clan she walked away from—along with the pride she insists she doesn’t have. What should have been a tense reunion quickly turns into chaos, complete with an asylum breakout, assassins in pursuit, and the unsettling realization that someone wants someone in Gesa’s orbit dead. The problem is, there are far too many candidates. Escaping clan lands doesn’t bring relief. Secrets keep coming to light, and the fragile balance within her growing pride begins to strain.

Gesa Lionheart is running out of ways to pretend she doesn’t have a pride. Her gryphon instincts are demanding she claim the people who’ve chosen her—proudly, unmistakably, and permanently. Unfortunately, instincts don’t care about fear, trauma, or the very real possibility that loving this many people means having far too much to lose. While Gesa struggles under the weight of feelings she’d rather punch than examine, everything else starts to unravel. Unwanted guests refuse to leave her bookstore home.

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. Gesa and her pride are about to travel into fae territory to take back what was stolen from them and stop a deadly ritual. But they might already be too late.

The final trilogy of the bestselling Gesa’s Menagerie series. After everything they’ve survived —betrayal, fae politics, family secrets, and the dangerous magic that keeps trying to tear them apart —Gesa Lionheart should finally have the peace she fought so hard to build. Instead, the world decides to throw one last catastrophe at her pride. When Kai’s search for her long-lost family leads straight into the hands of deadly sirens, Gesa and her chaotic, stubborn, utterly devoted pride are forced into the most dangerous fight of their lives.

Gesa got her mate back. Surviving the fae lands and tearing Oisin free from his father should have been a victory—but Oisin didn't return whole. His memories are fractured, his sense of self unraveling, and the love he once felt for his pride is buried beneath fear and confusion. Gesa knows him. She loves him. But now she has to find a way to reach a man who no longer remembers why he chose her. And Oisin isn't the only one breaking.

Just when Gesa thought her pride was finally complete, it starts coming apart. Halstad vanishes in the middle of the night, and the mage guild insists they know nothing about it. The problem? Gesa’s gryphon instincts are screaming that it’s a lie. Halstad didn’t leave by choice—and whatever the guild is hiding, it’s bigger than one missing mage. Tracking him down won’t be easy. The guild has cut Gesa off completely, refusing to sell mage contracts to anyone connected to Derek White. Even if she finds Halstad, keeping him may be impossible.
