Wounded Pride

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. Hisashi is slipping closer to the edge under the strain of the spirit world’s attention. And Oisin is still hiding things that may get them all killed.

The danger that’s been circling them all along finally sharpens into something unmistakable. Enemies move openly. Lines are drawn. And the fragile balance holding Gesa’s found family together begins to crack.

Because denying your feelings and your fears won’t make them disappear.

If Gesa doesn’t decide who she’s willing to fight for—and how far she’s willing to go—she may lose everything she’s been trying so hard not to want.

Wounded Pride is the fifth novella in the Gesa’s Menagerie series, a reverse harem paranormal romance featuring escalating stakes, deepening bonds, emotional vulnerability, and a powerful heroine learning that claiming her people may be the bravest thing she’s ever done.

Suitable for mature readers.
