First Mine Then Yours: Large Print Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233885730)

She's a scholar of defiance. He's a mechanic who likes his life quiet. But destiny doesn't care about a quiet life... and neither does her inner wolf.

Merit is used to finding her answers in books. As a PhD student researching 19th-century women who broke the rules, she's returning to the misty, small town of Moonglen to find the missing pieces of her own past. She wants a peaceful cottage, a finished thesis, and to finally feel like she belongs.

She didn't expect to run into a wall of muscle, grease, and grumpiness named River.

River is a man of few words and even fewer friends. He likes his garage, his routines, and his solitude. But the moment Merit walks into his life, his wolf recognises her. She is his mate. The catch? She has no idea she's a shifter, and her transformation is being triggered by the one thing she isn't ready for: him.

As Merit's world turns upside down, she's forced to navigate a late-in-life awakening that is anything but academic. River is determined to protect her, but Merit has spent too long studying fierce women to let a "fated bond" dictate her life.
In a world of ancient instincts and modern choices, can a grumpy mechanic and a defiant scholar find a middle ground? Or will the secret River is keeping tear their bond apart before it truly begins?

If you love cozy small-town vibes, "he falls first" energy, and a heroine who demands her own agency, you'll fall in love with First Mine, Then Yours.
