About Never Pick Up a Stray Shifter

Grace rescued three fox shifters, only to discover they were using her to reach her spoiled sister. So she trades all three for Elias, a supposedly frigid serpent shifter who burns only for her. Forced into a deadly marriage by her family, Grace plots to fake her death, reclaim her future, and escape across the galaxy.
