Forbidden Griffin

Zoe Chant, Lauren Esker

I found my fated mate in the human world, but my curse means I can never touch him. 
 
 
 
Cela: Raised in an isolated shifter clan, I never realized I had a true mate somewhere in the world—until my clan-chosen mate rejected me and threw me out with two young children. Now I'm working in a small-town coffee shop, learning about human inventions like buses and microwaves (and my new favorite thing, hot chocolate). 
 
 
 
And I met my fated mate. He's kind. He's protective. He's great with my little kids. There's just one problem: the first time I touched him, my exile mark felt like it was on fire—and not in the good way. 
 
 
 
Tyr: As an exile from Griffin Island, I never thought I had a fated mate. Then I met her, a fellow exile. And because of our clan's magic, we can never touch. Now I'm showing her how to get along in the human world, introducing her to my favorite things, and helping her care for her twins. 
 
 
 
But if I can't touch her soon, it's going to drive me mad. 
 
 
 
I can't touch her and can't live without her. 
 
 
 
I'm going to fix this for her . . . even if it means going back to the clan that exiled us both.
