The Rake OR The Orca Who Met His Match in a Selkie Desiring Revenge: A Cozy, Spicy Gaslamp Monster Romance (Shades of Sanctuary), O'Shire
It only takes a taste...
Lost in strange waters after a narrow escape from captivity, Elspeth the selkie is determined to find and free her brother. When she runs into an orca-shifter who mistakes her for lunch, one drop of his blood on her pelt binds her to him... forever.
Aegir is a notoriously talented shifter, playing pirates and playboys wherever his covert operations--or many lovers--take him. But when the selkie he rescued vanishes, he's plagued by memories of her... and a letter that spells out her doom. As they come together to rescue Elspeth's brother, both must navigate their traumas, a bond neither wanted, and growing feelings for each other. Can Elspeth learn to trust someone who wears a different face every day?
Kass O'Shire returns with more of your favorite cozy, spicy, monster romantasy and this time its a swashbuckling adventure that flips the traditional selkie tale on its head. As an interconnected standalone, it's the perfect place to dip your toes into the word of the Shades of Sanctuary, where the vibes are cozy, the heat is high, and the mates are monstrous. Grab your favorite drink, a cozy blanket, and preorder The Rake, Or The Orca Who Met His Match in a Selkie Desiring Revenge today!

I read this book a long time ago and considered it one of my favorites. I was surprised to see it on the syndicate’s shelves! 10/10
I bought this over a month ago and it’s still going strong.
I hate Ophelia because Blackwell should be with me 🥲
10/10 recommend!! Smut syndicate puts so much thought and love into their blind dates. So much that they reach out and look at your fable or good reads and really try to perfect your date. I look forward to this every single month
Perfect for bringing my book to the beach!!!
Read this in a day! Could not recommend enough. My favorite is there are sprinkles of little mermaid throughout, but other than that this is a story you would NEVER expect

I sent a blind date with a book to a friend and she loved it! Ordering was super easy and shipped so so fast. Highly recommend 💜
My blind date with a book was everything I hoped for and more! Unwrapping it felt like opening a gift from a friend who really gets me. The book I received was in my TBR for months! The story made me laugh, cry, and stay up way too late, but I have zero regrets. It’s the kind of date you want to tell everyone about—and I already can’t wait for the next one!
