Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?

A tender MMM paranormal where a fierce rhino shifter Daddy protects his two Little mates from dark forces -- equal parts cozy age play sweetness and nail-biting paranormal suspense.

Synopsis

Fate blesses Arlo, a rhino shifter Daddy, with two Little mates, except dark forces are working against them. Can they unravel the mysteries before death comes calling and snatches away what holds Arlo’s heart—an oxpecker and a meerkat? Arlo has nothing in his life except the work he trains for—an enforcer for the crash. Then, while meeting with the computer decoder, Taggart, Arlo's senses go wild. He can’t believe his luck in finding his mate. Except in Arlo’s life, nothing is ever that easy. Driving over to meet with Taggart, he comes across a man, Soren, on the side of the road with a flat tire, and with it comes the realization he potentially has two mates. As Arlo walks a fine line navigating his new reality—claiming his mates—life spirals out of control when something evil invades their home. Now the race is on to find out how it all connects to the corrupt council members and their experiments before more shifters find themselves in harm's way. Time is ticking! His Littles to Love, book four in Little Paws Haven, is a journey of discovery for all of them. But a little oxpecker learns even the smallest will be brave to defend love. And a little meerkat comes to understand he doesn’t always need to shoulder the heavy burden alone when his mates will do it for him. There is an overarching storyline that remains unresolved, but don’t worry, our boys find their HEA.
