Deerly Beloved and Other Tales from Green Valley by Elva Birch

What do you do when you meet your mate…and she’s married?!

Jaguar shifter Juan is prepared to turn around and leave the sleepy town of Green Valley forever when he finds out that his mate has a husband and an adorable kid, but fate is not so willing to give up on them. Deirdre is determined to keep her promises, but Dean only wants her to be happy…even if that’s not with him.
A heartfelt lovers-to-friends prequel to the Green Valley series is collected here with seven short stories following the adventures of Clara, Trevor, Aaron, and Abby, plus nine delicious recipes. Laugh and cry with the cute kids, adorable pets, and colorful characters from a small town with big shifter secrets.
