When my producer said “take a break by the seaside,” I didn’t realize she meant with a camera crew and my entire career on the line.

Starling Grove is supposed to be charming—picture-perfect cottages, friendly locals, and all the small-town magic you’d expect. Instead, I’ve got a temperamental camera, a looming deadline, and two brand-new crew members who are way too competent (and way too distracting) for their own good.

And then there’s him—the infuriatingly helpful alpha who insists on making sure I eat, sleep, and don’t work myself to death. Plus, he’s entirely unavoidable as my local liaison.

This small town was supposed to be my last chance to prove I can still do this. But between the late-night editing sessions, the laughter that sneaks in when I least expect it, the scent of a slowly forming pack, and the chemistry sparking hotter every day, I’m starting to wonder if Starling Grove isn’t just where my story ends… but where it really begins.

This standalone cozy-and-steamy omegaverse romance is full of slow-burning tension, found family, and sizzling chemistry that will leave you breathless.
