Big Papa by Dex Haven

A cursed witch.
A scarred wolf.
And a prairie dog with a British accent.

I never imagined my life would unravel with one confession. My mother’s dying words left me running from a curse, a coven, and a past I didn’t understand. All she’d left me was a bakery in Texas wolf pack territory, a grimoire I didn’t know how to open, and a familiar who wore glasses and sounded like he should be doing Shakespeare in the Park (if they allowed tiny prairie dogs in little waistcoats to perform that is)..

Then Big Papa walked through my door.

Massive. Scarred. Dangerous. His wolf recognized me instantly as his mate. His touch lit a fire in me I couldn’t explain, awakening a magic I thought I’d never have. I should have run from him—wolves and witches weren’t meant to mix. But every time he looked at me, I felt claimed. Desired. His scars, those marks of honor and pain, told stories I could only imagine, and yet they only made him more beautiful to me.

I gave him my body, my trust, my heart. And he gave me everything in return.

But the shadows wanted more. My mother’s coven was still hunting me. The grimoire pulsed with secrets I didn’t know how to wield. And when they came for Papa, bleeding and bound, I had only one choice: trade my mate for their darkness…
or unleash the dangerous power that my unknown father had imparted that had been sleeping in my blood all along.

BIG PAPA is a fated mates, scarred-hero, witch-meets-wolf shifter romance with high heat, high stakes, and one very dapper prairie dog familiar.

Reader note: Contains graphic intimacy and themes of survival. There is a triumph-centered resolution and a guaranteed HEA. I don’t believe in giving away the journey before it begins, but I believe in honoring your peace. If you know certain topics are hard for you, I encourage you to trust your instincts and read with care. Trigger warnings are included at the start of the book.
