The Motherly Shifter by Sara Summers

“I was twenty-four when I met my soulmate, and not even once in my life had I been around a seven-year-old girl. So, when Mason told me I was going to be a mother to one, I felt like my panic was justified.”
Lyssie has been expecting her soulmate to be a human who knows nothing about shifters, so when she finds out he’s some sort of shifter expert and that he has a seven-year-old daughter, her expectations go flying out the window. Confused and struggling to accept a life she never imagined she’d live, Lyssie has to learn to be a mother or walk away from her soulmate.
“I’d spent five years of my life studying and researching shifters, but there wasn’t a single thing I learned that prepared me for the day I stood on my soulmate’s porch. My hands were sweating and my heart was pounding, but I tried to keep it cool.”
Thanks to science, Mason Evans knew he was the human soulmate to a shifter long before he meets Lyssie Ellison. He understands everything there is to know about shifters… until he doesn’t. As Mason realizes that there’s more to being a shifter than facts and science can show, will he adapt or let go?
