Worth His Salt

The Fakari Islands wolf pack has stayed safe by keeping the rest of the world out.

But as trouble brews, the one thing they need may be the last person they're expecting...

Maren has one last chance. Fresh off a string of short-lived careers, she arrives on the Fakaris with a mission: negotiate a deal with Saroan Salts, use it to secure a job back home, and finally live up to her mother's expectations. But the salt company's owner, Seb Greenleaf, isn't interested in a business deal. And once he realizes who he's dealing with-the daughter of the man who caused his father's death-he'll do anything to keep her as far from the islands as possible.

For the last three years, Seb has worked himself to the bone. Ever since the coming-of-age rite that disfigured his leg and nearly cost him his life, he's been consumed by restoring the tradition that might have saved him. And this year, the stakes feel especially high: something is clearly affecting the magic of the islands.

When Maren works her way onto the Fakaris, the two find themselves in closer quarters than either of them want. But as she begins to uncover the islands' secrets, they each realize that the person they've grown to hate may be the key to the thing they want most.

Worth His Salt is a steamy enemies-to-lovers shifter romance in a lush romantasy setting. Chronologically the first in the Fakari Islands series, it can be read as a stand-alone.
