Back to the beginning…
Maeve Brádaigh never meant to come back home to her family's estate. She thought her ambition and good looks would make a life for herself in the exciting capital of Gleanná, but after years of feeling small, she's back home, her tail between her legs. At least she has a degree to show for it, as well as a position at the new school for human and otherly children. Still, coming home opens old wounds—and worse, everyone at home knows just who Maeve used to be, not who she's trying to become. Almost everyone, that is… The past leaves scars… Although it's been years now, Soren has yet to feel he truly belongs in the peaceful village he and his manticore brothers helped build for humans and otherlies. One by one, his brothers are making lives for themselves, finding mates, looking to the future. Shamed and exiled from their former pride and left with scars on his face, Soren has never thought much about the future. He doesn't have dreams; he doesn't long for a mate. That is, until he meets a certain schoolteacher… Spring always brings fresh blooms… Soren has no experience with hopes and dreams, let alone romance. Maeve has no idea what to do with a man—er, lion-man so earnest. Neither expected the bond and attraction snapping between them, yet both know this is too special to ignore. But love isn't always easy, and the past doesn't always stay there… Changelings: Volume 2 includes Soren & Maeve's story and a surprise short story!
