They are not the same genus. They will not shut up about it.
Elliot Moss is a sea otter with a PhD, a cross-country move he's not ready to talk about, and no plan beyond May. Cal Whitmore is a river otter who's never left Bad Little Falls, knows every rock in his river, and eats dinner at his mother's table every Sunday.
Elliot wasn't supposed to stay. Cal wasn't supposed to care.
Then they shifted in the same river at dawn, and biology made the decision their brains were still arguing about.
Now there's a fated mate bond neither of them asked for, a heat neither of them can ignore, a town where the sheriff is a polar bear and the deputy is a honey badger and everybody already knows exactly what happened, and a family of river otters who've already set a place for Elliot at the table.
He just has to decide if he's going to sit down.
(The muffins are warm. The family is loud. The river otter is waiting. It's not a hard decision. It's just the scariest one he's ever made.)
Different Genus is a cozy, high-heat M/M omegaverse shifter romance with fated mates, knotting, small-town meddling, otter taxonomy arguments, and a guaranteed HEA. First in the Bad Little Falls series. Includes a bonus short story.
Explicit and graphic, and short. Heats, ruts, knotting, and the plain words for all of it.
Cozy is the tone here, not the heat.
Omegaverse: fated mate bond, heats and ruts, knotting.
HEA guaranteed. No cliffhanger. Stands alone.
None.
Nobody in Bad Little Falls is cruel and nobody punches down. That’s deliberate, and it holds across the whole series, not just this book.
