    About this ebook

    Zephyr
    Zephyr Delarosa is the florist for the Phantom Creek Mortuary. His flower arrangements bring beauty to the sad act of burying a loved one. However, Zephyr is a rare shifter and his animal side gives him the effect of a split personality with its dominance, scaring away any possible lovers he might have. When his friends start discovering their fated mates Zephyr is hopeful he’ll get one of his own.
    Finn
    Finn Reynolds is a Kelpie prince and spends most of his time in the water. Although he’s considered to be a water spirit, Finn is obsessed with all the living things on land, but flowers are what he loves most. Each time he leaves his home for land in search of a mate he makes it his mission to discover a new flower. When he hears about a shop that has an array of exotic flowers and plants, he decides to stop in for a visit.
    Together
    Zephyr wants a fated mate, but his insecurities try to get the better of him. Finn never expected to find a mate when he’s been searching for nearly a hundred years. Can Zephyr get past his fears and claim his mate? Will Finn be able to give up his home in the water to be with Zephyr? Or will the obstacles they face be too great to get past?

    Well Ezra isn't my real name obviously but I liked the name so I decided to use it. I live at home with my five dogs and one cat. I started out writing hetero romance novels but it wasn't where my heart lied. I adore all things paranormal and M/M is by far my favorite genre so I decided to start writing Paranormal Romances. There's a guaranteed happy ending with each of my books even if it may take some time for my guys to get there. I love each and every character on the page as if they were my own children. It sounds weird but that’s how I feel about them. ? I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember but only started actively pursuing it as a career three years ago when I decided to stop working in a salon and pursue writing full time. Since I published my first book in 2014 I have written and released nine other books with many more to come. My current list of projects is longer than my arm so I look forward to writing and creating new stories for my readers to enjoy ?

      Cute but quick and superficial story. It shows character development but it all happens too fast and doesnt let you immerse in the feels.

    Zephyr Delarosa (Zeff-her, Del-a-rosa)

    Finn Reynolds (Finn, Rey-nolds)

    You’re too much. How many people have said those words to me, I wonder? Far too many to count. Whether it’s my animal half or my job. I’m too dominant for them when my animal comes out to play and too flamboyant when I talk about my work. There are two sides to me. I’m split like two halves of a coin. To every person I’ve ever had a relationship with, that’s just one side too many. My only wish is that when I meet my fated mate I won’t be ‘too much’ for them. I don’t think I could handle those words from their mouth.

    With my dual nature, it’s hard to find someone who wants to be with me for longer than it takes the cum to dry especially since the animal half is the one who rules. It’s too much of an influence on my personality to suppress. Will my fated mate be able to handle the dominance in me or will I be forced to spend the rest of my life alone?

    Flowers are my passion. I love working with them and my extensive collection brings in clients from all over. By growing most of them myself, I have easy access to a lot of flower types. When I moved to Phantom Creek to open my shop, I bought a ton of land that someone was selling cheap and built my house on it. The greenhouse came soon after and I made sure it was the size I needed for my work. It might seem odd to have a greenhouse the size of a few football fields, but it needed to be that big, so I could split it into climate-controlled sections for all the exotic plants and flowers I have. It’s like a bunch of little greenhouses inside of one larger one.

    My love for flowers started with my grandfather. When I was younger, and he was still alive, I’d spend time at his house while my parents travelled for work. Even though he had enough money to hire gardeners, he never did. Instead, he insisted on doing all the work himself and enlisted my help whenever I was there. Each day was a new lesson in flowers. Whenever we planted a new flower, my grandfather would explain to me what they were, the climates they thrived in, and their meaning in the language of flowers. There were other things he explained too, like soil types that are perfect for planting certain flowers and how often they need to be given plant food.

    It was the best part of
