The Cat Who Went Up the Creek by Lilian Jackson Braun, 226 pages

 Pickax's favorite columnist, James Qwilleran, is enjoying a brief holiday in the nearby town of Black Creek - but his two Siamese, who prefer the spaciousness of their home, beg to differ. The blissful tranquility is soon interrupted by the discovery of a body floating down the creek.

The Pirate Queen by Ariel Lawhorn, 503 pages

 Grace O'Malley was born to be at sea. Raised alongside her brother by their father, chief of the name of clan O'Malley, Grace learns early that her dreams of the open water are not compatible with the life she's expected to lead as the daughter of a noble family. And when her father marries her to the wrong man, a neighbouring chief named Donhal, Grace's world shifts for the worse.

Undaunted, Grace raises a family without abandoning her passion, aiding her hot-tempered husband in his campaigns against rival tribes. Eventually ousted from her husband's land in the wake of his death, Grace returns to her childhood home and begins her career as a pirate in earnest, claiming new territories and finding deeper love, only to see her livelihood threatened by English incursions into Ireland, and her family endangered in an attempt to check her power.

Tenderly observed and fiercely written, Ariel Lawhon's gripping latest novel channels the natural beauty of sixteenth-century Ireland alongside the brutality of the period as seen through the eyes of an unforgettable heroine and defender of her people, who truly earned the title 'the Pirate Queen of Ireland.'

 When she goes to the hardware store looking for DIY materials and instead finds her fated mates.

Harper has two don’t take life too seriously, and never ever fall in love. After growing up with a mum who had a revolving door of boyfriends, she’s learned that love is messy and guaranteed to ruin your life.
So when a quick, flirty trip to the hardware store turns into a supernatural ambush of pheromones, fate, and three sinfully attractive shifters claiming she’s their fated mate, Harper does what any gun-shy woman would do.
She runs.
But the bond won’t let her forget them. The wolf who’s as grumpy as he is intense. The tiger who flirts like it’s his full-time job. And the bear who knows she’s the only woman for them.
Harper doesn’t do forever. She doesn’t do mates. And she definitely doesn’t do three of them.
Too bad fate, and these shifters, aren’t taking no for an answer.
