Another freebie (just for February), I haven't read it yet, but I did read a prequel novella that the author gives out to newletter subscribers as well as a later novella in the series, also for free from the author. Both were fun reads so I've bumped this one higher up on the TBR mountain. The second book in the series is currently $0.99, but going back up in price soon. Not in KU.

Seduced by a Selkie by Lauren Connolly
Spoiler:
All Delta needs is a cozy home, an odd dog, and a coffee shop with good wifi. She does not need a shifter bent on seduction.
Delta Novac hates her house on Lake Galen. The old place in the small town of Folk Haven is a reminder of her father’s mental decline in the last few years of his life. She’s just come to town to clear the thing out and get it ready to sell. Delta never even planned to dip a toe in the water until a prone body floating has her diving in to save the swimmer.
A selkie will know their mate when they are rescued.
Calder MacNamara wasn’t in need of saving, but he certainly appreciates the effort. Especially when the hands on his bare skin warm him to his core. The moment he meets the woman’s piercing stare, his gut tells him she’s his fated mate. But he soon finds that if Delta feels anything toward him, it’s annoyance. Accidentally insulting her dog doesn’t help his case.
With Delta’s focus on the road out of town, Calder scrambles to discover what, if anything, could make her stay. He’s willing to use all means of pleasure at his disposal to convince his mate that Folk Haven is the perfect place to call home. Especially if you’re a mythical creature.
Discover the magical town of Folk Haven, where many of the townsfolk know their neighbors are creatures of legend. This 40k word story is book 1 in the series, a standalone story fans of Molly Harper, Kresley Cole, and Gena Showalter will enjoy.

Sucker For a Siren by Lauren Connolly
Spoiler:
Neri wants a new home, a good book, and a freshly baked bear claw. She does not want a selkie getting sassy with her because she saved his life.
Seamus MacNamara may be a mythical creature, but that doesn’t mean he has to believe all those legends about selkies and finding their fated mates. Specifically, that his mate will rescue him. Complete nonsense. If he is going to ask a woman out, he’ll do it because he likes her personality, not because she saves his life. Problem is, the barista Seamus has tried his hardest to flirt with ends up rescuing him from a potentially embarrassing death.
What would a siren want with a selkie, anyway?
Neri Onassis may have thought Seamus was cute at first, but when he freaks out after her acting the badass hero, her tiny crush evaporates. Good thing, because she needs to put all her brain power toward figuring out her new life in Folk Haven, the mythic-filled town next to Lake Galen. After an awkward break up with both a man and her parents, Neri left her old life behind, determined to figure out what kind of person, and siren, she wants to be. An ungrateful selkie is only a distraction.
But in a small town, the two continue to cross paths, and Seamus finds himself giving in to the call of the siren’s intelligence and humor. After a passionate encounter, the selkie wonders if the gods had the pairing right all along. But Seamus can’t rely on fate when Neri refuses to even consider mating the man who ran from her in the first place.
Return to the magical town of Folk Haven with book 2 in this series, a 60,000+ word standalone paranormal romance. Fans of Molly Harper, Charlaine Harris, and Gena Showalter will want to curl up with a copy of this steamy story!
