The lions want to kill her … and then it gets worse …

Staying under the radar of the Mage Society's Trinity Council hasn't been much of an issue for bakery owner Kalinda Thorton, but when her supposedly weak magical powers start causing afternoon delights, she knows she's in trouble. Add in one dangerously alluring wolf who says he wants to eat more than just her confections and life in Encantado, Nevada, has gone from enchanted to cursed in one afternoon.

He'll huff and puff and keep his mate safe …

Kalinda belongs to the big bad wolf-Romano Moretti. He'll stop at nothing to protect his mate, even if she doesn't yet know they belong together. But clashing with the Trinity Council and a pride of lion shifters at the same time is a lot of work for one wolf, and he might have bitten off more than he can chew.

Kalinda is nobody's witch …

Screw the Council, screw the lions, and most especially screw Romano's scorching touch and fierce protection. She'll handle things on her own even if it kills her, except Romano's sizzling embrace makes her yearn for things she's never thought she wanted. She's beginning to wonder if a big bad wolf is exactly the kind of ally she needs, in more ways than one.

With the fate of the town at stake, Kalinda will need to trust someone … or everyone is doomed.
