When fae baker Artemis Blu returns to Enchanted Falls to take over her family’s bakery, she never expects her carefully ordered world to be upended by the commanding tiger shifter across the street. His protective presence makes her feel both safe and wildly alive, his amber eyes tracking her with a heat that melts her resolve faster than butter in a hot oven. This impossibly attractive alpha with his rare moments of vulnerability is awakening desires she never knew she had.

Tiger shifter Bartek Arbor has spent years being the perfect alpha his pride needs, until one glimpse of the golden-haired fae baker sends his carefully maintained control spiraling. Everything about Artemis captivates him—her courage, her sweet-spicy scent that drives his tiger wild, the way sunshine seems to follow her delicate movements. His inner beast prowls possessively whenever she’s near, demanding to claim what it instantly recognized as theirs.

When a dangerous collector of supernatural artifacts targets the rare soul-tether forming between them, Artemis and Bartek must embrace their unexpected bond to protect not just themselves but all of Enchanted Falls. With a magical eclipse approaching, family secrets coming to light, and the truth behind Artemis’s parents’ death revealed, they face a race against time to strengthen their connection before it can be severed forever.
