Inheriting a bookstore in a magical town was my childhood dream, but the reality of settling my great-aunts estate is more hell than happily-ever-after. Between chaotic finances and pre-booked events I cant cancel, Im counting the days until I can flee back to my ordered life in Seattle and a waiting job offer.
But selling the store gets complicated when one distractingly handsome orc from my past keeps showing up to help—and Im running out of reasons to say no.

Watching my brother find his mate left me hungry for my own. Then little Carrie storms...
Even fate needs a little shelf-help sometimes.

Watching my brother find his mate left me hungry for my own. Then little Carrie storms back into my life, those prim lips curved in a shush, and my mate bond ignites with a roar.
The quiet girl who shared her cookies has grown into a goddess of fitted skirts and perfectly pinned hair. She wields spreadsheets like weapons, bringing order to chaos while every buttoned-up inch of her makes me burn to watch her unravel.
When a snake of a developer plots to steal her inheritance, theyll both learn that this orcs patience has limits—and Im not letting anyone write my mate out of our future.
But Ill savor showing her that the messiest stories make the sweetest endings.
