What Readers Are Saying:

"This was sort of an enemies-to-lovers story in the beginning. But it quickly turned into a pair united against the enemy trying to rip them apart. As for the romance, this pair were spicy in the bedroom and sweet outside of it. Their first meeting was hilarious and I loved their banter. Chase was a bad boy hero with a soft heart. A swoon-worthy combination." ~The Romance Reviews

"From the first word, this book pulls the reader into a fast-paced and exciting story that is full of twists and turns. The plot is well developed and moves at a brisk pace. The characters are well written and the dialogue between them fluid and realistic." ~InD'Tale Magazine

"As with the first book, this story is quite gripping and suspenseful- with a bit of a ‘mystery’ to try to unravel. There are also some funny moments- witty quips, banter and antics that made me smile/laugh. The chemistry between Rain and Chase was palpable, and there were some very steamy moments to be had between these two! Ms. Pulkinen built the tension and the intrigue superbly. I was hanging on her every word and I definitely had my heart in my mouth for the last few chapters- HOLY MOLEY!!!" ~Amazon Reviewer

Excerpt:

“I would love to spend the night with you.” The warmth of his breath on her skin sent shivers running down to her toes. He caught her earlobe between his teeth before moving back to look at her. “But I texted Luke, and he’ll have my ass if I don’t get out there and stop the damn demon. Can you call your sister?”

“If I asked her, she’d be doing me a kindness. My curse may not affect you, but she would pay dearly for it.”

He huffed. “What if I call her? Then she’ll be doing me a kindness.”

She rose onto her toes to kiss him. Her dream of feeling his soft, warm lips all over her body would have to wait, but that was okay. Letting their emotions simmer for a while would sweeten the reward. “There’s no need. Snow cast a spell of protection on the bakery. There are totems placed around the perimeter, and as long as the doors are locked, nothing can get in.”

He arched an eyebrow, giving her a wary look.

“I’ll prove it to you. Go outside, and I’ll lock the door. I’ll bet you anything you can’t get in.”

He pinned her with a heated gaze that seemed to suck the breath from her lungs. “Anything?”

She swallowed. “Yep.”

Running his fingers through her hair, he grazed her neck with his lips. “If I get in, you’ll give me anything I want? Whenever I want it?”

“I will.” Her knees weakened. Goddess, please let it be the same thing I want.

“And if I can’t get in? Not that I won’t be able to, but we need to make it fair.” The corner of his mouth curved into a cocky grin.

She reached a hand to his face and ran her fingers down the soft hair in his beard. “Then you have to give me whatever I want.”

“Sounds like a win-win to me.”

She ran her thumb across his lips, and tingling magic seeped into her skin, sending a jolt through her heart. “You’re assuming we both want the same thing.”

He pulled her close, taking her mouth with his. The evidence of his desire rubbed against her stomach, and she fought the urge to slide her hand between their bodies to feel it. He had to be the sexiest man alive—his body, his scent, his soul—everything about him ignited a fire inside her like an oven on full blast. There was enough heat between them to fuel her entire bakery.

As the kiss slowed, he released his hold and stepped back. “I think we do.” He winked and strutted out the door.
