About this book
Molly Somerville is the creative force behind a beloved children’s book series, but her personal life is a chaotic mess of impulsive decisions and a massive, unrequited crush. Her target? Kevin Tucker, the arrogant, infuriatingly gorgeous quarterback of the Chicago Stars. While he barely knows she exists, a sudden collision of their worlds forces them together, stripping away the public facades they both desperately cling to.
This gripping urban fantasy romance breathes fresh life into the shifter genre, masterfully blending high-stakes professional sports drama with a touch of supernatural intrigue. As the pair retreats to the idyllic, hidden sanctuary of Wind Lake, the story transcends typical athlete tropes. What begins as a battle of wills between a reckless jock and a woman with a penchant for trouble quickly evolves into a raw, emotional journey of healing.
Fans of the Chicago Stars series will relish the sharp, witty dialogue and the deep character growth that makes this installment stand out. It is a perfect pick for readers who crave a paranormal romance where the stakes are high, the chemistry is volatile, and the path to love is anything but predictable. Prepare to be enchanted by a story where the magic is as real as the heartbreak.

Molly Sommerville has that buzz from time to time that led to the crazies and twisties of this book. In all of SEP's books I've read so far, this has the most twisted and crazy funny characters.
