Wild Wicked Mate: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Pumpkin Spice Café (Maple Hollow Book 2)

Maple Hollow is a place where small-town charm hides dangerous secrets, but for Phoebe, the biggest threat is the man sitting right beside her. As a shifter living in a community where boundaries are everything, she has spent years masterfully suppressing the undeniable pull toward her best friend, Theo. They have danced around their feelings for a lifetime, but the fragile wall between friendship and obsession is about to shatter.

When a sudden road trip forces them into the cramped, sweltering confines of Theo’s truck, the forced proximity becomes a catalyst for the inevitable. The air is thick with the kind of electric tension that only fated mates can generate, and as the miles tick by, the slow-burn longing they have both fought so hard to bury finally flares into a wildfire. It is no longer a question of if they will cross the line, but how much of their carefully constructed lives will burn in the process.

Expertly blending the comfort of a found-family dynamic with the high-stakes passion of urban fantasy, this story delivers a spicy, heart-pounding journey. If you crave a paranormal romance that feels like home but cuts like a knife, this is your next obsession.
