Cougar Shifter Gooper Pollitt left her home in West Virginia five years ago for the Big City, but a call from her brother has her racing back. Big Daddy is ill, and no matter how prickly things were when she left, family is family.

When she returns, G finds that everything in the town and on the mountain is the same as when she left, except there's a hot new man in town—a warlock who brews up a magical latte and makes donuts to die for. G's family might have the vapors over her dating a warlock, but their attitudes toward Dev quickly change when he divines that Big Daddy isn't ill—he's been cursed.

Can G and Dev find time for love while hunting for a would-be killer?
