The fates definitely love their version of Beauty and the Beast, especially when their beast comes with a record. Welcome to the Kinship Cove Diner, where a good cup of coffee comes with every fated mating.

I haven't spent much time thinking about dating or mating or any of that sort of stuff. I'm more of a good girl, waiting for the fates to bring me my perfect match and working hard to help my family in any way possible. That's how I ended up in Kinship Cove in the first place—my aunt needed help at her diner, so here I am. Staying in an old bed-and-breakfast, trying to avoid being yelled at by my loving—if not constantly frazzled—auntie, and avoiding winking shifters like the plague. Men? Not on my radar.

At least not until a beast of a man comes strolling through the door. Literally. He's not what I expected—gray hair, deep, dark eyes, and a temper known throughout the town...including by local law enforcement.

The fates definitely want us together, but when his past comes fighting its way into our present, the fates may not be enough.

Love behind bars is a thing, right?
