𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒓𝒃: 

She’s nearly forty, done with heartbreak, and definitely done with men. Until a blind date turns into a spy mission—and a fake marriage with a dangerously irresistible werewolf.

In the small town of Havenwood, Zera, a dedicated and independent pixie, single mother, and bartender, faces the harsh reality of rejection when her werewolf ex-lover deserts her for his pack and a new flame.

Swearing off men, she relies on her half sister for support, determined to forge ahead with her life. Despite her adamant stance, she’s reluctantly convinced to go on a blind date, vowing to dislike whoever the unfortunate fae might be. To her horror, she’s set up with Maverick Harris, a mysterious werewolf who seems perfect, almost irresistible, until the truth unravels.

He’s a spy, their date is a cover, and to ensure Zera’s safety, she must pretend to be his wife.
