Kitchen witch Hannah Cloyce spent years pretending she was over Travis Bradstreet—her best friend’s brother and Calderon’s alpha-witch fire captain. Then someone sets fire to her bakery, and fate names Travis as her mate.

The first blaze is only the beginning. Someone knows Hannah’s routines, knows where she lives, and knows exactly what matters enough to hurt. Travis falls first, hard, while the danger climbs higher every day and the bond pulls harder every night. And just when Hannah starts believing the life she built might finally include everything she wanted, she discovers the threat is closer than she ever imagined.

When someone is determined to burn down everything you love, do you let the people who love you stand beside you—or push them away before loving you puts them in the line of fire?
