Colbie Karridge lives in the neutral zone and is perfectly happy running her bakery, creating delicious, sweet treats for both humans and shifters alike who venture into the shared area.
Her life is simple, but she thought she was happy. Until now, she has forgone friendships and relationships with the opposite sex in the pursuit of success, but with that success comes the realisation that her life is empty. Sure, she has her mom, but her mom, an in-demand fashion designer, has managed to have friends and suitors as well as a booming business. Colbie wants that too.

It’s the coronation year for the new shifter King or Queen, and both human and shifters are buzzing with excitement which spills over into the neutral zone. An early morning walk to the bakery and a surprise in the alley behind her shop, changes everything. Colbie’s life is never going to be the same again, and she may have bitten off way more than she can chew.
