A Baker for the Horse Shifter

He was supposed to help renovate her bakery. Pretending to be her boyfriend definitely wasn't part of the job.

Della Nance has spent years building Honey & Flour into the heart of Clover Hollow. She knows every customer's favorite pastry, remembers every birthday, and can solve almost any problem before anyone realizes there is one.

She does not need help.

Especially not from Eli Sisk.

Quiet, capable, and unfairly attractive, Eli has been part of Della's life for years-the man who fixes what breaks, shows up when she calls, and somehow notices every time she forgets to take care of herself.

Then a little fake dating seems like the perfect solution to a very real problem.

Until the pretending starts feeling suspiciously real.

Eli has wanted Della longer than he knows how to admit, but wanting something and reaching for it are two very different things. His horse has no such hesitation. And when Della finally learns the truth about the quiet man who has always been there-and the horse shifter hiding beneath all that restraint-she starts wondering whether accepting help might not mean losing control after all.

Maybe it means making room.

For someone who doesn't just need her.

Someone who wants her.

A cozy small-town horse shifter romance featuring a hardworking baker, a quiet handyman hero, fake dating, longtime chemistry, found family, magical secrets, plenty of sizzling chemistry, on-page heat, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
