Fate turns the Wheel, and a witch gets a raw deal. Sheila Fitzgerald wanted a family and independence from her over-bearing mother. Marriage seemed her best choice. But before the honeymoon was even over, her husband was killed. And she ends up in Assjacket to grieve. Fate sends a mate to a lonely beaver Shifter. Bucky Buckminster, the head of Assjacket P. D.'s CSI team, has searched for his mate for his entire adult life.
And here she is. A petite, red-haired, green-eyed witch. But she's also recently widowed. He sure can't pursue her-he's not an asshole. Burying his alpha traits, he moves in slowly. Patiently. First earn her friendship. Then win her love. An impatient Fate gives the witch a kick in the ass. After months of grieving, Sheila wants to show the world she's not the dim-witted persona she hid behind to avoid her mother's plans.
Surprised at her strong magical talents, Bucky enlists her help with a series of destructive crimes that stink of death magic. As they work together, she discovers a hopeful new kind of magic-a mating kind. But her hope may be cut short when the murderer also notices her. Can a witch and a Shifter overcome evil and find the life they crave? Fate only knows.
