On a whim, seamstress Puma Winters decides to finally shoot her shot with her childhood crush. With no plan beyond that moment, she just goes with the flow while allowing the night and her drink to lead the way. So she isn’t surprised when things get really hot, really fast. What she doesn’t expect is to end up caught up in all things Franco and get completely swept away by his charm, swagger, mouthwatering good looks, and mind-blowing stroke game. When the gossip sweeping the small town of Kibby Isle, Georgia, is that Puma and the mayor’s son are dating and that he plans to ask for her hand in marriage during the town’s next big event, she also doesn’t expect the chaos that soon follows.

When Franco demands that she explain after immediately noticing that something isn’t quite adding up, Puma isn’t only quick to offer up an explanation, but she’s willing to comply with several other demands he ensures she’s in the desired position to take note of.Between the blazing, passion-filled days and nights that follow and quickly shift into a full-blown inferno, and the drama that starts spreading quicker than the wildfires, Puma doesn’t realize that neither she nor the town has time to do anything else but brace for the perfect storm of disaster that’s headed straight toward them.

It doesn’t take long for Puma to admit that she’s in way over her head with Franco and all the gossip that only a select few truly know what parts are fact and what’s fiction. In the blink of an eye, when all hell breaks loose, secrets are exposed, and fury and rage spreads through Kibby Isle like never before, Puma wonders if her peaceful life will ever go back to the way it was and if Franco still wants to be the man to guard her heart from everything in life that tries to break it…

Denali “Franco” Sinclair has had a secret crush on Puma Winters since they were kids. And with that same crush only becoming more intense as adults, Franco decides that since he is now a resident of Kibby Isle and not just a visitor anymore, it’s time to finally shoot his shot. But when Puma randomly confesses to feeling the same way one night, the pastry chef and owner of Sinclair’s bakery is not only shocked and thrilled by her confession, but he’s more than ready to follow her lead to a future he never knew he wanted before her.

From the jump, Puma doesn’t hesitate to let it be known that she wants their nightcap turned into a night to remember, and he doesn’thesitate to give the sexy BBW exactly what she wants. He also warns Puma that she belongs to him and only him before he gives her what she’s been craving and doesn’t bother to ask if she’salready spoken for. Things move fast between them, and Franco welcomes every moment. He’s all for it because everything in him is telling him that she’s the one. So when Franco immediately notices the mean mugs and dirty glares of some of Kibby Isle’s residents, he demands answers and for her to end any relationship that she’s got going on with any man, while already claiming her as his.

Not only does he not expect Puma’s response, but for the first time in his life, Franco can see Puma as his wife and the mother of his children. But when the protector in him shifts into beast mode, causing a chain of events that breaks the bond he had in mind and the future he was excited to build with her, he wants nothing more than to make things right. As mayhem upends their lives and the whole town is shaken by the aftermath, will Franco still be holding onto the one woman he’s always wanted when the smoke clears, or will their whirlwind romance end just as quickly as it began?
