Fake It 'Til You Mate It (Murder in Moonburrow Book 1)

Honey Morgan is a Virginia opossum shifter who has spent her life hiding among humans. When she gets startled and passes out, waking in a morgue, she realizes she needs to be around other shifters. She moves to Moonburrow and takes over her grandmother's bakery, Dough You Believe In Magic, with help from her sidekick Gus. Max Lobo is the sheriff to outsiders and Alpha of the Moonshadow Pack to the supernatural residents of Moonburrow. He is Honey's mate, though he doesn't yet recognize her as such. When Honey discovers a dead predator outside her bakery, Max begins appearing at her door repeatedly. As they're thrown together investigating the death, Max starts to realize that Honey is not just another prey shifter on his territory—she is his mate, the other half of his wolf's soul.
