Nimue Fitzpatrick never really meant to leave Deadlights Cove, but after she'd impulsively kissed her best friend, Kit Sayana, it suddenly became easier to take freelance photography jobs out of town. Just what she needed to forget the mess and the amber eyes she couldn't bear to face anymore in the Cove. Now, after four years away, it might be time to admit that she's been avoiding him. The last four years haven't been the easiest for Kit as the pressure to assume his responsibilities as future Alpha for the Arrowwood skulk takes over his life. Needing space, he moved out of his family home and into the apartment above his tea shop, Immortali-Tea. Despite the closeness among the members of his skulk, there is one thing he hasn't shared with anyone, even his closest friends: ever since he kissed Nimue all those years ago, he's known she's his mate. The problem is that an interspecies mate bond is impossible, so it can never be. When Nimue returns home for her cousin Blaze's Halloween party, everything changes. No matter how the two childhood friends try to avoid their feelings for each other, fate has other plans. With magic turning on the shifters, the town is set into a panic that requires everyone to work together - especially Kit and Nimue. Can they recover their prior friendship enough to come together and solve the next mystery, before it has lasting effects on the shifters in town? Follow Kit and Nimue's story, along with the quirky band of local misfits, through the Deadlights Cove series, in book two, Deja Brew. While each book follows a different couple, the Deadlights Cove series is best read in order. Catch up and find out what Petra and Blaze discover in book one, Smoke Show, first.
