Nessa Baxter’s about to get everything she wants. A close friend has offered Nessa her dream job as his personal chef. But can Gerri Wilder, Nova Aurora’s matchmaking miracle-worker, find Nessa her dream mate?After years of waiting, Nessa’s pretty sure she’s a lost cause. But then she meets strong, sexy Gaius, a bear shifter bachelor whose skills with his tools will be instrumental in building … building her the kitchen of her dreams. Lonely and aloof, the dominating former Arena Champion seems the perfect match for strong-willed Nessa. But if that were true, wouldn’t the matchmaker they’ve both placed their trust in have matched them up already?
Gerri’s silence is telling; Nessa doesn’t want to get close to anyone she’s not going to have a future with, and Gaius isn’t sure he’s ready to have a future with anyone at all. The trouble is, the bossy she-bear has lit a fire in him that can’t easily be quenched, and her skills in the kitchen are going straight to his heart.
