For the Love of Chocolate - Fated Mates, #2

Return to the world of Rexi Lake's Imagi and the Colorado shifters. The threat of the Diocletian Society has brought more shifters back to Serenity Springs. The clans have pulled together their top soldiers to protect their vulnerable. But even the best protection isn't perfect. Steven "Spider" Davis has been away for years. He's known his mate was back in Serenity Springs but he couldn't claim her.
Now danger is swirling around and he's done keeping his distance. The wolf inside him agrees. It's time to return home to claim and protect his mate. Lara Ellison has always had her head in the clouds. Except when it comes to food. She might dream of meeting one of the other Imagi beings, but her reality is the sweet shop and bakery that allows her the freedom to sweeten others' days. As a maternal dominant, the energetic deer thrives in the kitchen and in providing for her customers.
But the influx of dominant predators and strangers is scaring the animal inside her and disrupting her life in so many ways. Lara has no idea that her mate is coming for her. Unfortunately, he's not the only one. When the Society strikes again, will the clans be ready to protect their own?
