I was never anyone's first choice. Until two monsters made me their only one.
One bad decision leads me into the woods and straight into the hands of two masked strangers who chase me through the dark, pin me down, and leave me questioning everything I thought I knew about myself.
Then I learn who they are.
Serpents.
And not just any Serpents, but six-foot-ten Hunter Kincaid and his other half, six-foot-eight Atlas Trembley.
Atlas gets under my skin like a splinter. He fights me, steals from me, and doesn't care that I want to kill him. He's counting on it.
Hunter doesn't speak. He takes. He decides. And he's decided on me.
They even call me Little Titan like I belong to them.
The worst part?
I want to belong to the two hockey players who fight over marshmallows and look at me like I'm the best thing that's ever happened to them.
But Hunter's past isn't done with him. And when it threatens to tear us apart, I learn exactly what kind of monsters my Serpents are.
Rule #3: Never get emotionally invested in your quirky small hometown.
Unfortunately, I’ve broken all three rules…
When a career-ending scandal sends me back to Maplewood, Vermont, I need to lay low and figure out my next steps. Instead, I find my hometown in crisis. The local economy is struggling, the beloved Maple Festival has been stolen by a rival town, and I’m forced to work side by side with Mayor Gabriel Harding, my childhood rival and the town’s optimistic hometown hero.
Helping Gabe save Maplewood should be simple. I’m a political strategist. He’s a small-town mayor. Together, we’re supposed to save Maplewood.
The problem? Gabe refuses to see me as the villain I think I am. Every time I push him away, he fights harder for me, for this town, and for the future neither of us imagined. Somewhere between arguing over town budgets, getting snowed in together, and one ill-advised one-night-stand, our enemies-to-lovers rivalry turns into an unexpected pregnancy.
Apparently, saving a small town requires public humiliation, emotional vulnerability, forced proximity … and an alarming amount of maple syrup.
As I fight to bring the Maple Festival back to town, I uncover a dangerous corporate conspiracy, become the target of powerful enemies, and discover someone wants Maplewood to fail.
Now we’re fighting for our town, our future and the family we never saw coming.
Because falling for my enemy was never part of the plan.
“I can’t—” His voice breaks. “I could lose my license. I could lose everything.”
“I know.” I try to sound understanding, like I’m okay with this, even though every nerve in my body is screaming for him to stay close. “I know what you’re risking. I would never—”
His gaze roams my face, like he’s trying to memorize it. When he finally meets my eyes again, his expression is filled with something I’ve seen many times before: in the exam room when his fingers lingered for too long while checking my ankle, in the kitchen when he insisted on cooking for me, in the hallway when he thought I wasn’t looking.
Something I’d mistaken for professional concern. But now, with his body pressed against mine and his breathing ragged, I understand it was always something else entirely. Something he’d been fighting to hide, fighting to deny, fighting to remain ethical about.
Lost in my own head, I almost miss the moment he cracks. The exact second when he growls, “Fuck it. Fuck everything.”
And then his mouth is on mine.
I freeze for a heartbeat, my brain struggling to catch up with the reality of what’s happening. But then it registers… Zac is kissing me. My doctor is kissing me. And I melt into him like I’ve been waiting for this moment.
One of his hands moves to my waist, gripping tight, while the other slides up along my hair to cup the back of my head. He tugs me toward him with both hands, pulling me impossibly closer, and I go willingly. This is wrong. This violates every ethical code. And I don’t care. Not one bit.

J.J. Cagney writes twisty, atmospheric mysteries and thrillers where every clue is a risk and every secret comes at a price. Her award-winning books follow smart, determined protagonists as they face danger, both in the wild landscapes of New Mexico and Yellowstone and in their own lives.
Cagney is best known for the acclaimed Cici Gurule Mysteries. A Pilgrimage to Death was named one of Kirkus Reviews’ 100 Best Books of 2018, won the National Indie Excellence Award, and became a Goodreads Best Mysteries reader favorite. An Artifact of Death was called “an exhilarating entry in a thoroughly enjoyable series” (Kirkus Reviews) and was a BookLife Award quarterfinalist. Her newer books, like Bayou Venom, have also earned her Judge’s Top Pick for both the Claymore and Silver Falchion Awards at Killer Nashville 2025.
Before becoming a full-time storyteller, Cagney worked as a literary agent and as a marketing director for elite athletes. These jobs helped her develop a sharp sense for high-stakes drama and character-driven conflict. She now lives in northern New Mexico with her family, two mischievous dogs, and a small but suspiciously well-organized tank of fish.
From Cassie Graham, comes an all-new retelling of her original novel, Enchanting Wilder.
Love, But Wilder is re-imagined and re-edited with 50,000+ added words!
A witch, McKenna Sawyer, doesn’t know what happened to her seemingly (para)normal life. After her parents go missing, the only path forward is to continue running her family’s flower and metaphysical shop, Petals and Potions. And at night, she warns mortals of their impending deaths via dream-jumping. She thought her existence would start and end in Summerson, Massachusetts with her corgi Familiar, Pepperoni, but as months pass without her parents, she starts to feel as if her life is meant for more. Foreign emotions claw at her skin, begging her to do something different—be someone different.
Just as she begins to lose hope, McKenna is assigned Declan Wilder, a self-assured and complicated monster hunter. When they meet face-to-face, they realize their paths are more entangled than they realized and that the red-eyed demon they witnessed in Declan’s dream isn’t a harbinger of death, but a key to unlocking the secrets to McKenna’s parents’ disappearance.
A journey of self-discovery and passion, McKenna and Declan, along with their siblings, begin to uncover deep rooted mysteries that have been put in place by the people they love most. Together, they must face who they truly are, and amid all the chaos, stay true to their hearts.
