A mail carrier who's never once been anybody's prey. A mountain lion who'd rather leave through a painted-shut window than risk it. And a 97.9% match neither of them asked a dating agency to find.
Ollie Dunbar has Route 3 memorized, a goose that hates him, and a private rule about being told what his own body means. So when Pine Ridge's dating agency hands him an envelope marked DO NOT PANIC—and a lab result saying he's carried dormant rabbit-omega markers his whole life—he does what he does with difficult mail. He reads it, files it, and refuses to let anyone else decide where it goes. Bennett Carver, the only mountain lion in a county of bears, is the match. Bennett has already said one word about it: unsafe.
Now there's yellow tape on a consultation-room floor, a no-pounce zone with Bennett's name on it, and one supervised date Ollie agreed to mostly out of spite. Bennett's inner cat thinks courtship means gravel, reflective markers, and hand warmers nobody will notice. Bennett himself doesn't push. He waits where he's put, asks before he comes closer, and stops the second he's told to—which is far more dangerous to Ollie's composure than a predator ever was. Because Ollie isn't afraid of being chased. He's afraid of a whole town deciding his fear is the truest thing about him.
✔ Predator/prey fated mates who set the rules together ✔ Human with dormant rabbit-omega instincts + mountain lion alpha ✔ A smug inner cat that thinks it's being subtle (it is not) ✔ Small-town dating agency chaos and a laminated binder ✔ Courtship by practical gifts ✔ He falls first—and waits to be called ✔ Found family of bears who will not mind their business
Heat Level: Scorching, open door Vibes: Warm, funny, consent-forward, slow-burn-to-blaze Setting: Pine Ridge, Montana, a bear town in early spring Ending: Guaranteed HEA.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
