Spinning Like a Fox
(2026)(The second book in the Sly Fox Creek Shifters series)
A novel by Heather Mayer
A forensic auditor. A fox shifter with too many secrets. One small mountain town where everything adds up... except the truth.
Kristi Martin has spent nine years uncovering fraud, following money trails, and exposing people who think they're smarter than the numbers. She learned young that charming men tell the biggest lies, and she's built her career proving it.
So when her Denver firm sends her to audit a tiny craft brewery in Sly Creek, Montana, she expects to find embezzlement.
Instead, she finds perfection.
The books balance. Every inventory count is right. Every employee tells the same story. Every resident somehow knows exactly enough to be helpful—and nothing more. Kristi knows the first rule of every conspiracy:
Somebody always talks.
Nobody in Sly Creek does.
Especially not Cody McSly.
The handsome tourism director seems to know everyone, fix everything, and somehow appears whenever she needs him. He's charming without trying, frustratingly impossible to read, and the only man who's ever made Kristi question her own instincts.
The longer she stays, the stranger Sly Creek becomes. The town seems determined to keep her around. Every attempt to leave points her back toward the brewery, the people, and the fox shifter who's hiding far more than a bookkeeping secret.
Kristi has three weeks to finish her audit.
Three weeks to discover why this mountain town protects its secrets so fiercely.
And three weeks to decide whether trusting Cody is the biggest mistake of her career... or the best decision of her life.
Spinning Like a Fox is a later-in-life paranormal romantic comedy filled with fox shifters, small-town charm, slow-burn romance, witty banter, found family, quirky townsfolk, magical secrets, craft brewery hijinks, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Perfect for readers who love:
