Fireworks and Fangs
(2026)(The fifth book in the Snowberry Ridge Shifters series)
A novel by Ella Tucker
One spark was all it took to light the fire between them.
Lila Halloran came home to Snowberry Ridge for the summer to house-sit her brother's cabin, drink iced coffee at the Bean & Burrow, and figure out what she wanted from her life before September.
What she did not plan on was Wyatt Pierce.
Her brother's best friend.
The cougar shifter she's been secretly in love with since she was sixteen.
On her first morning back, Wyatt walks into the café, looks at her exactly the way he did all those years ago, and suddenly ten years of distance doesn't feel nearly far enough.
Wyatt had plans for the summer.
Help his brother run the search-and-rescue training program.
Decide whether it was time to walk away from life as a smokejumper.
Keep things simple.
Lila wasn't supposed to be part of any of that.
Neither was breaking the promise he'd made to her brother years ago—a promise to leave her alone until she was grown.
The problem?
She's grown now.
She's home.
And Wyatt is starting to realize he's not the man who's going to let her leave again.
But Snowberry Ridge has a way of keeping secrets.
A promise made ten years ago.
A hidden truth buried deep within Lila's bloodline.
And a future neither of them saw coming.
As the Fourth of July approaches and fireworks begin to light up the mountain sky, the carefully planned lives they've built start to unravel. What begins as a summer reunion quickly becomes something neither of them can walk away from.
Because some sparks were never meant to fade.
And some fated mates are worth waiting for.
Fireworks and Fangs is a sweet-with-heat small-town shifter romance featuring a protective cougar shifter hero, a heroine discovering where she truly belongs, brother's best friend tension, fated mates, found family, small-town charm, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
