Downloading A Pint of Perfection (Smoke & Mirrors Tavern 5)
CONNOR
After years of dating every available woman in Eastbend, I can officially say with complete confidence — I'm exhausted. I kept up the positive attitude until it drained me dry, but it turns out dating is a soul-crushing game of chance and fate has a twisted sense of humor.
Hunters destroyed my family when I was just a cub and I've spent my entire life trying to rebuild what I lost. While I'm surrounded by people I care about at the tavern, I can't seem to shake the loneliness that plagues me. A deep, nagging feeling that I'm missing something.
When Levi stumbled into the tavern, I hardly expected he would be the one to ease the ache, but it turns out I'm a quickly growing addicted to his cynical humor and gentle manner. But the cat shifter has secrets that could shake the whole town. Not the least of which is a young kitten who needs protecting.
Between the hunters' new endeavors and the council's sudden interest in Eastbend, things have gone downhill in a hurry. And when Levi's secrets come to light, bringing more even trouble, the timing couldn't be worse.
Levi disappears after our plans for the hunters are exposed, and things don't look good. But the hunters have taken too much from me already, and I'm not letting go without a fight.
LEVI
Why am I so bad at life? I swear, I've done the best I could, but somehow the hole I'm in just keeps getting deeper.
My best friend, Abby, left me alone to protect her kitten, knowing damn well I can barely take care of myself. Now we've stumbled into this weird ass town on the last of our gas, and I've only managed to make things worse. The secrets just keep stacking up and the people we've come to depend on would hate me if they knew the things I've been hiding.
But Eastbend has some secrets of their own. And it turns out, so did Abby.
The walls are closing in the longer we stay, and while I know I should go, I can't quite make myself leave. I've developed a ridiculous crush on a man who should want nothing to do with me, and worse, I can't seem to make it stop. No matter how hard I look for flaws, it's like Connor is some inhuman being put on the planet to confuse me with his relentless kindness and his big, spine-melting hugs. No one could possibly be that perfect. And yet, I can't seem to find the crack in his mask.
When Ollie and Sage connect the dots of my past, it's time to lay it all out and accept my fate. I've caused Connor too much trouble already, and I'll do whatever it takes to protect him and his family. I thought I knew what that meant, but my heart is telling me I was so very wrong. Maybe I've finally figured things out — but isn't it just my luck that it's already too late.
