Once Upon a Time meets The Princess Bride in this cozy fantasy retelling of Red Riding Hood with an adorable second chance romance, forced proximity, talking cats, and sweet little treats.

Being chased by wolves through a dark forest isn’t the ideal start to Audrey’s summer, and when she’s knocked through a magical gate to Faerie, only one person can make the situation worse.

Her charming, cheesecake-loving ex-boyfriend, Gavin McKenna.

Oh, and he’s also the wolf.

Gavin never meant to break Audrey’s heart, but when you’re a cursed wolf-shifting fae on a mission to the human realm for the Unseelie Queen, you tend to keep some secrets from your high school sweetheart.

Now they have to work together to get her home. As they journey through golden autumn forests, evading the queen’s Huntsman, Audrey starts to fall in love with both the wild and magical Unseelie Kingdom, and the charming fae shifter who brought her there

Is she strong enough to risk heartbreak again to find out if this is true love? And more importantly, can she survive in a fairytale kingdom where no one has heard of coffee?
