Nessa Baxter’s about to get everything she wants. A close friend has offered Nessa her dream job as his personal chef. But can Liora Delphine, Arcturus Nebula’s matchmaking Oracle, find Nessa her dream mate? After years of waiting, Nessa’s pretty sure she’s a lost cause. But then she meets strong, sexy Gaius, a bear shifter bachelor whose skills with his tools will be instrumental in building her the kitchen of her dreams. Lonely and aloof, the dominating former Arena Champion seems the perfect match for strong-willed Nessa. But if that were true, wouldn’t the Oracle they’ve both placed their trust in have matched them up already? The Oracle’s silence is telling; Nessa doesn’t want to get close to anyone she’s not going to have a future with, and Gaius isn’t sure he’s ready to have a future with anyone at all. The trouble is, the bossy she-bear has lit a fire in him that can’t easily be quenched, and her skills in the kitchen are going straight to his heart.

Pomona Maurin’s biggest dream is landing a coveted position as personal chef to the stars. She’s busted her ass and put her to-die-for recipes to the test, yet gained zero recognition for her efforts. That is, until matchmaker oracle Liora Delphine discovers her culinary talents and knows just the “stars” who need Pomona’s skills the most. Ignazio Karsten and Bryer Vargas are two of the most famous celebrities among the planets in the Arcturus Nebula. The dragon shifter duo, known regionally as “Hot Wings,” are the reigning Arcturus Nebula Arena League champions for several seasons running. When a vindictive opponent breaks the rules and nearly kills Bryer during their championship fight, their streak might just be at an end—and so might their careers. Only dedicated training and a strict diet will ensure Bryer’s return to health, and Ignazio’s recovery from a deep depression, but even that won’t guarantee the duo will make it back into the arena for the next season. They need a chef with the particular talents to fulfill their dietary needs and still satisfy their hungry dragons. When they set eyes on Pomona, both men know there’s only one thing on the menu for them. Will they be able to convince their new chef that they want to share more than just her cooking?
