I make the best baked goods in all of New Mexico, perhaps the whole world, in my so-very-humble opinion, using a secret family recipe, and a little forbidden magic. My bakery has been booming ever since I got rid of that big bag of moldy beans, aka the world's most grotesque farting and armpit-sniffing ex-husband. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMy life is finally on track. My autistic preteen son is thriving despite his unpredictable magic. My bumbling apprentice and her disappearing pygmy dragon only manage to set the place on fire a few times a month. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd then \u003ci\u003ehe\u003c\/i\u003e walks into my life. A tall, tanned, virile shifter, who, after one steamy night, makes me believe in a whole new kind of magic. There's just one problem-he's an outlaw, accused of a crime he says he didn't commit. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAm I stupid enough to believe him? Possibly. Am I reckless enough to follow him to the ends of the earth to prove his innocence? Definitely. Especially when the succubus he claims framed him might be the same demon who killed my parents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eBONUS SHORT STORY\u003cbr\u003eBob'z Big Adventure!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Goddess has gifted the nannies of the gnome tribe Fungi-Toes with the object of their desires, and this one doesn't need batteries.
