Humid island air shoved against Jadyn Hopper as she disembarked from the airport shuttle. She wiped away beads of sweat from her forehead, and smiled at her first look of the Bellwether Caribbean Resort. The sunlight was like a siren’s call beckoning her forward, and she spread her pale arms in front of her, trying to soak up as many rays a possible.

I can't believe I'm here, she thought, awed.

The open-air lobby was stunning, with an arched entryway leading into a broad space with deep-cushioned chairs and a bar in the center of the room. Brightly-colored birds glided between the exposed wooden beams of the rafters, repeating the same three-note melody to each other. She wanted to lift a hand and have one of them perch on her fingers like a princess in a cartoon. The resort was so beautiful, she half believed that here it might be possible.

Bustling bartenders in flower-patterned shirts seemed to be everywhere, bantering as they twirled bottles and shook cocktails. She sighed in contentment, vacation bliss already unknotting stress from her shoulders. Her holistic therapy practice was wonderful, fulfilling work, but she drove herself to exhaustion helping her clients. Fixing people was an itch she couldn't stop scratching. Not this week, she told herself.

Welcome! A smiling man handed Jadyn a glass of bubbly orange liquid. Bellinis for our honored guests! I’m Isaac, and I’m here to make sure you two have everything you need while you are here with us.

Two of us. Jadyn bit the inside of her cheek, but maintained the smile on her face. For one moment, she had almost forgotten she wasn’t traveling alone.

Toby Toleri was tall, handsome, with ruffled dark hair and shoulders that would be sexy if he wasn't hunched over his phone, texting with the enthusiasm of a tween. Most bear shifters she knew had a kind of looming presence even in human form, but Toby was as twitchy as rabbit shifters like Jadyn.

Jadyn watched in increasingly-awkward silence as Isaac tried to hand Toby a cocktail, but even Isaac's well-intentioned throat clearing couldn't penetrate Toby’s concentration. Jadyn had diagnosed Toby within minutes of meeting him as desperately in need of some kava for relaxation, but he'd only absently waved her off when she'd mentioned it.

Jadyn elbowed her traveling companion in the side. Toby. Pay attention.

Oh. What? Toby's eyes finally unglued from the phone, widening in surprise when he saw Isaac standing so close. What’s your Wi-Fi password?

Jadyn groaned. Her best friend Marc was always telling her she needed to lay off trying to control everyone around her, but Toby was so breathtakingly in need of repair. Her fingers twitched to unbutton his high-buttoned shirt and force him to actually acknowledge the beauty of their surroundings.

Is the signal going to be stronger in the room? Toby asked, holding his phone higher above his head like it would
