Lane’s Destiny by Aquila Thorne

Once bitten, twice shy.

At 31, Lane Petersen thought he had it all together. He had a thriving P.I. practice with clients across the globe, that is, until he put too much trust in Kyle, his best friend, and only employee. After learning Kyle is a thief, Lane fires him and now needs a new purpose in life. Selling everything, he buys a motorcycle and plans a solo trip cross-country before leaving Canada for good. However, he has something to do before his journey can begin; attend his mother’s wedding in Pearl Lake.
Working at a printing company in Montreal, Destiny Tremblay comes across a brochure for the newly opened Inn at Pearl Lake. She travels there to look for work under the guise of a fresh start, but that’s not the reason she’s interested in it. Destiny heard her ex-boyfriend was in the area. He didn’t steal her heart when he left, but he stole the only thing she loved, her cat Nala, an expensive breed. But Destiny needs to find him before her worst fears come true, that he sells her to the highest bidder.
Despite their trust issues, Lane and Destiny come together to search for Nala. Before long, sparks fly, but so do bullets, and they soon realize they’ve discovered more than they bargained for.
