Book Description
Miriam Diaz has lived as a suburban mom on Seattle's Eastside for the past seventeen years. She serves on the parent teacher association, bakes for her daughter's cheer squad, and is an all-around champion stay-at-home mom. Pretty average and totally boring, and Miriam likes it that way. All the better to hide her sordid past.When a hellhound shows up in her neighbor's begonias, and Miriam banishes the stinky mutt back to where it came from, she let her evil ex know she's still alive and kicking?and likely in possession of something she stole from him.Miriam doesn't only have trouble brewing from below. The banishment also alerts the supernatural cops. When a gorgeous alpha of the shifter pack starts sniffing around her hedges, Miriam fears the news might go all the way to the archangel that she isn't a latent but a full-blown witch. Miriam isn't a registered supernatural and for a good reason, she's hiding something big from the authorities above and below.All of the commotion threatens the veil hiding the separating the mundanes and the supes. Miriam might just have to come out of the supernatural closet to save the world. Again.

Pages : 334
Book Description
I'm what you call normal by day, and woo woo by night. As a college student, I spend my days in class and my evenings selling sage to PTA moms who do moon rituals to manifest better parking spaces. My best friend is a cat who likes pizza, and a "night out" includes hand delivering mysterious packages to the local "coven" of small business owners that repeatedly invite me to their meetings-clothing optional. My life is weird. But it's not magic. Magic isn't real. At least, that's what I believed- right up until the moment he walks into my store. Alex Channing is rude, brutish, and a constant pain in my ass. He's also the hottest specimen I've ever seen. Maybe that's why words fail me in his presence. Or maybe it's the pinging feeling in my gut that says he's more than what he seems. But when he miraculously saves me from certain death, at the hand of a monster whose very existence shouldn't even be possible, I'm forced to reconsider what's real. My denial is strong but the reality of who-and what-Alex really is can't be ignored. Neither can the existence of the monsters who hunt me. The truth is, magic is real. And the only thing I'm more in danger of losing than my life-is my heart.
