Book Description
The cards never lie…and this time, the truth is deadly. Four months into being a not-so-platonic couple, Selena Marx and Calvin Standingbear are getting into the spirit of Halloween in Globe, Arizona, complete with elaborate costumes. Selena’s even agreed — a bit hesitantly — to do a limited number of Tarot readings for her best friend Josie’s blowout Halloween bash. The party is going spookily well…until Selena’s reading for high school principal Danny Ortega. The cards don’t hold back about his less-than-savory dalliances, predicting that karma won’t be kind. In fact, karma strikes back before the party’s even over — as Danny drops dead. When Danny’s ghost asks Selena to uncover who killed him, she has no choice but to dig through his rather checkered romantic past for clues. All while taking the next step in her and Calvin’s relationship — meeting his parents. And if that’s not enough to make Selena want to dive head-first into a bowl full of Halloween chocolate, discovering the heartbreaking truth behind Danny’s death might be the final blow…. KEYWORDS: witch, warlock, wizard, sorcerer, psychic, medium, telepath, cop hero, sheriff, detective, police, tarot, crystal ball, wicca, small town romance, small town mystery, cat mystery, magic spell, curse, fish out of water, opposites attract, cozy mystery, cozy cat mystery, cozy witch mystery

Book Description
Their battle for survival becomes a battle for her heart…. In the harsh landscape of a world reborn from the ashes of a djinn-created apocalypse, Rowan Aames has carved out a life of solitary resilience in a remote valley in the northern New Mexico wilderness, where the arrival of Jamal al-Qadir challenges everything she knows. Disguised as James Aguilar, Jamal brings with him the promise of a new beginning…and the peril of a deep secret. Their connection is immediate, a fragile thread woven from shared solitude and cautious trust. As Rowan welcomes James into her makeshift haven, they navigate the complexities of a world where survival is a day-to-day gamble, and companionship is a rare treasure. James’s small acts of magic, meant to ease Rowan’s burden, become the catalyst for a change neither of them can ignore. Yet beneath the surface of their growing bond lies the tension of James’s true identity and the inevitable revelation that could shatter their fragile trust. When Jamal steps in to save Rowan’s life, a sudden, rash decision propels them into the crosshairs of djinn politics and human pride, where their journey becomes a delicate dance of love and deception, with the future of their relationship hinging on the courage to face the truth…and the strength to forge a new path together.

Book Description
The brew may be strong, but the secrets are stronger…. Welcome to Globe, Arizona, where the hops are fresh, the competition is frothy, and murder is on tap. The small town is buzzing with the news of the High Country Brewing Competition, an event that promises to stir more than just beer. But when the competition turns lethal and a contestant is found drowned in a vat meant for show, the town’s peaceful façade begins to crumble. Enter Selena, full-time witchy shopkeeper, part-time sleuth, whose knack for reading auras and Tarot cards sets her on the trail of the killer. She has less than two days to unveil the murderer who hides behind a masquerade of friendly faces and handcrafted ales. Every clue, aura, and turn of a Tarot card points Selena deeper into a mystery where jealousy ferments into malice. As Selena navigates through the motley crew of brewers — each with more to hide than their secret recipes — the stakes soar higher than the foam on a pint of IPA. From illicit affairs to shady deals with drug dealers, the suspects’ list grows longer than the beer list at a taproom. And when Selena’s own shop is vandalized, it’s clear that she’s rattling someone’s cage — and that she may be closing in on a truth more bitter than the darkest stout. Pour yourself into a chair and crack open this cozy paranormal mystery, where the clues are as puzzling as an ancient ale recipe and solving the crime is as intricate as brewing the perfect beer. Will Selena uncover the murderer before the last call, or will the killer’s identity remain as elusive as a ghostly whisper among the barrels? In Globe, the truth is just a sip away….

Book Description
A storm can cover her tracks…or lead the wolves straight to her door. With the help of his witch clan, Jake Wilcox is looking forward to a happy future with Addie Grant, the woman he’s falling for. There’s just one thing missing: Addie. Sometime in the night, she up and left. He can guess why — she’d sacrifice almost anything to avoid causing her newfound family any trouble. But the big question is, where did she go? Addie dutifully went along with the Wilcox clan’s plan to protect her from Randall Lenz, the government operative bent on harnessing her weather magic for not-so-noble purposes. But in the back of her mind, a voice insists that as long as she stays in Arizona, the greater the danger to Jake and the Wilcox witch clan. Heart breaking, Addie listens to her inner nomad and goes where the wind takes her — a place where no government, no witch, not even Jake can find her. But there are two factors working against her desire to remain hidden: her love for Jake…and the magic that, when danger flares like a wildfire, she has no choice but to unleash.

Book Description
When the past blows into town, a witch goes along for the ride. Surprises aren’t Skye O’Malley’s favorite thing, but this gloomy February is full of them. Fix My Town, a reality renovation show, has set its sights on Skye’s little coffee shop — and won’t take her emphatic “no” for an answer. Worse, the producers are staying in the same rental that was the scene of a murder just a few months earlier. A harbinger of things to come? Skye begins to wonder…especially when an apparition from the past blows into town. Alicia Petrucci, who abandoned Skye as a baby, is back to teach Skye the ways of Petrucci family magic. Skye would like to throw her newly resurfaced mother out on her ear, but the temptation to strengthen her magic is hard to resist. With Alicia’s guidance, Skye’s true powers begin to emerge — along with the hope that she can build a relationship with the mother she never knew. But when one of the show’s producers is murdered and Alicia is accused of the crime, Skye will need more than tea leaves and dreams to prove her innocence. She’ll need to move mountains...and outrun the real killer before she becomes the next victim.

Book Description
They’ll have to fly faster than reindeer to rescue Santa…and save Christmas. Other than the pleasure of etching delicate tendrils of ice on windows, there’s not much Kai Ulfsen enjoys about life under Jack Frost’s rule. But when he’s roped into serving on a strike team to kidnap Santa and destroy Christmas, Kai’s had enough. Frost must be stopped. Human witches, the only other beings on Earth with magical powers, are his only hope. He never expected his search would lead him a woman with sky-blue eyes and hair like a river of gold. Stella Monroe is five minutes away from closing up her tea shop for the holiday when a vision of Nordic male perfection fills the doorway. And, even more surreal, this beautiful man with silver hair, aquamarine eyes, and…pointed ears?...needs her help. Granted, she flies the fastest broom at the Witch Olympics, but is her magic equal to a task like this? But maybe with a little luck — and a bag of pixie dust — Kai and Stella can beat the clock, beat Frost at his own game, and save the happiest holiday of the year.

Book Description
Project Demon Hunters is what you might get if you mashed The X-Files and The Conjuring movies together, then threw in secrets, lies, a dollop of unresolved sexual tension, and scenes that’ll make you think twice about reading in the house alone! This boxed set includes the first three books in the Project Demon Hunters series: Unquiet Souls On the surface, psychologist Audrey Barrett is the perfect co-host for Michael Covenant’s new cable series, Project Demon Hunters. There’s just one problem. Michael has made it his mission to stay out of her orbit. After the tragedy that took her parents, Audrey keeps herself on the fringe of the paranormal world. But with her small therapy practice floundering, the money the show’s offering is too good to pass up. But when they step inside a rundown mansion, things start flying. Worse, evil follows Audrey home — and she discovers why Michael is the last man she should let herself trust. Unbound Spirits When Audrey fails to show up in Tucson to film the second episode of Project Demon Hunters, Michael’s sense of foreboding is confirmed when his psychic gift pinpoints the exact spot where she was kidnapped. No telling where she is now. Audrey is shocked her kidnapper is the demon she and Michael just killed—or so she thought. In revenge for their closing his personal portal to hell, he plans to crush Audrey’s throat. Like a homing beacon, Audrey’s soul reaches out for Michael, but he fears that even if he reaches her in time, this fight isn’t over. Unholy Ground Audrey Barrett tries to play hero while filming Project Demon Hunters but fails — at a terrible cost. Now the network has pulled the plug on the show, and they’re all out of a job. At least she still has Michael safely at her side. But as they tie up loose ends, they come across clear signs that the demon that’s been making their lives miserable isn’t through with them after all. Now they have no choice but to confront evil on its own turf…and not even an ocean of holy water will help them.
