Melody Bryant has heard it all before. Sure, she's the epitome of the stereotype for a librarian. Loves order. Loves rules and deadlines. Loves books. But what she doesn't love is still being a virgin at twenty-four. Unfortunately, the only guy she's ever been interested in turned her down flat. And then left town. Eight. Years. Ago. Ugh.
Now her birthday is fast approaching and she just can't take it any longer. She's finding a guy before her birthday in five weeks or she's adopting two more cats and fully embracing becoming 'the crazy cat lady.'
But when her latest date ends in epic failure-everyone thinks of her as the 'proper librarian,' she realizes what she needs is to ruin her reputation. And she knows the perfect guy to help her: the baddest bad boy in town. This Army vet won't know what hit him . . .
Contains mature themes.
When wizard detective Eric Naill is found stabbed to death behind the salon of hunky witch hair stylist Graeme "Gray" Quinn, it doesn't bode well for the Quinn clan. Especially when Gray's favorite golden shears appear to be the murder weapon.
With both the Council of Wizards and the police after him, Gray must prove his innocence before he and his cousins lose everything. But when his investigation reveals a link between Eric's death and a decades-old secret, things get complicated. The only way to get to the bottom of it is to seek the help of the one woman Gray is forbidden to get close to-Starla Knight.
Meeting with Starla could spark a feud that might change Silver Hollow forever. Only it's Gray's heart that may be the worst casualty.
A mysterious death brings Deputy DeeDee Clawson to the scene of a movie being filmed at an old mansion in Silver Hollow. Tucker Rockwood, the star of the movie, is found dead, a stake through his heart. Lots of people might have wanted to kill Tucker, but when DeeDee's investigation points in the direction of the movie's producer, Caine Hunter, she thinks she has her man.
As if investigating this murder isn't enough, DeeDee has something else hanging over her head. As the daughter of a werewolf pack leader, she has agreed to an arranged marriage. She hasn't even met her intended yet, but she's already starting to regret her agreement to enter into a loveless marriage . . . especially when her feelings toward Caine turn from suspicion to romance.
Caine Hunter has been smitten with feisty deputy Clawson since day one, but since DeeDee seems determined to arrest him for murder, he's pretty sure the feeling isn't mutual. Yet, he can't help but sense that DeeDee is fighting an inner attraction to him that she won't admit even to herself. Too bad that once she discovers his secret, she'll want to have nothing further to do with him.
As the investigation heats up and DeeDee's wedding day approaches, she turns to her four close witch friends, the Quinns, and their quirky familiars. There's only one way to get out of the looming marriage without risking being ostracized by her pack, and Gray Quinn is the only person that can help.
But when things take a dangerous turn with a surprise twist, will DeeDee risk it all and discover that love can be even more powerful than magic?
When Silver Hollow witch Adele Brundage curses the town with a plague of toads until her killer is found, Isolde Quinn and her cousins find themselves thrown into a dangerous world where someone will go to any lengths to keep a decades-old secret. Armed with their witchy powers and unconventional pet familiars, the Quinns set out on an investigation that puts them in the path of a dangerous killer who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.
And when that path intersects with hunky FBI agent Dex Nolan, it's a blessing and a curse. Issy has feelings for Dex, but can a lawman sworn to prosecute paranormals ever truly fall for a witch?
With the body count piling up-not to mention the toads-Issy has to take drastic action to expose the identity of the killer before they claim another victim.
