But when the worst storm in decades strands her in Lord Greymount's gloomy castle, Bettany soon discovers that her presence there may bring some long-hidden secrets to light, secrets that could cost her more than just her heart.... (Book 7 of the Tales of the Latter Kingdoms) Author’s Note: While this is the seventh book in this series, all Tales of the Latter Kingdoms novels are written as standalone romances and can be read in any order.

Unlocking her family secrets could be a double-edged sword… Magic isn’t one size fits all. Every family has its own unique brand, so it helps to know your family history. Mine? It’s pretty much a blank, so predicting what my lodestone gift will do next is a not-so-fun game. Case in point: On the heels of learning that both my ex-husband and a previously unknown half-brother died the exact same way, a gorgeous silver and turquoise necklace lands in my life. A necklace that fairly vibrates with power when I touch it. Coincidence? I don’t think so. The message? Clear as mud. Isaac Zamora, male witch and ultimate slow-burn romantic, thinks I should sleep on it. I mean, literally. I’d rather he was the one sharing my bed, but until I figure things out, following his lead is probably the better idea. From urban pawn shops to lonely red rock canyons, my visions lead us on a merry chase. But this enchanted journey is fraught with demons. And the one I find waiting for me around the next twist and turn is going to take more than holy water to vanquish….

When a witch changes lanes without signaling, the result is magical mayhem… It’s not a date. At least, that’s what Skye O’Malley tells herself when A-list actor Max Sullivan invites her to their hometown's annual harvest festival. He’s just grateful she helped him clear his name of murder charges, that’s all. It’s a friendly, platonic outing, as innocent as a batch of pumpkin chocolate-chunk muffins. Until they make a grisly discovery in the corn maze. A dead body. And not just any dead body — it’s the town’s mayor. The last thing Skye needs is to get tangled up in another murder case, especially considering her unreliable psychic skills. But Max has such unwavering faith in her potential, she reluctantly consults her tea leaves. Which show her nothing but…good luck symbols? Maybe it's time to push her boundaries a little. However, consulting YouTube for spellcasting how-to videos probably wasn’t Skye's best choice. Because not only does she now have a highly annoyed talking cat to deal with, a murderer has taken notice of her activities. And will stop at nothing to remind her she should have stayed in her own lane….

Is this her dream job…or a nightmare waiting to happen? Desperate for cash, Katherine Wheeler skims Craigslist for a job — any job. When her eye lands on what looks like a too-good-to-be-true office assistant job, she’s too broke to heed her misgivings. Within minutes, she has an interview scheduled. Behind the green door of Pyramid Imports, Pieter Van Rijn’s piercing blue eyes and rugged features nearly stop Katherine in her tracks. Before she knows it, she has $2,000 a week, the keys to a brand-new company car, and a perfect-gentleman boss who oozes sex appeal. But almost before the end of her first day, red flags start flying in all directions, clues that seem completely at odds with the man who treats her like a rare and precious find, whose eyes flash with jealousy when another man shows an interest. As the sexual tension between them ratchets up, questions clamor ever louder in the back of Katherine's mind. Is the man who entices her with brief touches and a single, searing kiss everything he seems to be…or should she run like the wind?
