Between the town of Fayet suing them for magical appropriation, a looming budget crisis, and the butt cheek bandit’s reign of terror, the last thing Felix needs is to be saddled with his delinquent sister’s urchins over the holidays. And he certainly doesn’t have time to deal with Liam Montgomery trying to make amends for suggesting the disastrous “polycule proposal” that broke Felix’s heart senior year.

Meanwhile, a new threat is rising, putting all of Havers in danger. To face it, Felix and Liam have to put their differences aside. Because if they can’t, it’s not just the town that’s in jeopardy, it’s everyone they love, and Jena and Chase will be the first to fall.

What readers are saying:

If you want a romance with family drama and magic then this is the book to read. – Sandra, Goodreads

 

Weres and Warlocks was everything I hoped it would be. My sweet baby Felix finally got his happily ever after after all, not that there wasn't some bumps along the way.
Such a great little holiday read. It has a little bit of everything in it. Some spice, some yearning, a little bit of magic, found family, and I love a good animal sidekick. I stayed up until 2am this morning to finish it because I couldn't go another day without knowing how it ends.

-In a world of ink, Goodreads

 

I highly recommend reading this, especially if you like magic/paranormal books – Kerry Batchelor

When witch Jena Seymore returns home to Havers-by-the-Sea to care for her dying aunt, old town politics and prejudices are rekindled. Between the local Westside Pack’s vendetta against her family and the coven pressuring Jena to become guardian of the magical node outside of town, she has enough problems without adding Chase Montgomery to the mix.

But Chase has plenty of problems of his own, and how to make amends with Jena and win her heart is at the top of the list. Unbeknownst to his pack, Jena is his fated mate, and after her leaving town the first time almost killed him, he’s not letting her get away again—no matter what the backlash might be.

And meanwhile, the node is turning wild, jeopardizing Havers-by-the Sea's existence as tensions threaten to tear it apart from within. Deep-seated small town secrets could hold the key to its future—but only if they’re discovered before Samhain, when the blue moon rises.

I was almost at the exit when a hand grabbed my wrist.

At first, I thought it was a pushy homeless person asking for money.

They do that sometimes.

So, instead of screaming my head off, like a normal woman, I used a go-away spell.

Something designed to make humans leave you alone, no matter the situation.

One of the first spells a magician learns.

But, nothing happened.

The grip around my wrist got tighter. The fingers dug into my flesh. Hurting me.

Panic surged through my body.

This shouldn’t have been possible.

At the same time my body began to feel heavy and weak. Like I’d been drugged.

“Get off me,” I said, though my voice sounded distant, like it was coming from down a very long tunnel.

I tried another spell. But, still nothing. Like a light switch had been flipped off.

“Where is it?” the man hissed.

His voice was horrible. Like nails on chalkboard.

I looked into his face and for the first time saw the person who was attacking me.

Except, he wasn't a person at all.

He wasn't even a human.

There were two black holes where his eyes should have been. His skin was a horrible green-grey colour. Tight against his bones.

“Where is it?” he repeated, close enough for me to smell his breath.

It smelled of death.

“Where’s what?” I said. “Let go of me!”

But the weakness was growing. I was having difficulty keeping my eyes open.

My tongue felt like a big, fat walrus laying down in my mouth.

Before I knew it, I was on the ground. The thing was on top of me. Pinning me down so hard I could barely breathe.

I was sure I was going to die.

If only I'd stayed in bed with Blake, I thought. None of this would be happening.

“Blake,” I whispered.

“Where is it?” the monster snarled. “Tell me!”

Tears started running down my cheeks.

I turned to look him in the eyes. Not that he had any. But maybe he'd believe me if he could see I really meant it.

“I don’t know,” I said, “you’ve got the wrong person!”

He made a ghastly, whistling sound.

I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing for the worst. But suddenly his hand let go of my wrist.

The weakness disappeared, and the weight that had been pinning me down vanished.

Carefully, I opened my eyes and saw the monster standing beside me, wobbling gently from side to side, his hands covering his ears.

There was a man holding him by the collar.

A huge, tall man wearing a top hat and a tuxedo. Like he was just on his way to a wedding.

Even in the rain I could see the ice blue of his eyes.

Piercing and deadly.

“Canum sali luet ria, pani rostum luet si,” he bellowed, casting a spell, “Canum sali luet ria, pani rostum luet si.”

The words kept getting faster and faster. He spoke with a powerful, rhythmic venom.

Then, in one swift movement, he punched his fist straight through the monster’s chest.

His hand came out the other side holding its heart.

I turned my head away, afraid. And when I looked back they had disappeared.

Both of them. Without a trace.

Edgar Thorn writes fast-paced urban fantasy set in modern London, blending magic, danger, and dark humour.

Sharon C. Cooper Surrendering to You Book Tour and Giveaway

 

His betrayal cost him the only woman he has ever loved. 

Now, he’s determined to win her back.

Surrendering To You

Priestly Family Series Book 3

by Sharon C. Cooper

Genre: Contemporary Romance

His betrayal cost him the only woman he has ever loved. Now, he’s determined to win her back.

 

On the football field Tristan Whitmore might be an MVP, but after a recent career-ending injury, his world is flipped upside down. He takes little comfort in his many NFL achievements and a bank account bulging with more money than he could ever spend. His life feels like it’s over… until he reconnects with the one woman he’s never forgotten. Too bad she hates him.

 

Entertainment lawyer, Cree Priestly is not the forgiving type. Betray her once, and you’re dead to her. Which is why Tristan will never get a second chance with her. She lost too much the last time he charmed her into falling in love with him. Letting that happen again would make her a fool. But when he kisses her, all the buried memories of love, desire, and passionate nights come rushing back.

 

But can Cree afford to surrender her heart to Tristan again? Or are some betrayals impossible to move past?

“Oh boy. Don’t look now, but your—”

“He’s not my anything,” Cree ground out. “And I think this is a good time to end our visit. I need to get going anyway. We can talk about Dorian’s wedding later.”

“Cree, stop. Just talk to him. It’s been years, and you both deserve some closure.”

“I got closure when I told him to lose my damn telephone number and to go to hell.”

Cree knew she was being a jerk, but Tristan was still a sore topic with her. Seeing him again brought back too many memories, and they weren’t all good.

She gathered her large bag, which doubled as a purse and laptop carrier, and then she grabbed her trash.

“I’m out of here,” she said and blew her sister a kiss before walking away.

If Cree was lucky, she might be able to slip past Tristan without him seeing her. He’d been forced to retire from the NFL, the National Football League, after an injury, and she’d heard he had moved back to Chicago.

God, she hoped that wasn’t true. They probably traveled in the same circles, and that would mean there was a good chance she’d run into him more than she’d prefer.

Taking advantage of the crowd that surrounded him, Cree moved around the perimeter of the space and kept her head down while making her way to the door. She had barely touched the handle before she jolted from the feel of a large hand on her hip.

She froze, but not before a zap of energy flowed through her body at his touch. She knew that touch. Hell, she’d feel that touch even if she had on three layers of clothing. Tristan had always had that effect on her.

 “Cree, wait. We need to talk,” he said by way of greeting. His deep baritone sent goosebumps racing over her skin. She didn’t want to talk, and she sure as hell didn’t want to look at him, but she had to.

When she turned to face him, anger nipped at every nerve in her body. Damn him for looking so good. He was still the finest man on the face of the planet with honey-brown skin, eyes the color of almonds with flecks of gold around his irises, and twin dimples in his cheeks.

As if knowing she was admiring his beautiful face, he amped up his smile, and she cursed under her breath.

Damn those twin dimples. The ones deep enough in his cheeks to stick her fingers in. And damn him for flashing them so freely in public knowing they were babe magnets.

“We have nothing to talk about,” she spat, anger lacing the words.

“On the contrary, baby. We have a lot to discuss.”

Cree turned from him and moved just beyond the threshold, but he held on to the back of her jacket while he stood in the doorway. He didn’t seem to care he was blocking the entrance, keeping anyone from entering or exiting. The small crowd that had formed around him minutes ago was still there, vying for the attention of the other former NFL player whose name had slipped her mind.

As for Tristan, Cree didn’t want to talk to him. That would only encourage him to keep showing up everywhere she went.

No, she needed to stay as far away from the man as possible. His presence was a hindrance to her peace of mind. It was because of him that she had trust issues, especially when it came to men. He was the reason she had taken on the motto—don’t let anyone get too close because in the end they’ll only betray you.

“The old Cree didn’t run from anything,” he said, his voice lowered. “Yet, you’ve run from me twice in a matter of weeks.”

Her jaw clenched and unclenched. “The old Cree would’ve already kneed you in the balls to make you release my jacket. Either let me go or...”

Tristan flinched, then quickly released her jacket and chuckled. “I see you’re still mean as hell.” The words weren’t spoken in a negative way. There was humor in his tone and in his eyes. “Please,” he said, all humor wiped from his face. “I really do need to talk to you.”

Cree searched his eyes and saw the sincerity in them. She almost gave in to his request until she remembered—she hated him.

“There’s nothing for us to discuss. As a matter of fact, forget you ever saw me, and if you see me out and about, don’t even look at me.

“And on that note, goodbye, Tristan.”

Now all she had to do was forget she’d ever seen him. Which might be easier said than done.

Don’t miss the rest of the series! They can be read as standalones!
