Magic is real. Ghosts are real. Eva Booker deals with the consequences as she always does. Having turned away from her criminal life at long last, Eva is starting with a clean slate in the small California town of Santa Margarita Cortona, along with her twin brother and a surprise niece. It's a decent life, even though the mistakes of her past have her scanning for threats all the time. But when her boss's young son drowns under mysterious circumstances, paranormal forces threaten to tear her fragile peace apart. Again. It can't be a coincidence that the Cult of La Llorona has come to town. Desperate to uncover the truth and protect her niece from becoming next in a line of missing children, Eva grudgingly reaches out to the only people who can help: her old acquaintances, celebrity paranormal investigator couple Nathan and Jamie, who helped countless people with their supernatural troubles in their hit web series Witchcraft Wednesday Investigations. Problem is, Nathan and Jamie left their series behind - for cushy jobs, a life of wealth and fame, and possibly some stupid secret reason they stubbornly refuse to share. And Eva setting up an investigation with them is bound to reopen years-old wounds on all sides. Forced together by tragic circumstances, Eva, Nathan and Jamie face a suspicious cult, the wicked weeping spirit it worships, and the many past and present grievances threatening their search for a killer. But can their uneasy coalition withstand an investigation demanding life-or-death sacrifice? ~Book three in the Witchcraft Wednesday Investigations trilogy, sequel to #FreakshowFriday~

"We cannot be togther!" Remus shook his head vigorously. "Never in a million years!" "And why not, love?" Amane smirked, taking a step further at the brown haired boy. He took a step back. "Because... we're supposed to be enemies." _ A dark, slow-burn, character-driven, gothic romantic suspense set in the Wizarding World with the warm, whimsical Hogwarts charm in the background. ▪ I do not own Harry Potter or the Wizarding World. It belongs to J.K. Rowling and all credit goes to her. I only own some of the characters I made up on my own for the story. And I would also like to mention that while I absolutely love the Harry Potter books and were a big part of my childhood (and unashamedly in adulthood as well), I certainly DO NOT support any of Rowling's views on transgender community in any shape or form. I thoroughly condemn her transphobic remarks and her trans-exclusionary writings. _

She writes love stories. But she wasn't expecting to live in one. After a near-death encounter with a rogue sedan (and a golden retriever named Waffles), burned-out writer Harper Lin wakes up in the arms of a man who seems suspiciously familiar. Like...fictionally familiar. As in: she's pretty sure she wrote him once. Convinced she's either losing her mind or manifesting her own love life through caffeine-fueled Google Docs, Harper sets out to test a theory: if her meet-cutes are coming to life, maybe fate's giving her a second chance at magic. Or maybe she's just concussed. Armed with stubborn hope, a laptop full of chaotic drafts, and her best friend who is so not emotionally equipped for this rollercoaster, Harper dives headfirst into a string of real-world romcom scenarios-from grocery store flirtations to coffee shop disasters-trying to figure out if the universe is meddling... or if she's finally cracked under the pressure of writing the perfect love story.

Three years after losing her husband, Maggie Parker has learned how to keep moving-one mile, one memory, one quiet morning at a time. Running used to be her joy; now it's her refuge, the only place she can still hear her heartbeat. When she considers joining a local training group to prepare for a 15k, she meets Matt Marino-younger, confident, and disarmingly kind. He runs like the world belongs to him, and somehow, when he looks at Maggie, she starts to believe it could belong to her too. What begins as friendship and flirty pursuit-shared miles and sidelong smiles-builds into something that stirs every part of her she thought had gone still. But opening her heart again means facing the grief she's outrun for too long...and daring to love someone who challenges everything she thought she wanted. As the race approaches, Maggie must decide if she's brave enough to step into a future that's faster, freer, and far more uncertain than the past she left behind. Because sometimes, the finish line isn't the end- It's where you find your second wind.

"Incompletion is the very thing that makes a love story complete." He said it - calmly, rationally - but somewhere deep inside, he hoped it wasn't true. He was logical, precise - a man who dissected his way to truth. She was sharp, intuitive - a girl who felt her way through the world, and sometimes, beyond it. Both carried their pasts like shadows stitched to their skin. One was still hiding. The other, still healing. When they met, something unfolded - not like fireworks, but like a quiet room filling slowly with light.

Turns out, my enemy is the same anonymous stranger I spent one reckless, unforgettable night with. Now he's not just the man I'm forced to marry.

Hailey Baker doesn't do weddings. She doesn't do small talk, dancing in public, or flying--ever. She prefers her feet on the ground, her heart locked up, and her sarcasm sharp enough to keep everyone at arm's length. Enter Charlie Wilder. Air Force pilot. Best man with a questionable mustache. As a certified golden retriever, he barrels through life with laughter, charm, and zero chill. He's the exact type Hailey swore off--persistent, ridiculous, too handsome for his own good... and annoyingly hard to ignore. After one unforgettable kiss cut short, fate throws them back together. Charlie is determined to prove he's more than a reckless playboy, and his relentless pursuit is equal parts infuriating and irresistible. But behind his sunshine smile is a man with secrets of his own. She doesn't do love. He doesn't do serious. But the chemistry between them? That might just take off-whether Hailey's ready to fly or not.
