Sunshineandgrump Stories

Tucked into the Appalachian foothills with deep Kentucky roots sits a tiny, chicken obsessed, magical hamlet. Welcome to Belvoir County, biggest cocks in Kentucky. Nestled in the misty hollers of Kentucky lies Belvoir County, a magical small town where spellwork is stitched into everyday life-and chickens are more than just poultry. With the biggest cocks in the state (literally and magically), this quirky hamlet is in danger and something wicked is plucking its way through the local breeders. Merle is a brooding wizard on the hunt for elder magic, the kind that predates the academy and whispers secrets through ley lines and moonlight. But his research leads him to Pandora, a curvy, archivist with a talent for keeping rain off her clothes. She may be everything he doesn't want-and exactly what he needs. As spells unravel, chickens vanish, and ancient forces stir, Merle knows the truth and needs and Pandora to save everyone. But with sparks flying, potions misfiring, and one very aggressive rooster on the loose, will they save the town with their magical mischief? Packed with magical hijinks, witchy romance, and a heroine who knows her curves are just as powerful as her intuition, Fowl Things is perfect for fans of paranormal small-town series, found family, and a little feather-fueled chaos.

Ten years ago, Sloane asked the golden boy of their school to go out with her. He laughed. In front of everyone. She swore she'd never give Cole power over her again. Now she's back for their ten-year reunion-older, sharper, thriving in a life she built without him. And Cole? Still golden. Still infuriating. Still looking at her like she hung the moon. When a run-in with their old classmates forces them to pretend they're together, Sloane agrees-strictly for convenience, strictly temporary, strictly not falling for him again. But fake dating turns into stolen glances, almost-moments, hallway confessions, and a wildfire chemistry that's been simmering for a decade. And when Cole finally tells her the truth-that he loved her back then and was too scared to admit it-it shatters everything she thought she knew. Now Sloane has to decide: **Can she trust the man who broke her heart at seventeen...
