This is the story of Roxy Sanderson, a good-natured young woman who finds love and magic in a beautifully quaint New England town.
An unwilling newcomer, Roxy has been forced to leave her friends and fast-paced city life to move into a small coastal community not found on any maps. Pleasant Town, as it's called, seems like a picture-perfect landscape of Americana. She marvels at the strange yet charming customs of the local townsfolk, the wholesome peculiarities of the place, and the wild-looking garden of an elderly, reclusive neighbor-a woman who town rumors say may be a witch.
Meanwhile, two attractive beaus have caught Roxy's eye: Vincent Richmont, the refined and immensely handsome son of bankers; and Jasper Hartley, a rugged, down-to-earth young woodworker, and heir to his grandfather's mysterious apothecary. Both young men offer Roxy a chance for romance, but each on very different terms. To choose between them, she must learn to trust her own good sense and fortitude, as well as the enchanting ways of love, wherever they may lead her.
In this spellbinding tale of beauty, youth, and sweet relationships, one girl works hard to find happiness in unexpected places.

Jinxed | A Halloween Romance | Coven Corner #1
Sky Sangrey is not a powerful witch by any stretch of the imagination. She divines the future from reading tea leaves for her clients. She doesn't even have to cast a spell to do it. When a new magic shop, Spellbound, opens two blocks away from her tearoom, it causes quite a stir of excitement in the sleepy little town of Wildemoor, Massachusetts. But it's not the contents that attracts so much attention. It's the handsome owner, Aiden Hall, that has everyone talking. He used to be an influential warlock in New York but no one seems to know the reason why he picked up and moved to quaint, quiet Wildemoor. Sky avoids Aiden and his shop for as long as she can. She has a horrible habit of getting tongue-tied around people she finds attractive. Not to mention, Aiden is far more skilled with magic than she has ever been. No, if Sky paid a visit to Spellbound to catch a glimpse of Aiden Hall's good looks, she is sure it would be utter disaster. But Wildemoor is a small town and she can't avoid him forever. So when Sky finally sets foot in Aiden's shop, her worst fears come true. She accidentally casts a love spell over Aiden. Now he's in love with her - the handsome, powerful warlock, head over heels for the frumpy little tea witch around the corner. And Sky knows she has to break the spell, sooner rather than later. But all she really wants to do is enjoy the fantasy while it lasts.Complete![His Sinful Heiress [Mature Read]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/354999785-256-k879934.jpg)

His life takes an abrupt turn, when his childless older brother commits suicide, making him the next Duke of Grantchester. Yet that's a minor obstacle compared to the fact that he'll also have to marry to keep the money in the family... Miss Sabrina Hartley has New York at her feet... and perhaps all of America!

Despite her best friend's warnings, Sabrina somewhat naively sets off to see if she can be happy in England... ...only to discover to her dismay that Henry is a cold and starchy man, his family reject her out of hand, and even the weather is dreadful almost every day! Will she find a way to her husband's heart or will she fulfill her darkest and most forbidden fantasies in the secret embrace of someone else?Complete
