She came back for answers. He’s the problem she never saw coming. Elowen Returning to Midnight Creek was never part of the plan—but when my aunt vanishes without a trace, I have no choice. Her beloved magical bookstore is unraveling, the town is on edge, and the infuriating werewolf next door won’t stop getting in my way. Rudy Kane is gruff, overprotective, and way too tempting for his own good. But the deeper I dig into her disappearance, the more I uncover a growing darkness in Midnight Creek—one that feeds on blood magic and broken bonds. And the more I I don’t just need Rudy’s help. I might need him. Rudy Witches mean trouble, and I’ve spent years keeping my distance—until Elowen storms back into town, all fire and fury, shattering my quiet existence. She’s stubborn enough to go toe-to-toe with me, reckless enough to dive headfirst into danger, and powerful enough to throw my instincts into chaos. Midnight Creek isn’t safe anymore. Supernatural tensions are rising, blood magic is twisting the town’s balance, and if Elowen and I don’t work together, we won’t just lose her aunt—we’ll lose everything. But protecting her means letting her in. And if I let myself get any closer to the one woman I can’t resist, I might lose myself in the process. Perfect for fans of steamy paranormal romance, supernatural intrigue, and snarky banter.
