Once upon a future-time, in a city of steel, concrete, and Magick, a wicked queen trapped a mighty warrior with a curse …

In the tiny village of Somer, far from the city, Cherie knows nothing of the evil spell. Her home is a safe, Magickal place. The Fae travel freely along its roads, Magickal humans and animals are welcome, and everyone is hidden from the Queen’s sight by Jack Frost, the local ghost, who blurs the Queen’s mirror with snow and ice.

But when Jack’s spell begins to crack, the Queen’s eyes fall on Somer. Nothing will keep her from abducting all of Somer’s Magickals, not even a war with the Fae.

To avert a war, save her village–and herself–Cherie strikes a perilous bargain. Aided only by Jack and her own small Magick, she’ll set off on a quest … If she fails, she’ll lose more than her life.

A retelling of Snow White with Urban Magick, plenty of folklore, and a Princess Charming. Perfect for fans of Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and Spinning Silver.

He’s a being of immense power and dark secrets…she’s the key to his redemption.

Sarah Wolfe thought her dreams died with the rest of the world when the Djinn unleashed the Heat. Now she’s just another survivor in the protected community of Los Alamos, her voice silenced by grief and guilt. But when a scouting mission goes awry, Sarah finds herself captive in the isolated sanctuary of Ghost Ranch.

Her captor is Abdul, a mysterious being who’s not quite djinn, not quite human. Scarred and solitary, he’s determined to keep his existence a secret. But as Sarah’s golden voice fills the air and her gentle spirit touches his heart, Abdul finds himself drawn to the very humanity he once shunned.

As their connection deepens, Sarah uncovers shocking truths about Abdul’s past. Now she must decide if she can accept the unacceptable and love a being who carries the weight of unimaginable choices.

The survivors of Los Alamos are desperate to find Sarah, and the djinn elders are closing in. As external pressures mount, Sarah and Abdul’s fragile bond faces its ultimate test. Their love must overcome the wounds of the past and bridge the divide between humans and djinn…if they hope to forge a future together in this changed world.

This special-edition boxed set contains three complete first-in-series witchy paranormal cozy mystery novels:

GRAVE MISTAKE

When you pull up stakes, make sure you don’t get stabbed in the back.

Hedgewitch Selena runs to Arizona to escape Lucien, a slimy, celebrity-schmoozing sorcerer. Just as she’s meeting the locals — including hunky Calvin Standingbear — Lucien tracks her down…then disappears. And when one of Lucien’s acolytes is killed, Selena and Calvin race against time before a too-close-for-comfort evil cuts her own life short.

CAFFEINE BEFORE CURSES

When a movie shoot ends in murder, a caffeine fix might be the star’s only hope.

Skye O’Malley’s witch powers are nothing special. But when a film crew comes to town, they’re put to the test when the film’s star — her unrequited crush — is accused of murder. Max Sullivan needs a miracle, but if Skye’s tea leaves are too murky, a killer could get away clean.

SPELLS AND SPANIELS

Something’s got a spaniel familiar’s tongue…and it isn’t a cat.

When an influential witch is found dead and her familiar, a spell-silenced spaniel named Milo, is attacked, Charity Hughes calls on handsome local veterinarian Noah Jenkins — and her familiar-whisperer gift — to race against time to find out why someone wants the spaniel to remain silent as the grave…permanently.

Seven months ago, goddess magic allowed me, the very human Marigold Everlee, to have a couple of sizzling nights with the very paranormal Zev. He was tall, dark, and smoking hot.

Literally. He’s an ifrit–a fire-magic-wielding djinn.

Spoiler alert: When the goddess magic poofed—so did Zev.

Yeah. I was ghosted after he promised me, he’d be back. His disappearance turned my heart to ash. But you know what? I’m middle-aged and marvelous, baby. Crying over spilled magic isn’t going to change what happened to my one-sided love connection.

I have new aspirations: being the best bad-ass witch possible. My new bestie is teaching me the ways of eclectic magic, and I’m throwing all my energy into the process. I’ve always been a little hippy-dippy, so using my crystals and herbs for spell work should come naturally to me, right?

Wrong.

Just when I think I’m getting the hang of potions, a fire spell blows up in my face, leaving a cryptic message scorched into my kitchen cabinets.

From Zev. What the what!?

It seems Zev didn’t want to disappear after all.

I may be a magical mess, but no one gets away with hurting the people I love, including my stubborn, sarcastic, sexy genie.

Watch out, world. This girl is on fire. Get out of the way … or get burned.

Who is Professor Croft?

If he sat beside you on the subway, you might notice his disheveled coat and burnt satchel, but you’d have no idea he was New York’s hardest-working mage (or that his cat talked).

Never properly trained, he’s been learning on the job. Outwitting vampires, wrestling werewolves, banishing powerful demons – all while holding down a teaching gig. But wizarding and wisecracking are in his blood, and he’ll do whatever it takes to protect his city, even if he mashes a few toes along the way. Watch your feet.

If you like occult action, spell-crackling suspense, and moments of heart, heroism, and all-out laughter, you’ll love the quarter-million selling Prof Croft series!

Seven hundred years ago, the Knights of the Ordained banished the demon, Asmeodai.

Buried deep beneath Wahi Tapu Temple, the evil becomes a distant memory.

For those seven hundred years, Asmeodai seethed in hatred for those that condemned him to this hell. He has survived only for his chance to enact his revenge.

Now, though, the time of the Secundus has come again. With the rising of the second moon comes the fear of Asmeodai’s re-emergence. The aftermath of the last Secundus saw the once-great Jornada Empire splintered into three realms. Moreover, the Knights of the Ordained are not what they once were. But all is not lost. There is hope. There are those born who are ordained to fight this evil.

Their destiny will not be denied.
