Love can strike like lightning — but so can trouble.

Lightning doesn’t just strike twice for Adara Grant. It strikes all the time. She suffers a setback; the heavens open up. She gets bullied; a tornado flattens a barn. Addie’s mother has always found an excuse to move before whispers and stares morph into pitchforks, but Addie suspects there’s a connection.

She just doesn’t know how. Or why.

Jake Wilcox is a witch hunter — for a good cause. His pet project is a powerful data-mining program that detects lone witches when their gifts manifest, thus bringing these “orphaned” witches under the Wilcox clan’s protection.

When Jake follows a lead to tiny, remote Kanab, Utah, he discovers a young witch as wild and beautiful as a desert storm. But he’s not the only witch hunter in town, and in an instant, Jake and Addie are on the run from someone hungry to use her gift for evil.

Addie finds a new home and protection with the Wilcox clan, but as danger closes in like an icy storm front, she faces a heartbreaking choice to protect her newfound family — and the man she’s coming to love.

When the past steals her future, only one man can help her reclaim it.

Devynn Rowe never asked for her unpredictable gift of time travel. But when a fall in an abandoned mine shaft hurls her back to Jerome, Arizona, in 1926, she finds herself trapped in a world where her own witch clan — the Wilcoxes — are the mortal enemy of the McAllisters of Jerome.

Rescued by the handsome and kind warlock Seth McAllister, Devynn weaves a web of lies to protect her true identity. As she struggles to adapt to life a century before her time, she can’t ignore the growing attraction between them. But pursuing a relationship could unravel everything she’s fought to keep hidden.

Seth is drawn to the mysterious woman he found unconscious in the mine, even as his duties to his clan pull him in another direction. When family obligations thrust him into a dangerous world of bootlegging and deceit, he finds himself torn between loyalty and love.

As Devynn and Seth dance around their feelings and their secrets, the truth threatens to burn away all their illusions. But time is running out. A moment of violence changes everything…catapulting them into a situation more perilous than either could have imagined.

Some wounds can only be healed from the inside….

When a magical artifact yanks Roslyn Campbell from her quiet life at a Cottonwood clinic and deposits her in a decaying Victorian three states away, she finds the last person she expected: the Collector, the mysterious warlock who once terrorized her clan. He’s emaciated, dying, and surrounded by a hoard of volatile magical artifacts on the verge of detonation. Her instincts as a McAllister say run. Her instincts as a healer say stay. The healer wins.

Malachi Van Horn has survived banishment, homelessness, and a year trapped in a dimensional void. What he cannot survive is the collapse of his magic — not when four dozen dangerous artifacts depend on his wards to keep them contained. He needs the healer. He doesn’t need the inconvenient discovery that her steady hands and stubborn compassion are dismantling defenses no enemy has ever breached before.

Trapped together in a house full of secrets, Roslyn and Malachi forge an uneasy alliance that deepens into something neither of them planned. But with the Van Horn clan closing in to reclaim Malachi’s collection and a local clan growing hostile, their fragile sanctuary won’t hold forever. In the final book of the Witches of Mingus Mountain series, enemies become lovers, and two people who’ve spent their lives putting everyone else first must finally fight for something of their own.

Some legends are real. Some secrets are worth protecting. Sidney Lowell didn’t plan to return to Silver Hollow, her sleepy hometown nestled against ancient forests in Humboldt County. But when her mother and grandmother vanish without a trace while investigating the mysterious creatures that have appeared to the women in her family for generations, Sidney has no choice but to come home.

Almost finished with veterinary school but lacking her diploma, Sidney takes over the family pet shop while searching for answers. The magical beings that only appear to the women in her family might hold the key to her mother’s disappearance — if only she knew how to communicate with them.

Ben Sanders, a struggling cryptozoologist with a YouTube channel and a failed academic career, arrives in Silver Hollow chasing rumors of a glowing white horse in the woods. What he finds instead is Sidney — guarded, capable, and hiding secrets that could make his career…or destroy what’s left of her family legacy.

When a logging company threatens the ancient forest that serves as a crossing between worlds, Sidney and Ben must race to protect the magical gateway. As they uncover Celtic symbols carved into trees and standing stones that appear only during the dark of the moon, the truth becomes clear: Sidney’s missing family didn’t just disappear — they crossed over.

With the unicorn as their guide and corporate greed threatening to destroy the portal forever, Sidney must decide who to trust with her family’s centuries-old secret. Because saving the crossing might reunite her with her mother and grandmother…or seal them away in another world forever.

Some sacrifices demand everything. Some guardians become the fire that saves them all.

Sidney Lowell might have saved Silver Hollow from shadow stalkers and DAPI’s weaponized physics, but the cost of victory has shattered the balance she fought to protect. The portal network — stable for more than 150 years — no longer obeys the lunar cycle. The veil between dimensions has worn paper-thin, and something vast is stirring beneath the town.

Ignis Aeturnus. The Dragon. Ancient, powerful, and waking after centuries of sleep.

When billionaire Julian Gregory arrives with drilling rigs and electromagnetic weapons, intent on harvesting the Dragon’s energy for profit, Sidney realizes her telepathic abilities and merged phoenix nature have made her a beacon for forces she can’t control. The Dragon sees humanity as an infection rotting the dimensional network — and he’s given Sidney until the winter solstice to prove otherwise, or he’ll cauterize the wound by destroying everything she loves.

With Ben’s conduit scars tying him to her survival, her father Finn returning after seventeen years of surveillance and secrets, and her mother and grandmother still trapped beyond the portal, Sidney faces an impossible choice. She can gather an international council of guardians and attempt diplomatic solutions while Gregory’s mercenaries lay siege to her home…or she can do what guardians have always done: become the sacrifice that protects everyone else.
