Gretta Bowerson came home to Harvest Moon Hollow with one goal: save her grandmother’s struggling inn before someone turns generations of family history into another boutique hotel.
There’s just one problem.
The town’s famous ghost walk no longer stops at the Hollow House.
And the man holding the clipboard is Drew Kemp—the boy who kissed Gretta beneath the lanterns years ago and disappeared before sunrise.
Drew has spent years making himself useful to a town that never quite forgot his family’s scandal. He knows every permit, every festival secret, and exactly how to make a ghost appear in an upstairs window.
Gretta isn’t supposed to know that last part.
But when the Hollow House suddenly starts haunting itself, bookings pour in, tourists crowd the porch, and old feelings become considerably harder to keep buried. Because Drew isn’t only hiding the truth about the Weeping Bride.
He’s hiding what really happened the night he kissed Gretta goodbye.
Now Harvest Moon Hollow is buzzing, the ghosts are getting ambitious, and two people who have spent years leaving things unsaid are running out of places to hide.
Because some hauntings aren’t about the dead.
They’re about the love you never quite managed to leave behind.

Jessica Sprigg expected to inherit a bookshop, not magical powers, mysterious new relatives, and a talking cat with an opinion on absolutely everything.
But after her great-aunt’s death, Jessica moves to Lavender Lake and discovers that magic is real, she’s a book witch, and her inherited familiar, Astrix, is equal parts helpful, hilarious, and infuriating. With an enchanted shop to run, newfound cousins to meet, and an entire magical town to explore, Jessica is ready to begin a strange new chapter.
Then she wakes up to find herself splashed across the front page of The Grapevine, Lavender Lake’s notorious gossip magazine, alongside a collection of scandalous and categorically untrue rumors.
Jessica makes the grave mistake of confronting its owner in front of half the town. When she visits him the following morning to apologize, her words fall on very dead ears.
Now Jessica is the prime suspect in his murder. Half of Lavender Lake wanted the victim silenced, however, and untangling their secrets proves almost as difficult as controlling her newly awakened magic. To make matters worse, the grumpy and irritatingly handsome sheriff can’t decide whether to enlist Jessica’s help or lock her up.
Handcuffs. And not in the good way.
With Astrix providing more sarcasm than assistance and a killer determined to keep the truth buried, Jessica must clear her name before she becomes the next front-page tragedy. But someone in Lavender Lake isn’t who they appear to be, and murder may be the least dangerous secret hiding in town.

Every instinct tells me to claim her. Every rule I’ve ever lived by tells me I can’t.
Halsey Gallagher came to Red Pine to disappear. Sketch the trees, forget the scandal, be left alone.
Just one problem… She has no idea she already belongs to me.
One scent on a mountain trail and the bond hits like a lightning strike. It’s sudden, absolute, undeniable.
My tiger begs me to take her. Even as my law tells me to keep our secret.
She’s sharp-eyed, guarded, healing from a wound she won’t talk about. She’s also completely human, which means she has no idea what just found her in these woods.
She thinks she’s just drawing wildlife. She’s about to learn one of the things she’s been sketching has been watching her back, every single day, and has no intention of stopping.
I’ve hidden what I am my whole life. For her, I’m done hiding.

I leave corrections in the margins of donated romance novels. “A real lycan would NEVER say this.”
Two years of those notes, and the 6’5” lord of the ridge has kept all four hundred and three of them.
Ambrose Dunmore has silver at his temples and hasn’t signed his real name to anything since 1851. Now he’s hired me to organize his family’s ancient estate records.
Then he catches me reading one of my spicy paperbacks out loud.
He traps me against his desk, looks at my notes, and whispers: “You’ve been correcting me for two years. Come do it where I can feel it.”
When shifter politics turn dangerous, he takes control the only way he knows how – by printing a public declaration that exposes me to the entire town. He thinks his word is final. But I’ve spent four years editing other people’s sentences, and he doesn’t get to write my ending.
If he wants my answer, he can read it on the front page. Like everybody else.

This town has a word for women like me. They’ve been using it since before I was born.
I keep the light. I keep the wards. I keep a harbor that has never once kept me. Then the sea took a man, and something in my chest pulled hard enough to put me in after him.
He came up breathing. He looked at me like he already knew me.
Mate. Both of us. The same second.
When the council stood up to blame me for the wards, he was the only person who asked for proof.
Nobody has ever asked for proof before. He won’t leave my side, and it’s going to get him killed.
I’ve been alone my whole life, and I could have lived with it.
I can’t do one more night without him.

A wolf shifter baker. A hot dragon uncle on babysitting duty. And five cupcake-fueled dragon toddlers who accidentally play matchmaker.
Brianna Montclair has no time for romance. She’s finally living her dream: running a bakery with her best friend in Red Lodge, Montana. The hours are brutal, the to-do list never ends, and Brianna is determined to make her bakery a success.
Then Flynn Ashford walks through the door with five sugar-hungry dragon toddlers in tow. He’s charming. Ridiculously handsome. And according to her wolf? Her mate.
As if that weren’t complicated enough, meeting Flynn awakens magic Brianna never knew she had. Suddenly, her carefully organized life is spinning out of control.

Flynn falls first—and hard. Now, he’s juggling five dragon toddlers, stolen moments with Brianna, and the growing certainty that he wants a life he never imagined outside the mountain.

An enchanted bookshop. A town full of secrets. One cat who would much rather be sleeping.
Until the new owner of Lavender Lake’s magical bookshop arrives, Astrix has been left in charge. His duties are simple: watch over the shop, protect its secrets, and spend as much time as possible stretched out in a warm sunbeam.
For a while, all is quiet.
Then an intruder attempts to break into the shop and tear down the magical defenses protecting it.
Forced to abandon his favorite sleeping spot, Astrix sets out to discover who is targeting his bookshop and why. The intruder left few clues, but in a town like Lavender Lake, someone is always watching.
Unfortunately, most of the witnesses are the town’s familiars.
Now Astrix must interrogate Lavender Lake’s cats, birds, and other magical creatures to uncover what they have seen. The only problem, as he already knows, is that getting a cat to do something it does not want to do is almost impossible.
As Astrix ventures deeper into the relatively tame underbelly of the magical town, he uncovers hidden secrets, unexpected mysteries, and a plot so sinister that it leaves even him speechless.
Briefly.
Someone wants the bookshop’s defenses gone, and if Astrix cannot discover why, the shop may not be the only thing in danger.
Good thing he still has a few of those nine lives left. He might just need them.
Somebody left a crock on the potluck table and never came back for it.
The tape on the lid said FROST. BLACKTHORN ROAD. THE END OF IT.
So I filled it with brownies and walked it home.
I’m the cook at the Grange in a town too small for secrets, and I have one rule: nothing goes home from my hands empty. I left that crock on a stranger’s porch with a thank-you note. By sunup it was back on my doorstep. Still warm. Venison stew, and no note. I sent a roast chicken. The crock came back with honey, the comb still in it.
Then I met Callan Frost. Six foot five, a century-old alpha king, and the quietest man I’ve ever fed. He growls at my sixty-year-old mailman. He is also, it turns out, the wolf the size of a pony who takes chicken skin off my porch most nights. I named him Biscuit.
“I’d been hungry a hundred years, Nora.”
Here’s what nobody in town thought to mention. In Frost Hollow, a dish sent out full is a question. Send it back empty and the answer is no. Send it back full, and the answer is yes, and after the third one, it’s kept. Callan knew what my brownies meant from the start. I did not. Now I’m two dishes into a courtship I started by accident, the whole town wants to know what I’ll bake next, and the man at the end of the road is perfectly willing to let me make up my own mind. That would be easier if I hadn’t spent twelve years leaving towns that never once asked me to stay.
One more pan of brownies and it’s binding. I haven’t decided whether to preheat the oven.
A wounded wolf. A disgraced alpha. A love that could tear their pack apart.
Tolstone has always been a safe, temporary haven for wolf shifters until Kimberly Ross is attacked in a violent challenge to the prime alpha’s leadership. She survives, but her traumatized wolf goes silent. Deep in the woods, she struggles to encourage her wolf to surface when she scents her former high school sweetheart. His family betrayed hers, forcing them to flee and find a new pack. She refuses to forgive, but for the first time in months, her wolf stirs to life.
New alpha Shane Snyder seeks shelter for his splintered pack after his father’s death and his former beta’s bloody rebellion. His stay in Tolstone will be brief—long enough for his pack to recover while he searches for safe territory. Seeing Kimberly again forces an impossible choice. His pack must come first, but Kimberly has always felt like his fated mate.
When Shane discovers that Kimberly can’t shift, he knows she needs protection. But if he claims her, it could cause war amongst their packs.
Is their bond strong enough to unite the packs or will it be their undoing?
