Sinopse

As the scents of cooking waft through her small apartment in Beirut, our heroine is confronted by memories of the past. They are as much a part of her as the jagged scar on her neck that she dutifully hides, and the invisible scars that mar her soul that she doesn’t need to. 
 
For three days, she toils. And with the familiar scents, the same as those from the village she left behind, her secrets unfold, drawing a picture of a tumultuous life lived in a small town full of contradictory feelings and conflicting ideas, amidst blood and tears. 
 
In her preparations, our heroine relives the past believing it a new start, and reconciliation with all life. 
 
But how can she reconcile with the thing she hates the most: herself?

She's a witch. He hunts killers. 
Solving murders is just the foreplay. 
Maggie Maxwell didn't mean to become the town's newest scandal. 
But moving into her dead uncle's haunted manor came with more than creaky headboards—it came with murders. Multiple. Right in her backyard. 
And a six-foot-four officer, built like a wall of muscle and her filthiest desires, babysitting her like she's breakable. He's brooding, bossy, and overprotective—and Maggie? She's sworn off quick flings. Especially since her love spell has a new side effect: obsessive, zombie-like exes who abandon their families just to worship the ground she walks on. 
Oops. 
_________ 
Life for Officer Graham Locke was simple. Thought he'd buried his past. But the new girl in town is the kind of trouble that unearths everything. Protecting her was supposed to be his job—not his kink. And all those years he'd spent denying the unexplainable? Yeah, they were for nothing. 
Now it's one supernatural nightmare after another. 
But all he really wants—besides her—is a drink and maybe a slice of pie. 
The Psychic Unraveled Series contains scenes of extreme graphic violence/adult themes and is recommended for audiences over the age of 18. For a full list of tropes and TWs, please visit the author's website.
