Spells & Stumbles - When Magic Misfires Hearts Ignite

Miles A. Bennett

Sinopsis

Julian never planned to spill the love potion. He only wanted proof that he wasn’t a failed witch that, just once, his spells could do what they were meant to. But one clumsy slip sent the charm flying straight into his sharp-tongued, skeptical neighbor, Elias.

Elias has spent years tucked safely behind his own walls, living in careful detachment. The last thing he expects is to be swept into Julian’s chaos of sputtering spells, rattling cupboards, and cookies that definitely aren’t safe to eat. Still, there’s something about Julian’s messy honesty that pulls at him, leaving Elias to wonder if the warmth building in his chest is enchantment or something real.

As misfires mount and the whole town starts to notice, Julian scrambles to undo what he’s set in motion, terrified he’s stolen Elias’s choice. Yet every disaster drags them closer, turning reluctant teamwork into something harder to name. Trust wavers, walls crack, and the truth waits between them.

Is this bond only the echo of a spell, or the kind of magic that lasts?

Spells backfire, ghosts meddle, shifters wrestle instincts they’d rather ignore, and aliens stumble their way through the messy art of love. Each standalone story mixes comedy, warmth, and a romance that stays sweet but never boring.

Sometimes the strangest places lead to the most unexpected happily ever afters.

Well, not sell, exactly—that's a line Tony won't cross. Display? Gyrate? Flex? Whatever. It pays his bills, and that's all that matters.

The golden coin Raven offers is enough to settle Tony's debts. And the way Raven takes what Tony gives him in return is enough for Tony to wish he'd offered himself for free. 
 
 
 
But when the sun rises, Raven's gone—along with the coin. 
 
 
 
And Tony isn't the kind of guy to let things go. Especially not when they belong to him . . .

A Lethal Walk in Lakeland

Nicholas George

Former San Diego detective Rick “Chase” Chasen has found a welcome change of pace on walking tours in the British countryside. But England’s green and pleasant land can hide all kinds of surprises—including murder …

Chase has two compelling reasons for returning to England—a group walk along the famed Coast to Coast trail in the picturesque Lake District, and a chance to further his relationship with Mike, the handsome Devonshire coroner he met on his last trip. The walkers, including Chase’s dear friend and fellow Anglophile Billie Mondreau, assemble at a Cumbrian hotel and begin their adventure with the traditional “baptism of the boots” in St. Bee’s Bay. But they’ve barely begun traveling eastward with their genial guide than the group dynamic turns unexpectedly rocky.

The problem is the Uptons—a wealthy family who have arrived from Texas, and whose squabbling antics continually overshadow the bucolic surroundings. Brock Upton, tall and commanding, is traveling with his pint-sized wife and his three siblings, along with a family friend. Every member of the party cites a different reason for joining the tour, and Chase’s instincts tell him they’re all lying.

Brock’s heart condition hinders their progress through the Lake District’s hills and dales. But that proves the least of their problems when one of the Uptons is fatally poisoned. Years of secrets and grudges emerge, along with a decades-old family mystery. And only Chase’s investigative expertise can find the answers—and uncover a killer in their midst before tragedy befalls the tour again …
