Hazel's not your average cat-loving witch who owns a bakery. She's got scars, the invisible kind; growing up, her magic and her confidence were smothered by her shallow Beige Witch mom and sisters. Now, at twenty-eight, Hazel's finally coming into her power and is a force to be reckoned with in her magical community, the idyllic seaside town of Blue Moon Bay. 
But even though the Bay appears picture-perfect, with its quaint shops and misty mornings where sea spray mingles with magic, mysteries lurk beneath its small-town charm. When Hazel's thrust into the middle of a murder investigation in order to clear her boyfriend's name, she's surprised to find allies in her former high school rivals, neurodivergent bobcat shifter Max and ex-mean-girl-cheerleader Britt (now a chill, non-judgmental vampire). Soon Hazel's helped form an unstoppable trio of supernatural detectives. Now if only hot deputy Elliot James would share police intelligence with her ... along with any other secrets he might be keeping. 
Wrapped in warmth, humor, and the cozy comfort of found family, the Blue Moon Bay Witches series weaves together magic, mystery, and romance into a spell you won't want to break. Dive into the enchanting world of Blue Moon Bay today.

It is his job to ensure the safety of his people, his country, and his royal family.

Her mission was to eliminate the men trying to overthrow the royal family of Jawahir and prevent them from gaining control of the largest production of microchips in the world.

In a dangerous dance between two identities, Idella must decide if she can trust Tarek enough to reveal who she really is—a singer, an assassin, and the woman who loves him. If she can’t, this mission may be final in more ways than one.
