Second Chance Magick - Monstera Bluff Book 2 is available on February 6!
After Cara Bishop’s terrible year of heartache and upheaval, she finally lands her dream job as a city planner… in a place that just so happens to be inhabited by monsters and witches she never knew existed. Go figure they’d grapple with the same urban planning issues as everyone else! As the shock of their existence wears off, she’s determined to land on her feet once and for all in this unusual yet charming place that feels so far away from everything she’s trying to escape. Except, a brooding gargoyle named Ben—who is frustratingly unavoidable both at work and outside of it—as well as some odious local power brokers seem quite unhappy with her sudden appearance in their hidden, magickal town.
Ben Garde-Pierre thought his humdrum road construction project for the town would proceed like any other. That is, until Cara—a human uninitiated with his world— arrives with a shiny new job at town hall, shaking up his entire life. Her presence proves to be an unexpected though not unwelcome complication. Ben soon recognizes he must protect her from a series of escalating forces that would drive her away, including his own burgeoning attraction to her.
Despite these obstacles, will Cara reclaim her career and make a life for herself in Monstera Bluff? Or will this be yet another mistake in her rollercoaster of a year?
No Planning For Love is a dual POV steamy, cozy, slow-burn monster romance with a guaranteed HEA. It’s the first in a series of interconnected, stand-alone novels set underneath the tree canopies of small-town Monstera Bluff in coastal Georgia, just waiting for you to visit.

After disaster strikes in Monstera Bluff, Ada Mayweather struggles with the likelihood that her magick may never return. What hope is there for a witch without magick? When Whispered Folk leadership convene in Monstera Bluff to address the events of Samhain night, an unwanted visitor from her past shows up as if the wide gulf of time and distance doesn't matter. Ada never thought she'd lay eyes on her long-lost love Norrell Snowstrider again. His unwanted presence forces her to confront not only her uncertain future, but also a painful chapter from her past that still haunts her. Most bothersome of all, he inserts himself into her life despite her protests, insisting he'll do all he can to restore her magick and take care of her in the meantime. But after walking out on her fifteen years ago with barely an explanation, can she trust him to make good on his promise? There are no second chances after a betrayal like that, right?
Faced with an impossible choice, Norrell abandoned the love of his life Ada to return home as the ruler of his clan. He never told her why. He couldn’t let her sacrifice all the good things in her life in Monstera Bluff for a soul-crushing future in his settlement where magick wielders like her are met with distrust and cruelty. His clan would surely snuff out the joy and vibrancy within her. Yet after so many years apart, he still burns for Ada, enough to melt the frosty tundra of his homeland. Older and wiser now, he realizes what a horrible mistake he made. When he finds out that Ada was injured in the Samhain night attack in Monstera Bluff, he jumps at the chance to return to her. He’ll do everything he can to show her that she’s always been the fire in his heart, his ember in the frost. And he won’t stop until her magick is restored and she’s her usual sunshine self again.
Second Chance Magick is a dual POV steamy, cozy, slow-burn monster romance with a guaranteed HEA. It’s the second in a series of interconnected, stand-alone novels set underneath the tree canopies of small-town Monstera Bluff in coastal Georgia, just waiting for you to visit.
