Secrets of the Deadly Nighshades

Witchlight Cove: where the coffee’s strong, the magic’s unpredictable, and the bodies keep piling up. Witchlight Cove was supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, I’ve discovered a long-lost grandfather, my best friend’s hiding a massive secret, and the Eternal Flame has disappeared—only the most important magical artefact in town. Oh, and to top it all off, a body just turned up, complete with vampire bite marks. I’d love to say I’ve got everything under control, but let’s be real—I’m barely keeping my life together. My magic is wonky at best, my retriever is more sensible than I am, and Corwen Banks, the town’s dangerously attractive selkie, keeps showing up at the worst possible moments. He seems determined to save me, which is completely unnecessary, because I do not need a hero. I’m already juggling a murder investigation, a missing flame, and magic that’s suddenly misbehaving—I don’t have time to be distracted by an infuriatingly handsome selkie. Meanwhile, a secret guild of assassins, a coven of questionable witches, and a murder suspect who might actually be innocent are all vying for my attention. Welcome to my hometown. Someone pass me a drink.
