A Sip of Magic

A war is brewing between a witch and her new, grumpy but gorgeous, warlock neighbor. Serena never expected to receive a dark omen in her cup of tea right after moving to the quaint, seaside town of Pembrooke, Oregon. Even so, she's not about to let a little death threat stop her from fulfilling her opening a teahouse that serves brews spiked with a little healing magic. Even if it is strictly forbidden. After all, healing people is the only thing this wandering free spirit has ever really been good at. Soon a unique haven arises, offering the townspeople a touch of the extraordinary, and lonely witches a safe spot to find each other. Enter Jared, the grumpy but sexy attorney from across the street. The snag? He also sits on the strict Magic Council, and he's going to do whatever it takes—sabotage included—to shut down her magical establishment and run her out of town. Worse still, he seems to be hiding dark secrets of his own. Yet even as war breaks out between them, the warlock's eyes burn with heat and hers burn right back. But when something even darker begins stalking Serena, she can't be sure who to trust. Will Serena cut and run as she's always done, or stand her ground to protect her newfound community, friendships, and a shot at real love? This feel-good, cozy, magical romance will leave you yearning for a warm corner in The Velvet Teahouse and the taste of its magic-infused brews. (Grumpy-Sunshine Paranormal Romance, Heat 3)
