M.L. Briers - 2019
It wasn’t too much to ask, was it? Well, fate seemed to have other plans for her in the form of a big, bad, bear shifter name Dale. If only she’d listened to Aunt Harriet and hadn’t acted in haste, then she might have done her witchy due diligence and checked the area to make sure there weren’t any shifters, vampires, or troubles on the horizon. From the moment she stepped into her barn and found that sexy bear shifter naked, she knew deep down that she was in trouble, and trouble just loved company. That company came in the form of Dale’s sister, Lynn, and she had man troubles of her own. What else could go wrong? As a witch, Ami knew not to ask, and now there was a vampire out for blood, but whose? Hold on for a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud, rollercoaster ride of fun and wooing in this crazy paranormal comedy from the author of the Howl’s Series. Can you keep up?
