     Witch Imogene Hobbs, with the exception of her frill-necked lizard familiar, Liz, has spent most of her life alone, but not because she’s anti-social. Nope. She’s cursed. The ghost of her Puritan ancestor’s bitter enemy, Dorcas Hoar, haunts Immie every second of every day. Working with botanical magic sustains the creator witch, even with an ornery spirit on her ass all the time, and Immie manages to eke out a living cultivating rare, hard-to-grow plants for magic potions. Bear Shifter Tabor Cotton shows up in Assjacket, West Virginia with a proposal for Immie—save his town’s most precious tree, the Great Ash, an ancient source of pure magic. In exchange, he will help her lift her curse. Baba Yaga, the head honcho of all witches, insists on Immie’s cooperation—not that Immie is protesting. To complicate matters, Tabor believes that Immie is his mate. All because of the so-called “mating scent.” Yep. Immie thinks Tabor smells like fresh cut grass on a spring morning, while Tabor thinks she smells like dark honey licked straight off the comb. As Tabor and Immie learn to navigate their blossoming romance, prune a cursing crone, and weed out a plot to kill to the Great Ash, you can bet your sassafras that Wild, Texas is about to get a whole lot wilder.

    In fact, everything was going fine between the witches, the wolf pack, and the vampire in the little town of Trouble until Cash showed up. Now she had more trouble than she needed, and her cosy life was about to change. Living in a family with five sisters, Max was used to being independent, protective, and sometimes; headstrong, but he was determined to fight her every step of the way on those things and more. That big bear shifter was sexy as hell, she couldn’t stop thinking about him, but when she started to dream about him, something had to give. She just hoped it wasn’t going to be her panties. Cash was looking for a bolthole and wasn’t planning to stay in the town longer than it took to clear his mind and make a decision, but that decision was taken away from him the moment he’d met Max. She was everything and more, and with the wolf pack sniffing around and causing her problems, he wasn’t about to let her do things her way. But she was a distraction that he could do without and taking his eye off the ball for just a second brought him a world of hurt that only the vampire could help with. Things were about to liven up in the little town of Trouble, and some might say it wasn’t for the better. A small town named Trouble, a family of witches, a wolf pack playing dirty, a lurking vampire, and a bear shifter walking into the middle of it. What could go wrong? Come and be a part of the family, and some have laughs along the way.
