Widow Lady Juliet Finch Hastings of Abercorn has
nowhere to go when her brother-in-law forces her to leave her late husband’s home.
Plagued by sexy dreams of a mysterious man, she now must travel to haunted
Brambling Cottage, her inheritance from her great-aunt. Generations of Finches
have avoided the cottage for a reason, yet it’s her only haven. Or rather, it and
the man from her dreams who greets her upon her arrival.
Noah Kingman has been caring for Brambling Cottage
since he turned sixteen, taking over what his father and grandfather had done
before him. As a friend of the ghost that resides there, he’s excited when his
dreams fill with images of a young woman of the exact likeness of the past
occupant, for he knows a Finch will finally return to the nest, an event he’s
waited for since a young boy.
Lady Juliet is grateful and not a little attracted to
Mr. Kingman. As she learns more about him, the cottage, her ancestor, and herself,
she begins to adjust to life on her own. But making life-changing decisions is
a new experience for her. Sooner than she expects, she must decide whether to
follow in her ancestor’s footsteps or forever embrace the past, a decision that
will greatly impact them all.

Yes, this is my salute to Halloween!
I love the characters; they are quirky, fun, and have such real emotions and habits. The atmosphere, or setting as you may call it, is divine. A village called Goodwinter in Essex oozes funny, witchy, creepiness.
It all starts with Essie Winterscale and her love of doing magic and living however she wants. She shares her house with a goofy group of other witches, all having their own specialties in magic.
The coven of witches has an enemy- no surprise, I'm sure. Essie is the one who keeps the enemy at bay because she can freeze him at every start to winter. Granted this story is in the autumn coming up on Halloween. Winter is right around the corner and Essie needs to practice her talent.
In comes Josh, the new owner of her Victorian and ever changing and growing house. Apparently, he inherited nearly the whole village and needs to collect back rent from the last couple hundred years.
Essie's home is impossible to find without help. Maybe because Josh is so sweet and handsome, she allows him a visit. She does not trust herself to have a boyfriend. Had to state that fact. But she really likes him.
Josh could easily spend many hours with Essie, if she allows him.
When the coven enemy rallies to take over the house and the land, Essie confides in Josh. As long as he can handle that her and her coven are witches for real, he has an in. He also has to help destroy the enemy to open the door to her heart.
The amount of trust and magic used to free the heart is grander than a magic carpet ride, and I hope you're all aboard for a fantastic trip!
Happy reading,
Dawn

Clementine Waterhouse. What a perfect witch's name. The name of her local business, Fix-It Witches, is perfect, too.
Or is the name a dead ringer for the best place to locate a witch?
Gavin Rhys, a traveling witch hunter, wonders if the names are obvious clues. Gavin hates his job and his father who forces it on him. He wants nothing more than a place to call home versus constant traveling.
When Clem realizes Gavin is looking for her and her fellow witches, the only way to keep him away is to get close to him.
The covey of witches cast spells to disguise the magic streaming around their homes and facilities.
Clem treats Gavin to creative outings. He can't detect any witch waves, yet he does like hanging out with Clem. The feeling is mutual, and neither wants to admit or fall for the other. It's against both their interests.
Although, Clem notices the loneliness surrounding Gavin. A pet mouse can be his new BFF. Along with a pet, their outings are getting closer and closer to being called dating.
Let's remember the secret each has...Clem is a witch and Gavin is a witch hunter.
How do you propose they get over this problem? It's tricky, or maybe a little magical!
Happy reading,

He made her successful. So why does he feel like he’s failed?
Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon AU | Amazon CA | Amazon DE
Lady Dorothea Ansley knows she baffles her mother and annoys her father with her prattle. Luckily, her fellow Curious Ladies are patient with her and great company during the season. But the season is coming to a close, and she is still without an offer of marriage. She needs a proposal quickly before her mother’s wandering eye causes a scandal and all chances of marriage disappear. As she stands alone at the final ball, she unwittingly catches the attention of Lord Harewood, but in a very different way than she expects.
Lord Felton Ambrose is quite good at predicting what will occur next whether it be in parliament or the next couple to be betrothed, but he never would have predicted Lady Dorothea’s conversation at the season’s final fete would be of any interest to him in the least. Curious if the moment was simply a serendipitous occurrence, he ensures that she’s invited to his family’s upcoming house party. She is the perfect lady for whom to find a suitor and achieve his goal of improving the reputation of the Belinda School for Curious Ladies to best honor the woman after which it was named.
Though his social experiment is a success and multiple men become enamored of Lady Dorothea, he is not at all happy. The lady has changed according to his sage advice, and she has taught him a few lessons on happiness in the process. By all rights, he should be basking in the glow of a goal reached, a victory hard won, but for the first time in his life, he fears he may, just possibly, have been wrong. Has he done the greatest disservice to Lady Dorothea, to the school, and to himself? More importantly, will he be too late to rectify his mistake?
