Bound and Hexed

Rowan Mira has a problem. A six-foot, annoyingly calm, Bureau-badge-wielding problem.

When a routine spell goes sideways, Crystal Hollow's most chaotic witch accidentally tethers herself to Elias Crowe — a Magical Compliance investigator with sharp eyes, sharper cheekbones, and one very inconvenient superpower: he's immune to magic.

All magic. Including hers.

Now they're stuck within fifty feet of each other until Rowan figures out how to break the bond — which would be a lot easier if the bond itself weren't rooting for them. Or if Elias would stop being so infuriatingly competent. Or if her cat would stop taking his side.

Breaking a spell that shouldn't exist, between a witch and the one man magic can't touch, was never going to be simple. And when evidence surfaces that the tether wasn't an accident at all — that someone wanted them bound together — simple stops being an option.

As the pull between them tightens and frustration starts feeling like something warmer, Rowan has to face the question she's been avoiding: is she trying to break the bond because she wants to — or because she's terrified of what happens if she doesn't?

A sparkling paranormal romance about accidental magic, forced proximity, and the one person your heart picks whether you asked it to or not.
