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,

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?

Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott are back at it. As partners in a private detective agency, they manage to do superior investigating while hiding the heart.
Strike and Robin have extreme feelings for one another, but there are always too many barriers. One or another is dating someone else, work, timing, work, admittance, work, and anything else that can keep them from admitting their feelings at the same time.
The current case involves parents of Will who hire Strike and Robin to get him out of what they consider a religious cult. Robin demands she go undercover to infiltrate the religious camp.
More dangerous than expected, Strike keeps his promise to Robin, no matter how much it aggravates him, to update her boyfriend on her wellbeing. Strike insists to himself that he'd be better at keeping Robin happy, but he hasn't found the right moment to reveal to Robin his thoughts. He shouldn't, but he might.
Robin likes her boyfriend, but in times of danger and being exhausted on the low rations at the camp and scared at the same time, she first thinks of Strike.
They have no idea of the deeply guarded romantic feelings they share.
The investigation keeps them from diving into their true feelings, but rather urgent on saving Will from his certain demise at the hands of the cult.
Strike and Robin both admit to themselves who they want in their life, but can they find a way to express their growing love? Or is the case the only thing they solve?
Each installment of the series brings love a touch closer, yet when will love be the final mystery solved?

A memoir with romantic elements will touch all your hearts for animals and love between people.
James Herriot, newly graduated from veterinary school in the early 1900's, finds a local Yorkshire veterinarian to work with. School is nothing like real life and most of his experiences can only be taught by doing.
Working in the English countryside, enduring the rain, winds, and snow, the farm animals are loved and in need of care. This leaves James little time for a young woman he has his eye on when her father's stock needs attention.
James doesn't enjoy a cow or sheep needing his care, but he feels a different type of adrenalin when visiting Helen's farm. Pushing himself to get the nerve to ask her for a date, it doesn't end well. Neither does his next attempt on another lass.
Maybe he's only comfortable around the animals whose heart he knows how to mend.
Yet, he doesn't give up. Slow but steadfast, he finds a way to interest Helen in another outing. And then another. Love blooms in the spring!
Happy reading,
Dawn
