Two people. Zero ambitions. One perfect life.

Fern Walsh moves to Beckett Falls for a new start—new town, new salon, some distance from her mom's opinions. She doesn’t plan on getting lost in the valley and ending up in the driveway of the grumpiest, most unfairly attractive man she's ever met.

Elliott Fitzpatrick isn’t looking for a mate. He has bread proofing, ceramics drying, and a grizzly bear inside him who needs to mind his business. When Fern rolls down his dead-end road with her audiobook blaring, his bear takes one whiff and decides she’s his.

She thinks he's a little weird. He thinks she's way too chatty. They still kiss by day two.

Fitz and Starts is a standalone steamy shifter romcom with fated mates, primal chases, found family, and two people who finally stop apologizing for the low-key life they want.

Perfect for fans of Schitt’s Creek, the Grateful Dead, and getting chased by bears.

He’s the alpha masquerading as town council president. She’s a shifter pretending to be human. Fate says they’re meant to be—if only they’d sit down and talk it out.

Olivia Montclair is seeking a fresh start in the small, rural town of Beckett Falls. She craves a judgment-free life among a pack and is willing to hide who she is to get it. Pretending to be human is risky, but it might get her exactly what she needs.

Ben Beckett is the pack’s elected alpha. To human tourists, he’s the town council president. To locals, he’s the kid they watched grow up and the adult they put in charge. When his wolf catches a whiff of Olivia, Ben realizes she’s a potential mate, but he has no idea just how true that is.

As sparks fly and secrets threaten to surface, their unavoidable connection deepens at a laugh-out-loud pace. To get to their happily-ever-after, Olivia and Ben must learn that true love isn’t about perfection, it’s about finding the courage to be yourself and trusting that your mate will love you for exactly who you are.

Witty banter, close friendships, shifter hijinks, and a thick slice of spicy romance make for a small-town love story full of big laughs and bigger growls.

Him.

An impulsive witch and a buttoned-up werewolf discover love is its own beast in this spicy rom-com from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn.

As the eldest daughter of the magical Sherwood family, I'm supposed to have everything together. Well, joke's on them--I, Effie Sherwood, am chaos incarnate, and you'll never be able to guess my next move.

Like jumping on the back of Darius Aetos' motorcycle. Not only is Darius grumpy, gruff, and hot, he's also the head of the Aetos werewolf pack.

My spur of the moment decision has quickly become a much bigger commitment, because a pack elder is convinced this hunk of a man (or wolf, depending on the hour) is my fated mate.

Even though I'm a witch and he's a werewolf, we're stuck together until we can find our way out of the tricky pack politics. But under the light of the blue moon, it's almost starting to feel like Darius doesn't want to stay away from me. And I'm not sure if it's my magic going haywire or the starlit skies, but I can't imagine leaving his arms either.

"Could it possibly get any worse than having absolutely no magical abilities when you're a member of the most powerful family of witches ever? It used to be that I'd say no, but then I keep getting set up on dates with Gil Connolly, whose hotness is only matched by his ego. Seriously. I can't stand him. Even if I also can't stop thinking about him (specifically kissing him), but we're going to pretend I never told you that part. So yeah, my life isn't the greatest right now, but then it goes straight to the absolute worst hell when I accidentally make my sister's spell glitch and curse my whole family. And the only person who can help nonmagical me break the spell? You guessed it. Gil, the super hot jerk"

When two witches with a tangled history are forced to team up, it spells disaster in this steamy rom-com from USA Today bestselling author Avery Flynn.

It's the curse of every family's heir to be the responsible one. My family being the most powerful family in all of Witchingdom doesn't eliminate that fact, it only makes it worse--and that's why I, Leona Amber Sherwood, never do the unexpected. Except for that one time I did.

Believe me, I have rued the day that I got married in a midnight ceremony under a full moon to Erik Svensen, the heir to my family's deepest, bitterest enemies, and now, he won't agree to a divorce unless we return an ancient spell book to his family's secured facility.

But on our road trip to return the book, I learn more about Erik as we encounter trolls, nymphs, satyrs, and more. The longer we work together, the more I'm convinced that he might not be the evil trickster I assumed he was. Any more time together will leave me even more enchanted with my husband and that's the last thing I want. And if I keep telling myself that, maybe I'll start to believe it.
