Coffee and Kelpies

Marlowe Reilly comes from a long line of kelpies... wild, shape-shifting water horses with a taste for human flesh. She's been allowed to live in the magical town of Crescent Cove provisionally, as long as she can keep her bloodthirsty nature in check, which she manages in part thanks to the magical, mood-changing drinks served up at the Toast & Tide, a local diner.
Marlowe owns a riding stable where she provides a safe space for both rescued horses and traumatized humans. But her livelihood and her tenuous place in Crescent Cove are jeopardized when a member of the violent family she left behind comes looking for her. And when a grouchy, scruffily-handsome man takes over the diner, her usual coping mechanisms are disrupted.
Rick Thane considers himself an excellent brewer of emotive potions, and he's not sure why the beautiful owner of the riding stable won't trust his work. He starts trying to win her over, not realizing that the deeper he moves into her life, the more uncertain his fate becomes. Marlowe's human side might claim to hate him, but her kelpie side craves him in the most primal way, and giving in to that hunger even once could prove ruinous for them both.

Sunscreen and Spellbooks

Welcome to Crescent Cove—where the sun shines, secrets linger, and every tide brings a little magic.

Catherine Prescott doesn’t believe in magic. Not anymore. Once a prodigy witch, now a burnt-out marketing exec, she’s traded spells for spreadsheets—until a sudden layoff leaves her with nothing but severance pay and an invitation to housesit her aunt’s beach cottage in Crescent Cove.

Her summer plans? Sunscreen, solitude, and maybe a little self-discovery.
Reality? A mischievous dog, a house full of enchanted junk, and a maddeningly handsome marine biologist who insists she’s “disrupting leyline energy.”

Elliot Fitzgerald is sunshine in human form—tanned, barefoot, and entirely too charming. He’s also a sea lion shifter sworn to protect the cove’s magic. When Cat accidentally stirs dormant power beneath the waves, he offers to teach her how to control it… if she agrees to stay close.

Now they’re fake-dating to throw off nosy locals, knee-deep in magical chaos, and discovering that the ocean isn’t the only thing with dangerous pull.
