Karma can kiss it.
When Felix Simms took over the position of mayor in the small town of Havers-by-the-Sea, he had no idea he’d inherit so many problems. Between the town of Fayet suing them for magical appropriation, a looming budget crisis, and the butt cheek bandit’s reign of terror, the last thing Felix needs is to be saddled with his delinquent sister’s urchins over the holidays. And he certainly doesn’t have time to deal with Liam Montgomery trying to make amends for suggesting the disastrous “polycule proposal” that broke Felix’s heart senior year.
But Liam is desperate to prove he and Felix are meant to be together. Unfortunately, Liam’s pending divorce has taken a nasty turn, and juggling that and the Havers’s rumor mill is seriously affecting his mental health.
Meanwhile, a new threat is rising, putting all of Havers in danger. To face it, Felix and Liam have to put their differences aside. Because if they can’t, it’s not just the town that’s in jeopardy, it’s everyone they love, and Jena and Chase will be the first to fall.

What readers are saying:
If you want a romance with family drama and magic then this is the book to read. – Sandra, Goodreads
Weres and Warlocks was everything I hoped it would be. My
sweet baby Felix finally got his happily ever after after all, not that there
wasn’t some bumps along the way.
Such a great little holiday read. It has a little bit of everything in it. Some
spice, some yearning, a little bit of magic, found family, and I love a good
animal sidekick. I stayed up until 2am this morning to finish it because I
couldn’t go another day without knowing how it ends.
-In a world of ink, Goodreads
I highly recommend reading this, especially if you like magic/paranormal books – Kerry Batchelor

Star-Crossed Chronicles Book 1
Karma’s a witch.
When witch Jena Seymore returns home to Havers-by-the-Sea to care for her dying aunt, old town politics and prejudices are rekindled. Between the local Westside Pack’s vendetta against her family and the coven pressuring Jena to become guardian of the magical node outside of town, she has enough problems without adding Chase Montgomery to the mix. Especially after he broke her heart by starting the devastating rumor that sent Jena running from town in the first place.
But Chase has plenty of problems of his own, and how to make amends with Jena and win her heart is at the top of the list. Unbeknownst to his pack, Jena is his fated mate, and after her leaving town the first time almost killed him, he’s not letting her get away again—no matter what the backlash might be.
And meanwhile, the
node is turning wild, jeopardizing Havers-by-the Sea’s existence as tensions
threaten to tear it apart from within. Deep-seated small town secrets could
hold the key to its future—but only if they’re discovered before Samhain, when
the blue moon rises.
Magic happens and sparks fly when a sassy witch with
curves for days crosses paths with an irresistible alpha shifter. WERES AND

What readers are saying:
“I loved this story! It has everything I like in a good book, angst, anger, laughter, tears, fun, heat, love, loyal best friend, quirky side characters and an HEA. It doesn’t get any better than that. The storyline is solid, engaging, the world building is multi-dimensional and once you start you won’t want to put it down.” – @sunshinewhispers
“Wow, what a cracking book this is. Twists, turns and lots of magic so what’s not to like. I couldn’t put it down till I’d finished it, I was completely engrossed. I loved it.” – @sbanacek
“I started reading this book at 9pm and read straight through to 4am. … FOUR. A. M. Crazy, right?! Let me tell you, this book had me hooked from the start with its humor, drama, character chemistry, character personalities, drama, romance, banter, action, and spice. ‘Weres and Witchery’ is among one of the best escapes I’ve had in a while.” – @Morally_Gray_Nola
