Part of The Witches of Thistle Grove
First published 2023
Delilah Harlow's memory lies in fragments after a devastating power surge nearly destroyed her mind six months ago. The once sharp-witted witch now stumbles through daily life, depending on others for help she never needed before. Desperate to reclaim her independence, Delilah performs a dangerous blood spell designed to restore her mental clarity. The magic works, but it also transforms her into a magnet for malevolent supernatural creatures that have never threatened Thistle Grove before. When a rogue succubus attacks, mysterious stranger Catriona Quinn saves Delilah's life. Quinn hunts monsters for a living and carries her own dangerous secrets as a half-human, half-fae being. Delilah finds Quinn morally questionable and deeply unsettling, but she needs an ally against the creatures now stalking her. Their reluctant partnership leads them into Thistle Grove's buried history and awakens a risky attraction that could reshape everything Delilah thought she wanted from life.
