Paranormal Cozy Mystery · Witch Sleuth · Found Family · Slow Burn Romance · Genies
She’s a witch. She’s an undercover chef. She can’t cook. And someone keeps ending up dead.
Welcome to Moonstruck Manor — a charming paranormal bed & breakfast where every guest has secrets, every staff member has a suspicious alibi, and the new chef absolutely cannot cook.
Murder, magic, and slow-burn romance served fresh daily. Happily-ever-afters guaranteed, though Kyla may burn a few things along the way.
New here? Start with Book 1 — that’s where Kyla’s story (and her disastrous kitchen career) begins. The prequel follows a different character and can be read once you already love the manor. Think of it as a bonus, not a prerequisite.
Meet Kyla and Moonstruck Manor, the little B&B with a murder problem
Book 1 – Start here
Magically Murdered
Two chefs are dead. She just took their job. The catch? She can’t cook, the suspects are everywhere, and she’s starting to suspect she’s not the investigator in this situation — she’s the bait.
Undercover identity · fish out of water · next victim tension · slow-burn romance begins
Book 2
Magically Attacked
Nobody died at the manor this time. But there’s still a body, an enchanted knife, and her friend’s fiancé holding it. The only person who can help? The rogue genie who kidnapped her last month. She absolutely does not trust him. She says yes anyway.
Reluctant alliance · enchanted weapon mystery · slow burn warms up · genie chaos
Book 3 — series finale
Magically Missing
She’s survived undercover missions, magical murders, and a kitchen that nearly took her out. But when her boyfriend’s genie lamp disappears, whoever rubs it controls his fate — and Kyla’s first real home. She’s not letting go without a fight.
Race against the clock · everything on the line · romantic payoff · satisfying series ending
Complete series — binge it all
The Paranormal B&B Box Set
All three of Kyla’s cases in one place — from the day she burned her first breakfast at Moonstruck Manor to the moment she finally got everything she didn’t know she was looking for.
Also includes the prequel, Magically Poisoned.
Perfect for readers who don’t want to stop between books.
Before Kyla arrived…
Prequel novella · different POV character
Magically Poisoned
Before Kyla showed up with zero cooking skills and an undercover badge, Moonstruck Manor had its own secrets.
When the mayor is poisoned using a magical plant stolen from the B&B owner’s garden, she becomes the prime suspect — and she has to clear her name before her own investigation buries her.
Framed for murder · small-town suspects · slow-burn midlife romance · potion witch magic
This novella follows the B&B owner, not Kyla. It’s a standalone — but can be enjoyed at any point.
Bonus – reader exclusive
The Next Year – Alec’s Point of View
Not ready to leave Moonstruck Manor? At the end of Book 3, you’ll find an offer for a bonus extended epilogue — Alec’s story, the rival genie, and what happened in the year after everything changed. A little extra for readers who need just one more chapter (or three chapters, actually.) This is one of the many exclusives offered to newsletter subscribers.

The Mail-Order Witch
A Paranormal Cozy Mystery Series
What’s a witch to do when nobody will hire her? Open her own shop, obviously. But when the entire second-grade class sprouts fluffy tails, the town of Watersedge is quick to point fingers at Ettie and her new enchanted goods business.
The children are turning into foxes. The shop is infested with hamsters. And someone is clearly trying to drive Ettie and her warlock husband out of town — she just has to figure out who.
Warm, witty, cozy, and charming — for readers who want their magic domestic, their mysteries delightful, and their heroines absolutely determined to make the best of things.
