In a town where shadows whisper and herbs scream, falling for the local bear shifter was probably Mara’s least chaotic choice.

Griff Cooper just wanted a quiet life in the woods with his magical daughter, a bottomless supply of coffee, and zero eldritch forest disturbances. Instead, he got a snarky herbal witch with flower crowns, a precocious six-year-old who talks to shadows, and a mysterious “pretty lady” trying to rewrite the town’s reality like it’s her personal soap opera.

Between shadow puppets with opinions, sentient herbs, and a harvest festival that turns into a showdown for the fate of magical society, Griff and Mara are just trying to hold the line and keep the peace.

They’re strong enough to save the town.

Keeping it buttoned-up around each other? That’s the hard part.
