Secrets of the Frostbound Cottage (Witchlight Magical Mysteries)

Being a private investigator wasn’t supposed to be complicated. I expected cheating spouses and missing pets like BonBon, a kidnapped ‘pure-bred Schnoodle’ with a ruby-studded collar. What I didn’t expect was a desperate elf on my doorstep, begging for help to find her missing parents. Nor did I think that my search would drag me back into the magical world I’d tried so hard to leave behind.

But when a routine case reveals a demon lurking in the shadows, it’s clear that even my mediocre magic might not be enough. Between tracking the elf’s missing loved ones, dodging the secrets of my past and dealing with a stray pup who may be smarter than I am, I’ve got my hands full.

With a knack for finding trouble and a lifetime of kicking butt, I’m diving headfirst into a tangled web of magic, mystery and mayhem because ‘simple’ cases don’t exist in my line of work – and the stakes are always higher than they seem.
