Welcome to the beta read along. New chapters every Friday. Happy reading!
A Witch Who Just Wants to Run Her Business…
Dili Darise
A witch who likes to keep her age and power hidden from the people of the cozy mountain town where she’s made her home. Adept in natural magic and passionate about healthcare, she works for her best friend in a nurse practitioner’s office, providing aid and producing medicine. She is well known in her community for her caring demeanor and reclusive social habits.
A Vampire Who Wants to Solve an Ancient Mystery…
Hadrian of Poeninae
A vampire who prefers to wander where he pleases rather than settle down with a harem of his own. Despite his solitary lifestyle, he’s quite sociable and loves to share a pint with eager conversationalists. Driven by the mysteries of the ancient world buried beneath the modern one, and by a grudge he cannot get over, he passes his endless days nursing old wounds and searching for the next big adventure.
And A Cat Who has his own Agenda.
Toadstool
A witch’s familiar, who also goes by “Toad” for short. As with all familiars, magic drew him toward Dili as a kitten, then he chose to follow her. At seven years old, he has had plenty of time to learn Dili’s habits, mannerisms, and preferences, but most importantly, her strengths and weaknesses, too. Though overprotective of his witch, he’s quite independent and fond of solo-adventures.
Reminder: This slow-burn graphic, paranormal romance is filled with darker themes, lighter scenes, and happy endings (yes, really. Like, rainbows and fluff. Happy-happy). The tone will be hot, but light, with lower-stakes action.
Top tropes: enemies to lovers, forced proximity.
