Belhaven Island is full of buried secrets. In the dark corners of Belhaven’s museum basement, Emma DiMarco discovers Sara Cortese’s diaries detailing a time before magic was outlawed and the country’s history rewritten.
She takes on the treacherous task of preserving the only surviving record of Belhaven’s authentic history while Liam Doran, the museum’s new caretaker, covertly embraces the earth magic his family has denied for generations.
It’s lust at first sight and Emma believes anything more than casual would be a foolish risk. But the magical pull of bound souls is too much to fight.
When a mysterious illness strips Liam of his humanity and threatens his life, Emma connects it to events penned in the diaries. Emma must decide if embracing her heritage and using magic to save Liam is worth risking her freedom and her life.

Description
Grant writing wasn’t part of Cassie Jameson’s pro-bono marketing contract with the nonprofit JoCo Water Project. But they all but guaranteed her cooperation when tattooed science teacher Lucas Bailey made the ask.
A hookup with the nonprofit’s hottest volunteer would violate her professional ethics, but working closely with Lucas on the grant is tempting Cassie to mix business with pleasure.
After six months of collaboration, Cassie and Lucas road trip across North Carolina to a college town in the Blue Ridge Mountains to present their grant proposal. Coinciding with spring break, Lucas is ready to blow off some steam and have a little wholesome fun in Boone, finally getting to know his grant writing partner better.
Mother Nature is not on their side, however, forcing them to make the drive in a major rainstorm, and throwing plenty of obstacles in their way. Do Cassie and Lucas make it to Boone with their mutual attraction intact or does their burgeoning connection get washed away in the floodwaters?
