Title: The Trouble With Witches
Description: Shadowvale isn't typical small town America. The sun never shines, the gates decide who enters, magic abounds, and every resident bears some kind of curse.

No one knows this as well as raven shifter Deacon Evermore, who, like everyone in his family, has a curse. While his position as Shadowvale's peacekeeper lets him use that curse for good, he'd rather live anywhere else. He stays for his family, but doubts he can last much longer.

Fledgling witch Emeranth Greer is determined to escape her past and make a fresh start in Shadowvale with the aunt she's never met. Her aunt and the town prove to be far better than she imagined. There's no way Em is leaving this magical place. Especially when staying means more time with the handsome Deacon.

But when Em's troubled past catches up with her and nearly destroys the romance budding between her and Deacon, her instinct is to run again. Except there's magic in the mix now and the town won't let her leave. Only Deacon can save her, but can a cursed man clear her name…or will her history destroy them both?
