COMING MAY 1, 2026

An empirical empath.

An anxious telepath.

A connection lost in time.

Elspeth can feel pain that isn’t hers—a Gift that could make her a brilliant doctor, but one that would expose the hidden, magical town of Queen’s Creek to the outside world. Instead of chasing medical school, she apprentices with the local healer, determined to help others without betraying the town she loves.

Caleb hears thoughts that aren’t his own. The intrusive whispers nearly unraveled him before he learned to quiet the noise. But power like his was never meant to be gentle—and choosing restraint over control may cost him more than he’s ready to lose.

They isolate because it’s practical. 
Because boundaries are survival.

Their connection is inconvenient, 
Ill-timed, 
And unavoidable.

When the spell that protects their home collapses, Elspeth vanishes into the past.

Now, separated by three centuries, Caleb and Elspeth must find a way to reconnect before time runs out—for them, and for Queen’s Creek.

Because sometimes love isn’t about falling,
It’s about holding on.

A cozy, time-bending romance about trust, magic, and the lengths we’ll go to for love.

UNMAGICAL

The Gate that hides Cate Corey’s magical hometown from the rest of the world is about to close.

Permanently.

Descended from gifted witches with no power of her own, Cate thought she’d left home and magic behind. These days, she’s a stressed college student and an underpaid barista.

It’s a blessedly normal life.

But when her father goes missing, she realizes his disappearance is linked to a crisis that threatens to destroy the community and reveal their magic to the world. And Cate’s missing Gift might be the only clue.

Now she must choose between family and freedom. Because she has to go home if she wants answers, but going back now might mean giving up the unmagical life she loves…

For good.
