Kitchen Magic

Just when she'd given up on finding her fated mate, he turns up in her kitchen.

Pepper Rosewater is known around town as the "mate magnet". Everyone in the magical town of Greysden seems to find their true love when they're with Pepper. Shifters, demons, witches…she helps them all, whether she means to or not.  Now she's decided to focus on her newly restored witchcraft and do something she's always longed to do – learn how to cook.

Charles is a magical mutt. He's part demon, part wolf, part vampire, and one hundred percent grumpy about it. Ever since he turned forty his mother had been trying to marry him off in increasingly annoying ways, so when his cousin tells him about a head chef job at a new restaurant, the confirmed bachelor jumps at the chance to relocate.

But everything is not as it seems in his new town...His rental burned down, forcing him to accept the offer of a room at Rosewater Manor. The four-star restaurant he expected is really more like a diner, with a training kitchen in the back. And one of his new culinary students hates him on sight, which is a big problem considering that Pepper isn't just his new roommate -- she's also his mate.

"Kitchen Magic" is a steamy midlife paranormal romantic comedy featuring a wise-cracking woman finding her magic, a cranky chef who's learning you can't fight fate, and a small town full of matchmakers who are determined to help them find their happily ever after.

About the "Magical Midlife" series: Just outside the shifter town of Greysden sits Rosewater Manor, a place shrouded in magic. The Rosewater women and their friends all have special gifts, although sometimes they're a bit glitchy. At least until they find true love…
