The Ex Hex

Nine years ago, Vivienne Jones, known as Vivi, a witch who only half practices, had her heart broken by Rhys Penhallow, the town's golden boy. She answered with a quick, joking curse and never expected it to work.

Rhys now returns to Graves Glen, Georgia, a small town founded by his ancestors, and the strange events begin almost at once. Wind-up toys turn murderous, a ghost starts making mischief, and a cat named Sir Purrcival, who belongs to Gwyn, begins to talk. Vivi has to admit that her silly curse may have been far from harmless.

The two have until Halloween to undo the spell, or the chaos will stay for good. To manage it, Vivi and Rhys must set their obvious chemistry aside, or perhaps give in to it.

The book is a paranormal romantic comedy with a spooky streak and a witty tone, set in a small town where the magic is more silly than grim. It pairs exes in a second-chance setup, with the haunting played for laughs as much as for chills. It opens the Graves Glen series.
