Rune Tithe

In this charming MM romantic fantasy, cursed witch Briar Wyngrave has a date with destiny-but isn't totally sure which man that date is with. Witch Briar Wyngrave's time is limited. The wasting curse that killed his mother is coming for him too, consuming his magic bit by bit. At least he'll have the chance to make his name as a magical fashion designer with an elite placement in Pentawynn, the country's glittering capital, after graduation. Until, that is, a prophecy sends him to the remote island of Coill Darragh instead, in search of a predestined lover with a mysterious mask. When Briar arrives with his grumpy magpie familiar, Vatii, he finds an unwelcoming town, a murdered poltergeist named Gretchen in his apartment, and a handsome alderman named Rowan with a haunting scar. He also gets pulled into the mysterious magic of the darkly enchanted forest that surrounds the town and seems to have something to do with his curse . . . As if all that weren't enough, famous witch Linden Fairchild has come to town, complete with a charismatic smile, an unreadable aura, and a surefire plan to cure curses. How's a cursed witch to know which enchanting man is his destiny? And can Briar possibly make an impact as a magical fashion designer in this tiny town? One thing is certain: a witch's magic requires a tithe-a berry, a feather, a cut into flesh-and Coill Darragh may take tithes Briar isn't ready to give . . .

After five centuries, a loyal guard returns from the dead without the king he once served-and loved-to find the world and his place within it much changed. Ambrose aka the Grim Wolf of Belgrave spent his life striving to be a hero-until he died a villain in the name of the medieval witch king he was passionately devoted to. Now, after hundreds of years, he's back from the dead without his beloved king. And the vow he once swore has him obligated to Emery Vale, a necromancer-in-training, who's tasked him with murdering his rival and nemesis. But Ambrose has other plans. He hopes to bring the ruler of his kingdom-and his heart-back from the grave so they can finally enjoy the love they'd once yearned for. All he has to do first is kill one other person: Emery . . . The more time Ambrose spends with his new master though, the more his hunger for Emery's blood is turning into a hunger for Emery. And as he continues to search for a way to resurrect the witch king, he might just discover their connection wasn't all that it seemed.

Having once escaped the dark waters that cursed him, a young witch returns home to face the evil targeting his loved ones-whatever the consequences. After almost a decade away, Taliesin Ashborne has come home to attend his grandfather's funeral. While past tensions still linger between him and his family, a stiff drink and a steamy encounter with Kessian, the gorgeous man who approaches him at the wake, really takes the edge off. But the old magic of Shearwater Spring has left more scars on Tal than he realized. Nine years ago, twenty-four townspeople, including Tal and his father, mysteriously walked into a deep river one night-and only Tal returned. To this day, something dangerous lurks in Shearwater's black waters. It's hunting down everyone Tal loves, and after it got his twin, he couldn't stand to lose anyone else. Hoping to rid him of this curse once and for all, his sibling Fae urges him to see the town's new healer . . . who just so happens to be Kessian. Trying to keep his emotions in check-for not only his own benefit but also Kessian's safety-will be anything but easy for Tal after nine years of isolation. Now, with a wraith hot on his trail, he must uncover what corrupted the ancient magic of the river so he can finally come home for good.
