A Witchy Gallery

2025-10-22 • Susan King

Susan here, loving October (my birthday month!), with its themes of autumn and Halloween and all things spooky and witchy. I’ve always been fascinated with witches, the history and mystery of witchcraft, Wiccan practices, magic, spell crafts, and of course the witches—historical, fictional, and actual; hags and crones, sorceresses, practical witches, good witches and bad witches, including those unfairly accused and persecuted throughout the centuries. Since childhood, I’ve read and ...

Insta-Coffee Love isn’t always enough—until it is. In A Vow for the Viscount, Ruth A. Casie brings readers a story of second chances, secrets, and a vow that could mend everything—or break them forever. Here are five reasons you won’t want to miss it:

- A Hero Worthy of Redemption

Viscount Quinton Hollingsworth returns to Sommer-by-the-Sea after years presumed dead. He carries scars—seen and unseen—and a vow he never stopped believing in.

- A Heroine Who Refuses to Be Tamed

Mary-Ann Seaton has survived grief, betrayal, and the collapse of her father’s shipping business. She’s no damsel in distress—she’s determined, capable, and unafraid to demand the truth.

- Secrets, Shadows, and Betrayal

From hidden ledgers to dangerous conspiracies, Quinton and Mary-Ann are drawn into intrigue that could cost them their future. Danger hides in lies, lingering glances, and the shadows of the past.

- Sparks that Refuse to Die

This is a true second-chance romance. Estranged lovers reunite in a storm of passion and mistrust, only to discover that love can be both their greatest weakness and their strongest weapon.

- A Vow that Changes Everything

One vow was broken. Another could save them. With betrayal closing in, Quinton and Mary-Ann must decide if love is worth fighting for—even when the world conspires against them.

💫 A Vow for the Viscount is part of Barrington’s Brigade, Ruth A. Casie’s Regency series filled with loyal friends, dangerous missions, and heart-stopping romance. Ruth A Casie

Insta-Coffee Silent dreams, seaside hymns, and a daring choice … one Maine tea room offers a purpose far sweeter than fame.

In the waning days of the Roaring 20s, Melody Harper feels out of step with her pastor father’s stern household, where music is frivolous and dreams are foolish. She longs for a place to belong. When a letter arrives from her late mother’s sister inviting her to work at Aunt Delia’s Tea Room in Portland, Maine, Melody dares to dream of a new beginning far different than everything she’s ever known.

At the seaside tea room, Melody discovers the music of God’s love is more beautiful than any hymn or instrument. She glimpses a handsome boat builder, making her wonder what else God might have planned for her life.

With each passing day, Melody’s voice grows stronger and her heart more hopeful. She keeps her mother’s favorite hymn tucked inside her locket because it feels like a roadmap for living the kind of life she desires.

Outside of the safe bubble of her upbringing, not everyone is as welcoming as Aunt Delia. Violet Black, a high-society local beauty, tries to destroy Melody’s reputation. Melody has everything she ever wanted within her reach, but at a cost that could silence her very soul.

She followed the song in her heart—but to keep her voice, she’ll have to choose what truly matters.

A glimmer of fairy tale, a spoonful of history, and a teacup of hope.

Meringue Melody is a stand-alone novel in the Apron Strings Tea Tales multi-author series, and a 1920s historical romance retelling of “The Little Mermaid.”

"Will you bring some candy for tomorrow?" Jackie`s voice was desperate. Before Preston could answer, there was the sound of crashing glass on the other end of the phone.

"Are you all right?" Preston asked his oldest friend. He somehow managed to balance a plate of leftover salad with a cup of almond milk while keeping a good grip on his cell. "What are you doing?"

"Getting ready for the party tomorrow. Or trying to."

"And that involves breaking glass?" Preston smiled. Coffee Time Romance & More

Insta-Coffee My sister’s best friend just became my biggest problem.
And by problem, I mean the girl I’ve wanted since I was twenty.

The same girl who shattered me seven years ago—
Now back in town, all sunshine smiles and smart-mouth comebacks.

Sam’s here to help my family rebuild after the fire.
I’m here trying not to want her.
We’re oil and water… until a sick horse forces us to work side by side.

One storm.

One cabin.

One kiss I can’t take back.

After that, it’s a losing game.
Fixing fences together.
Her laugh in my truck.
That look she gives me when she thinks I’m not watching.
Somewhere between hating her and needing her, I fall.

Then her Ex shows up ready to take her from me — angry, dangerous, and ready to take her from me.

If I lose her again, I won’t survive it.
And neither will the man who tries

Insta-Coffee The king is dead. Ellevail has fallen. And I’ve been kidnapped by an annoyingly sexy, shadow-wielding prick.

When Kade Blackthorn kidnapped me in the middle of the siege, he sealed his fate. I will never trust his lies again.

With the marriage trials interrupted and my father dead, the throne is at risk of falling into the hands of his duplicitous royal advisor. But being hundreds of miles from home, there’s nothing I can do until I find a way to escape the arrogant man who stole my heart. No matter the cost.

Trapped in a kingdom that shouldn’t exist, brutality, betrayal, and a tyrannical king are just a few obstacles standing in my way of returning home. Now Kade has a prophecy of his own. One that seems too connected to my own to be a mere coincidence. Falling for him made me vulnerable once before, and it`s a mistake I won’t make again.

The fate of Brookmere is at stake, so I will bury my feelings, escape my possessive captor, and return to those I left behind.

Even if doing so breaks my heart all over again.

Shadows of Ruin is the second book of The Broken Prophecy Series, a slow burn, NA / adult romantasy. Readers are encouraged to review the list of content notes inside before diving into this enemies-to-lovers, shadow daddy romance.

Insta-Coffee The threat to all werewolves draws Amir and Oliver together, even as their wounds threaten to rip them apart.

Trust is Earned (Medically Necessary 1): Amir is a General Practitioner for magical creatures, particularly werewolves. When the leader of all werewolves comes to him with a problem that presents like psychosis, Amir needs help. Oliver’s nursing a grieving heart and a chip on his shoulder. Still, when Amir asks for his help, he jumps at the chance. The submissive wolf is beautiful.

Trust is Fraught (Medically Necessary 2): As the leader of the werewolves sinks further into insanity, Amir and Oliver fight prejudice and time to rescue their alpha. As Oliver and Amir are pulled deeper into the dangers of the psychic world, their love may be the only thing keeping them sane.

Trust is Sacred (Medically Necessary 3): Oliver’s terrible secret is eating him alive. Amir thinks purging and confession are medically necessary for spiritual and physical well-being, but Oliver will stop at almost nothing to hide his scars.

Can either of them learn to trust?

Excerpt from Trust is Earned

He had tended to different members of the Tilthos and Merle werewolf packs over the years. Being positioned in southern Erie County, located in Upstate New York, had been the best thing he could do for his medical practice. Once he’d finally convinced Nicholas Black of the Merle pack in Buffalo, New York, to work with him as the werewolf equivalent of a midwife, his office was often full to bursting with pregnant female werewolves. emilycarrington

Insta-Coffee I slept with my dead brother’s best friend.

Now I’m pregnant with his baby

He’s the last man I ever wanted to see again—

my brother’s best friend, the one who disappeared after the funeral, and the reason half this town still whispers when I walk past.

Now he’s back.

Billionaire. Grumpier than ever.

And offering to save the café I’ve bled for—on his terms.

I swore I hated him.

But when we got stuck together during the storm, the fight turned into a kiss.

The kiss turned into a night. And that night turned into two pink lines.

He’s infuriating, arrogant, and completely off-limits.

But he holds my hair when I’m sick. Fixes what’s broken without being asked. And says he’s staying—for me.

I told myself it was just one mistake. But now I’ve fallen for him.

And if the town ever finds out I’m carrying Cole Ramsey’s baby?

I won’t just lose my reputation—

I’ll lose everything I’ve worked for
