Mid-Life Haunts Books in Order

A prophecy, a tainted innocent, a cursed land...one hell of a mid-life crisis!

The land started dying the day she left. Everyone blamed the witch.

Cleo Channing hasn't been home in twenty-five years. She left at sixteen — pregnant, ashamed, and convinced that the blight creeping across her family's land was her fault. Something broke in her the night Jake Killian touched her, and the mountain has been dying ever since. At least, that's what she's always believed.

Now her mother is dead, the manor is hers, and 1,500 acres of wasteland are waiting for answers she doesn't have.

So is Jake Killian. The man she's blamed for everything is now the county sheriff, and he's standing on her porch because two foster girls have turned up bruised, terrified, and gifted in ways their church calls demonic. The cult that had them wants them back. The pastor running it has been operating under false names for thirty years. And the blighted mountain Cleo thought she'd cursed? Someone's been using it as a graveyard.

Cleo came home to bury her mother and sell the house. Instead she's sheltering children a fanatic wants dead, working with a man she can barely look at, and discovering that the "toxic" magic she's spent half her life suppressing might be the only thing standing between two girls and a congregation of fifty who believe the cure for witchcraft is fire.

She's forty-one, divorced, and done apologising. The mountain has been waiting for her to figure that out.

A woman who thought she was the curse. A land that knew better. And a homecoming twenty-five years overdue.

Romance where love is the hardest choice — and the most necessary one.
