Secrets of the Deadly Nightshades: An Urban Fantasy Novel

Witchlight Cove: where the coffee’s strong, the magic is unpredictable and the bodies keep piling up.

Witchlight Cove was meant to be a fresh start. Instead, I’ve stumbled upon a long-lost grandfather and discovered that my best friend has been keeping a huge secret. As if that weren’t enough, the Eternal Flame – the town’s most important magical artefact and the very one I’m supposed to be guarding – has vanished.

And now a body has turned up, complete with vampire bite marks.

I’d love to say I’ve got everything under control, but I’m barely keeping my life together. My magic is wonky at best, my retriever is more sensible than I am, and Fraser Banks, the town’s dangerously attractive selkie, keeps showing up at the worst possible moments. He seems determined to save me, which is completely unnecessary because I do not need a saviour. Even if having one might be nice.

Meanwhile, a secret guild of assassins, a coven of questionable witches and a murder suspect who might actually be innocent are all vying for my attention.

The deeper I dig, the more I realise this town’s secrets weren’t meant to be uncovered.

Perfect for fans of strong heroines, lovable animal sidekicks, and heart-racing urban fantasy, Secrets of the Forgotten Heir delivers action, charm, and supernatural surprises. With stand-alone mysteries, sharp humour, and a swoon-worthy slow-burn romance spanning the series, it’s an unmissable treat.
