About this ebook

rrhythmia Texas Hearts

This small Texas town is totally off the grid. It’s not on any map you’ll ever see!

And why, do you ask? Because it is teaming with growly, snarly, snappy Monsters, that’s why!

We’ve got a Lone Wolf Sheriff, a Dragon Warden, a sassy Necromancer who just opened a Hellmouth, and a whole flock of Witches, Shifters, Vampires, Gorgons, Yetis, Bigfoots (or is it Bigfeet?), and more!

This town is just one supernatural catastrophe away from announcing that monsters really do exist to the whole dang human world!

We’ve got bats in the belfry, spooks in every closet, ghosts roaming the cemetery, spells gone awry, and every full moon there’s a pack of Coyote Shifters streaking through Main Street.

The one thing every citizen can agree on is without your fated mate, life sure is lonely. But the odds of finding yours here? Slim to none.

See, there’s nothing normal about the hearts in this town…and we like it that way!

Trick or Treat for the Desperate Devil

Love was the last thing I was looking for—but in Arrhythmia, every trick comes with a treat.

There’s nothing normal about Arrhythmia, Texas—and I should know. I’m Damian Leeds, resident Jersey Devil, professional recluse, and currently one magical mishap away from losing control completely.

My magic is running amok. My shifts are getting harder to control. And according to every supernatural law I’d rather ignore, there’s only one thing that can fix me.

My fated mate.

Too bad I’ve given up on finding her.

Then Belinda Ramos rolls into town and reopens her recently deceased aunt’s haunted bed-and-breakfast.

She’s a Witch with practically no magic, my brand-new neighbor, and a walking invitation for everything I hate. Her B&B caters to lovesick newlyweds, honeymooners, and longtime couples looking to rekindle the romance.

In other words, my own personal hell.

With Halloween approaching, I decide a few well-placed tricks might convince Belinda—and her ridiculously romantic clientele—to leave me in peace.

Except Belinda doesn’t scare easily.

And the more I try to drive her away, the more my Devil wants her close.

Turns out my annoying new neighbor isn’t just the Witch next door.

She’s my fated mate.

And this desperate Devil just found the one Halloween treat he intends to keep forever.

An adorably spooky, small-town monster romance with fated mates, supernatural mayhem, a haunted B&B, a no-talent Witch, and one desperate Jersey Devil who’s about to discover that sometimes the best treats don’t come wrapped in candy.

Ratings and reviews

Ooh! What a perfect read for Halloween! The banter and witty moments grabbed me from the beginning. I loved Damien and Belinda’s characters. The sparks flew from the moment they met, instant attraction they both tried and failed to hide, a connection that just kept growing and a magic about to burst free. I loved the ghosts, the characters, the surprise twist and the romance. This is one magical, sizzling and satisfying read in a town called Arrythmia you need to add to your reading library

Damian is a Jersey Devil and is cursed until he finds his promised one. When he meets his new neighbor, Belinda Ramos, a witch with very few powers, he immediately offers to buy her out. She refuses and he starts to wonder if she could be his promised one. This story has laugh out loud moments, great characters with wonderful banter between Damian and Belinda. It's a hilarious fun read and I loved it.

Damian has a lot to learn about Belinda. He starts off on the wrong foot, finally getting his steps correct. I thoroughly enjoyed this paranormal romance, and everything about Arrythmia, Texas!
