Not a witch… Not even Cole and Mikey have my back this time. But when news sweeps through town that several teenagers have vanished, I can’t ignore my instincts any longer. No one attacks my home without consequences. Looks like I have to save everyone. And this time, I’ll have to do it alone. *Perfect for fans of Supernatural, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, and smart, stabby heroines.* WILD SPIRIT: ALMOST LIKE MAGIC, BOOK 3 COMING SOON!!!

Trouble With the Truth

By: J.L. Minyard

Roommates, hookups, friends, idiots. What could possibly go wrong? Emory Storey is a strong, independent college student, if a bit directionless and surly. The last thing she needs is a relationship—platonic, romantic, or otherwise. Too bad she’s stuck in a roommate agreement with Sebastian Rees, a devastatingly attractive fifth year senior with more abs than ambition. Their single hookup over a year ago was a mistake not so easily forgotten. They’ve both—silently and separately—agreed to keep their distance. Not an easy task when Emory can't stop thinking about the taste of his mouth. Or what his body feels like pressed to hers. When a rogue winter storm traps them together with no power or heat for days, they're forced to confront their one time together…and come out on the other side in a roommates-with-benefits arrangement, a complication Emory finds impossible to resist. What was supposed to be no strings sex quickly morphs into late night gaming, inside jokes, and wing eating contests…and something that feels suspiciously like real friendship and real feelings. But someone else is jealous. Someone else wants Emory. Someone who may not take no for an answer…forcing Emory to take a stand if she wants to claim her happy ending. Trouble With the Truth is chronologically the third book in the Penn Warren University series but can be enjoyed as a standalone. It is intended for mature readers
