Hedge Witch (Witches of the New Forest, Book 1): An Enchanting Paranormal Romance and Mystery With a Small-Town Setting and a Heroine Coming Into Her Own Power

From bestselling author, Joanna van der Hoeven, comes an enchanting series filled with magick, mystery, romance, and adventure!

BOOK 1 (WITCHES OF THE NEW FOREST): HEDGE WITCH

Hunter Williams thought her life was going pretty well. She was the youngest professor at her university, had her own home, and her family lived nearby. She had carefully crafted her quiet life, even as she knew that she was somehow… different. Maybe it was this very strangeness that had caused all her previous romantic relationships to fail. But no matter—her guarded heart would keep her safe. That is, until she and her sister inherited their aunt’s cottage in the New Forest, England.

In the small village of Burley, Hunter discovers that Witchcraft is indeed real, and that there is a community of magickal people hidden beneath the witchy veneer of tourism that abounds in the area. A chance encounter with a handsome green-eyed Druid changes her world forever, and her wounded heart begins to open.

However, the arrival of the two sisters creates tension within the five magickal families that live in and around Burley. And a handsome, mysterious Fae man wanders the nearby wood for reasons of his own. Hunter’s world is thrown upside down, and she now has some difficult choices to make. Will she stay and explore her own magickal legacy? Will she embrace her newfound powers? Does she have the courage to love again? Or will she return to the world that she has previously known, where everything is relatively safe and ‘normal’?
