Herbs & Hex-breaking (The Apothecary Shoppe Mysteries Book 1)

Hekate Kate Weaver runs the most popular witchy shop in Birmingham, Alabama, but her expertise in herbs and charms is put to the ultimate test when a bride arrives with a terrifying suspicion: she has been hexed. What begins as a simple inquiry into a haunted wedding gown quickly unravels into a dangerous game of dark magick that threatens to claim a life.

To solve the mystery, Kate is forced into a proximity she desperately wants to avoid. She must partner with Dex, the gorgeous, psychic employee from the neighboring bookstore. As a witch who prefers to keep her own intentions guarded, working alongside someone who can literally read her thoughts is a nightmare. The tension crackles as Kate struggles to keep her psychic shields up, hiding a growing attraction that could complicate their professional—and spiritual—alliance.

This enchanting paranormal mystery blends small-town charm with high-stakes spellcraft. As the hex turns its sights on Kate herself, she must rely on her patron deity and her own burgeoning power to survive. If you love stories featuring psychic investigators and simmering forced-proximity romance, this magical series opener will leave you spellbound and eager for the next chapter.
