Hexy Beast

She's a chaotic witch. He's a grumpy werewolf pack leader. And according to his pack, they might just be fated mates.

As the eldest daughter of the magical Sherwood family, Effie Sherwood is supposed to be the responsible one.

There's just one problem: Effie has never been particularly interested in doing what she's supposed to do.

Impulsive, unpredictable, and fueled by magical chaos, Effie makes yet another spontaneous decision when she jumps onto the back of Darius Aetos's motorcycle.

Darius is everything Effie isn't—controlled, serious, gruff, and responsible. He also happens to be the powerful head of the Aetos werewolf pack.

Their impulsive adventure should have been temporary.

Then a pack elder announces that Effie and Darius may be fated mates.

Suddenly, the witch and the werewolf are stuck together while they navigate complicated pack politics, unpredictable magic, and an attraction that becomes increasingly difficult to ignore.

Effie may be chaos incarnate and Darius may prefer everything perfectly under control, but under the light of the blue moon, opposites might be exactly what each of them needs.

Funny, magical, romantic, and deliciously spicy, Hexy Beast combines witches, werewolves, fated mates, grumpy-meets-chaos chemistry, and paranormal hijinks in a playful supernatural rom-com.

Perfect for readers who love: witchy romance, werewolf romance, fated mates, grumpy/sunshine dynamics, opposites attract, paranormal rom-coms, shifters, magical families, pack politics, witty banter, and spicy romance.
