Wicked Writings by Teresa Gabelman

Piper believed life was an adventure. However, the town thought she was odd because she wanted to write a paranormal book. But after seeing a talking cat, she knew something magical was hidden in the woods. The only person who didn’t treat her differently was Talon, a mysterious stranger who made her want to trust again.
Talon had only planned a short visit to Assjacket, but after meeting Piper, his plans took an unexpected turn. Talon’s mission was clear: protect the town’s magical secrets, which meant ensuring Piper didn’t sell her land or expose them in the book she planned to write. But beyond that, Talon found himself wanting something more—he wanted Piper to stay in his life.

In a world where magic and mystery collide, Piper and Talon must navigate a delicate balance between trust, adventure, and forces that could disrupt Talon’s world.
