HEX MAGIC
ABOUT
Darragh Cullen was not expecting to find love.
He wasn’t expecting to reveal true witchcraft to the entire world either, but here he is: flying over the moon for Cernun Murphy and under scrutiny from the Moral Authority of Witches.
Being the Guy Who Exposed Magic does have its advantages though. His shop, HEX, is busier than it’s ever been; and life in his little corner of Atlanta is hot and sweaty—plus there’s that southern summer heat.
But when magical artifacts begin to go missing, Learco Clarke, the sexy new head of the Southeastern Division of the MAW, sets his sights on Darragh.
Darragh doesn’t know if he can prove his innocence in time to save himself from being flamed at the stake. But, by the Fae, he’s going to try.

HEXUAL AWAKENING
ABOUT
Darragh Cullen has a secret.
It’s not that he’s a witch. No, thanks to him, magic has been out of the broom closet for a while now. But it’s still one he’s desperate to keep hidden from Learco Clarke, the sext head of the Southeastern Division of the Moral Authority of Witches, despite what his boyfriend Cernun Kyteler thinks.
Yet when the magically mutilated corpses of young witches behin to appear throughout Atlanta, a secret told could save countless lives.
A fire at HEX—the magic shop he inherited from his uncle—and the plague of Balor—the mad king of the Dark Fae—are only the beginning of the darkness to come. Darragh, Cernun, and Learco must work together to find the killer before all of Atlanta goes up in flames.

Darragh Cullen would travel to the moon and back for his boyfriends. And he may just have to.
An early Spring has every witch in Atlanta hot in anticipation of the rites of Ostara, a time when the Solar Equinox promises as much power as it does heat.

So what if Learco Clarke has been acting strange? It's only natural for the temperatures to rise as the Earth shifts to welcome the sun back from his Winter away.
So what if Cernun Kyteler's aura feels new and harsh against his own? Spring, after all, sets the stage for rebirth and renewal.
Darragh loves his boyfriends regardless. And he's about to find out just how far he'll have to go to keep that love.

HEX, BLOOD, & RITUAL
ABOUT
VAMPIRES AREN'T REAL.
At least that's what Darragh Cullen keeps telling himself.
But when the bodies begin to pile up on his trip to New Orleans, he can no longer be so sure.
With the BOG Witch Convention overtaking the Crow's Court Hotel, hundreds of magical creatures are on site when the exsanguinated bodies of humans and witches alike appear. Any of the attendees or staff could be the killer--or become the next victim.
Darragh has four days to discover the truth before the whole of the magical world is changed forever. And if immortal beings are stalking the halls, forever could become a startling reality.
