...Tea, Love … and Revolution!
The Rebel Mechanics aren’t the only group plotting revolution against the magical British Empire.

Now Katie's under a spell that obscures her true identity,
...Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. In a painfully selfless gesture, Katie had left the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm–after all, Katie just seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen’s job a lot harder....
At last, Owen Palmer, the dreamboat wizard at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has conjured up the courage to get Katie Chandler under the mistletoe at the office holiday party. But just when it looks like Katie has found her prince, in pops her inept fairy godmother, Ethelinda, to throw a wand into the works. Ethelinda’s timing couldn’t...

...A Questing We Will Go
Now that the Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc. team has defeated the nefarious Spellworks, the only "competition" in town, Katie Chandler doesn't have much to do as director of marketing, and she's starting to question her role at MSI.

But then he finds that the cryptic text describing the location of
...Wedding Bells or Magic Spells?
Katie Chandler's wedding day is coming soon, and she and Owen Palmer have a lot to do to make sure the event is magical. That makes this a very bad time for rumors about magic to be hitting the general public, even the television news.

...It's the event someone's dying to attend . . .
The grand-opening party at a new bed-and-breakfast in a vintage farmhouse that's supposedly haunted poses quite the dilemma for Lexie Lincoln. Most of the other guests are noted ghost hunters, and since Lexie actually can see ghosts, she'll know whether they're frauds and whether the inn really is haunted. But showing what she knows or honestly reporting on what she sees

...Before Katie met Owen, the Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., team already had a job to do.
There's spellcasting skullduggery at work in Manhattan, and Sam the gargoyle is on the case. This time, the shady spells look awfully familiar, like the work of outcast wizard Phelan Idris. There's just no real evidence of his involvement, and without that, the MSI team can't do anything to stop him from wreaking magical havoc in the city. To track
...Welcome to Rydding, the hidden village you might stumble across if you need a home and a fresh start.
For Elwyn Howell, the village is a lifesaver when she finds it just as she's run out of strength and hope while running for her life.
