A mage without magic. A hellhound without a home. A greedy wolf pack in the hills.
Ash is technically a fire mage, but he can’t do much. Turning his bedroom lights on and off without having to get out of bed isn’t exactly awe inspiring, not when anyone with the right gadget could clap and do the same thing.
Worse, sometimes he senses something bigger and brighter lurking under his skin, and it feels so familiar he knows it has to be his magic, but then he burps or sneezes, and the feeling passes. So it’s probably just allergies… or gas.
Yeah… Not exactly brimming with magical oomph. Not anymore.
It sucks.
But things start to change when he finds Dillon, a hellhound, being chased through the woods by an angry wolf pack. He is instantly smitten and it’s like something inside him unlocks. What’s even crazier is Dillon seems to think Ash still has magic… and now Ash isn’t sure what to believe.
What he does know is he’ll do what needs to be done to protect his friends and the little supernatural town of Willow Lake from the dirtbag wolves in the hills. Even with his magic on the fritz he can help, right? And, with Dillon at his side, what could possibly go wrong?

This is the first book in the new Willow Lake Pack series, because the quirky supernatural small town of Willow Lake needs more happily-ever-afters! Everything kicks off with Levi and Parker’s story (aka our favorite minotaur and his favorite human)! Yay! They’ve waited so long!
Blurb and cover to come.
Note: This is a fun paranormal romance spin-off from the Willow Lake Supernaturals series. In it, you’ll find a lot of familiar characters but you do not need to read that series before you dive into this one. If you are curious about what happens in Willow Lake Supernaturals, you can start with Hellhounds Never Lie (Book 1).
Characters: Levi and Park
Release date: February 5, 2026 (but this book is expected to release earlier than this!)
