A small-town tea shop owner finds herself agreeing to save the world while fighting her attraction to a very hunky demon, the first in a romantasy series by Romantic Times Award nominee Jeri Westerson.
After a relationship gone sour in California, Kylie Strange moves to rural Maine for a fresh start. But she gets more than she bargained for when she finds a supernatural book bricked into the wall of her new shop, Strange Herbs & Teas. As soon as she opens the Booke of the Hidden, the quiet town of Moody Bog suddenly becomes a lot more interesting.
First, a mysterious and handsome stranger calling himself Erasmus Dark shows up unannounced, warning Kylie of untold destruction. And then a local man turns up dead in a most peculiar way, and not long after, the ruggedly attractive Sheriff Ed targets Kylie as a suspect.
It soon becomes apparent that this Erasmus Dark is not quite human at all and knows more than he is willing to admit. But with his reluctant help and the help of a ragtag group of misfit Wiccans, Kylie begins to unravel the Booke's secrets, and finds that the killer is much more sinister than could ever be imagined.
