WITCH OF WILD THINGS

Raquel Vasquez Gilliland

For readers of contemporary romance with a touch of magic, this new series features sisters who must learn to control their powerful gifts as they find love.
Sage Flores has an affinity for plants, but it wasn't enough to save her younger sister Sky's life. She ran from the tragedy, only to return to her hometown eight years later. Like slipping into an old, comforting sweater, Sage takes back her job at Cranberry Rose Company and uses her ability to communicate with plants to discover unusual heritage specimens in the surrounding lands.

What should be a simple task is complicated by her partner in botany sleuthing: Tennessee Reyes. He broke her heart in high school, and she never fully recovered. Working together is reminding her of all their past tender, genuine moments - and new feelings for this mature sexy man are starting to take root in her heart.

But being with Tenn is like standing in the middle of a field on the cusp of summer thunderstorm - supercharged and inevitable.
