Spellbound in the Stacks
K. Iwancio

Faelene Carey owns Ink & Parchment, a bookstore in the small New England town of Thistleton. Not only is she a successful businesswoman, she's secretly a witch who can transform into a cat. It's not that she minds it, there's just one problem. She must find true love before the 13th year after her first transformation or else be cursed to spend the rest of her life as a cat.

Subjecting herself to the hell of dating apps and blind dates, Faelene is stuck in a hopeless tailspin toward tongue baths and a diet of mice.

Thistleton firefighter Aidan Kennedy, stops by Faelene's bookstore like clockwork. She's had a crush on him since the first time he walked through her door. He's polite and gorgeous but incredibly stoic. Try as she might, Faelene can't seem to break through Aidan's tough exterior.

Aidan is holding onto his own secrets. It isn't until he rescues Faelene in cat form from a tree, that she begins to understand what makes him tick. With the covertly discovered information of Aidan's mutual crush, she hatches a daring scheme involving both her human and cat forms in order to get him to open up.

With Aidan's secrets unlocked can Faelene make a move in time to see if he's her true love? Or will she be doomed to be a cat forever?
