Hearts, Hares & Hidden Snares by Ellery Larkspur

A witch who can’t break her word.
A grumpy bookseller she shouldn’t fall for.
A village where magic sleeps in the woods… until she wakes it.

Eira Merrick has never broken her word. Not because she’s a particularly good person, but because she can’t. A generations-old curse binds every Merrick witch to their promises, and Eira knows better than to speak lightly. Yet when her dying aunt demands two final oaths, she cannot refuse them. She promises to find a way to end the curse, and she promises to not fall in love until it’s gone.

Her search leads her to Harehollow, a postcard-perfect village hiding prickly neighbours, endless secrets, and one exceedingly difficult bookshop owner named Temple. When she accidentally awakens a dark enchantment slumbering in the woods, Temple saves her, and in doing so, he reveals there is more to Harehollow—and to him—than she ever imagined.

Temple may be the key to breaking her curse. He might also be the reason she breaks her promise.
And for a Merrick witch, breaking a promise isn’t just forbidden. It’s fatal.

Hearts, Hares & Hidden Snares
is a cozy fantasy romance set in a magical, fictional Britain, with witches, fae, magical villages and a dash of spice. It is the first of a duet, with an HEA in book two.
