The problem is, it comes with a curse cast by a jealous god to sink our island into the ocean. As the descendant of Scorpio, I have the power to stop it. But I can’t access my magic unless I touch my complete opposite—an arrogant Taurus who also happens to be my ex-boyfriend’s brother. And the energy between us comes with the unfortunate side effect of making me want him. Wes: I’ve been in love with Audrey for over ten years. Not only does she have no idea, but she hates me with every ounce of her Scorpio passion and intensity. After I talked my brother into leaving the island without her, she cut me out of her life, and now we both have magic we can’t use unless we touch. Not to mention the ancient curse we have to fight in order to have any hope of saving our home. The magic makes her think she wants me, but I won’t take her to bed unless she’s a hundred percent willing and in her right mind. This is going to be a lot harder than battling the wrath of a god. A Touch Magical is the first book in the 18+ steamy Zodiac Cove series. Each book in this series features a different couple, opposite star signs of the zodiac, who must all work together to take down the curse threatening to destroy their island. less

As the whimsical beekeeper and florist of the island, she’s always believed in the power of nature and the unexplainable. Unfortunately, fate paired her with the ultimate stoic grump and her complete opposite, the intimidating Cole Latham. And he doesn’t want anything to do with Brooke or magic.Cole has spent his life being groomed to be the head of the Latham family and CEO of their sprawling empire. A Capricorn to his core, Cole considers himself the most grounded of the earth signs and has no time for the humor, light, and love that are so much a part of his brothers’ lives. He wants to work, go home, and generally be left alone to brood.But when the curse traps the residents of Zodiac Cove on the island and blocks out the sun, work grinds to a halt, and surviving day-to-day while keeping the town from spiraling into panic becomes a new full-time job. When walking along the beach to escape the constant pressure, the curse attacks and tries to drag him into the ocean, making it clear he has no choice but to work with the pretty hippie who makes his blood run hot and flips his protective instincts into overdrive.But neither is prepared for what their combined powers create, and they have no clue that they hold the key to unlocking another piece of the past. One that could change everything in the fight to save their island. If they can’t put their differences aside and learn how to lean on each other, all will be lost—because the curse is gearing up for the final phase and they no longer have any means of escape. less

But no one blames her more than Rafe Wilder, her former best friend and the man she’s been in love with since she first laid eyes on the lonely, haunted boy in the woods.But with the curse winning in its quest to sink their island into the sea, everything hinges on her ability to work with Rafe. As the descendant of Sagittarius, Jocelyn can weave the illusion necessary to bring the curse’s human host to his death, but her magic is useless without Rafe’s trust. And earning that will prove to be more difficult than battling the black magick from an ancient god.Rafe Wilder has loved one woman his entire life. Unfortunately, that woman was off-limits long before he ever came to Zodiac Cove. Having spent the last four years blaming himself as much as Jocelyn for his best friend’s death, the moody Gemini doesn’t know how to dig himself out of the cycle of guilt and blame that keeps him from claiming the woman who should’ve always been his.But when they’re trapped in Jocelyn’s apartment together, they have no choice but to face their past. Especially when Jocelyn keeps weaving memories that reveal the pieces she’d kept from him. And when that reckoning finally comes to a head, Rafe will have to hold them up in more ways than one. Because the curse is eating away the land beneath their feet, and their combined magic is the only hope they have of stopping it. less
