Phoenix Touched: A sweet small-town paranormal romance set in Everdell Hollow

In the hidden coastal town of Everdell Hollow, magic hums through every tidepool and charm-lit street. Isla MacBride, a selkie spa owner, has devoted her life to helping others heal—soothing the aches of merfolk, dryads, and fire-touched travelers alike. But even the most gifted healer can forget how to rest.

When Alasdair Blackwood, a phoenix-touched chef who’s lost his magic, arrives seeking recovery, Isla offers him the kind of care she gives everyone else—gentle, professional, and perfectly contained. Yet as she helps him rediscover his fire, Alasdair begins to awaken something long dormant in her: the quiet desire to be cared for, too.

Their connection unfolds slowly, like sunlight warming the sea—tender, emotional, and quietly transformative. Amid salt air, moonlight, and the soft rhythm of waves, Isla and Alasdair must learn that healing isn’t just about restoring what was lost, but daring to build something new together.
