A Brewing Romance — Carla L.C.

A witch named Pearl is about to have her world turned upside down. Just when life seemed normal and her days were filled with working at a local bakery, a vampire-cross named Sherwood falls (literally) into her life. Pearl doesn't take heed to the warnings of all her family, friends, and the residents of Raven Wing about vampires, because, well, Sherwood is just too tempting. Sherwood and Pearl discover that a forbidden love has more downs than ups, and causes more problems than could be imagined. It takes meeting the parents to an all-new level. With Pearl's batty relatives, a very overprotective (and jealous) friend, Sherwood's crazed uncles (who are in a secret organization bent on world domination), and a whole town that's eager for Sherwood's departure, it doesn't seem possible for the relationship to last. Pearl finally begins to wonder if she's taken on more than she can handle. Is a life full of hardships worth Sherwood's love? When an old crush comes to town, she starts to wonder just that. Will she finally end her forbidden love with Sherwood, or is it possible that a true romance is brewing?
