Captivating Her Warlock — Casey Hagen

Cleona Rowan lives a straightforward life working double shifts at Sam's Diner, feeding strangers passing through, in order to take care of her ailing mother as Parkinson's steals her a piece at a time. She doesn't have the luxury of indulging in fantasies, especially when they all center around one tall, muscular, motorcycle-loving man.

And her landlord.

Leander Braden, bike enthusiast, invested all the money he'd earned over the years restoring old Harleys into a quaint mobile home community tucked behind Sam's Diner. All he wants is to remain comfortable in his anonymity…and maybe a few hot nights with the object of his most recent obsession, Cleona. If only he could resist the urge to fall head over heels in love with her without guaranteeing he would break her heart.

With neither Cleona nor Leander willing to make the first move, circumstance forces them to step into their destinies and seek out pasts they'd long thought buried. Will their reluctance to become who they're destined to be and their headstrong desire to exert control over their mutual realities cost them precious time in the looming battle against hostile evil?

***This is a former Kindle Worlds novella. It is also a cliffhanger of sorts. While the romance resolves, there is an overall ARC spanning the entire four novellas.
