Honey & Hexes

What did she know about me before I knew her name?

ZARA
I came to Honeywell to start over.
A cottage I inherited. Six hives I built from nothing. A quiet life under a Georgia sky that finally felt like mine.
Then I met him.
Shepherd Mercer. The grumpy herbalist next door. The one who built a fence across the meadow to keep my bees off his flowers. The one who hasn't said three kind words to me in six months.
The one who looks at me like he's seen me somewhere before.
I should hate him.
I'm starting to think I can't.

SHEP
My mother died in January.
She left me the farmhouse. The herbs. The work. And a sealed envelope I wasn't supposed to open until I knew the reason.
I thought I knew every secret she had.
I was wrong.
The reason is the woman across the meadow. The British beekeeper with the locs and the laugh and the mouth I can't stop looking at. The one whose great-aunt my mother knew. The one my mother spent thirty years waiting for me to meet.
She doesn't know.
I'm not sure I can tell her.


A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers BWWM cozy fantasy romance with family secrets, found letters, a grumpy Southern hero, a Black British heroine who refuses to back down, and a love story two generations of women have been writing without telling either of them.
