When the animals of Summer's menagerie get loose and create havoc, he decides enough is enough.

Book Synopsis

Small-town witch. Big-time trouble. One seriously sketchy chimp.

Summer Thorne's magical gift is more of a hazard than a help-but it won't stop her from building a sanctuary for creatures no one else wants. Neither will the grumpy sheriff next door breathing down her neck about permits, safety codes, and the very illegal chimpanzee she may or may not have liberated from a testing facility.

Sheriff Cooper Carlyle is a stickler for the rules, which is why Summer makes him absolutely crazy. He's tried to ignore her for years, ever since an ill-fated prom night. But when her mischievous menagerie wreaks havoc across town again, Coop's done playing nice.

Now the ruthless owner of the animal lab has come knocking, seeking clues to a riddle residing only in Morty the Chimp's mind. Coop has a choice to make: he can either enforce the law or break it to protect the woman he's fallen for.

📚 Perfect for fans of Tricia O'Malley, K.F. Breene, Deanna Chase, and Robyn Peterman. Summer Magic delivers a laugh-out-loud blend of quirky magic, sizzling tension, and second-chance romance with bite.
