Hexes & Heartbeats is a spellbinding romantasy that weaves together heart-stopping fantasy adventure and slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, set in a small town haunted by secrets and menaced by monsters. The novel unfolds around Sage Blackwood, an autumn witch tasked with upholding her family's ancient duty of protecting the veil between worlds—especially as the autumn equinox unleashes a dangerous influx of supernatural creatures into Maplewood. As the town braces for chaos, a silver-armed stranger arrives: Kieran Cross, the Crimson Order's most formidable monster hunter, whose tragic past has left him with a deep mistrust of witchcraft. Their first encounter is electric and antagonistic—Kieran mistakes Sage's protective spellwork for summoning shadows, and their confrontation sparks a rivalry both personal and ideological. As the monsters escalate, the mayor forces the two to work together or risk Maplewood's total evacuation. Reluctantly, Witch and Hunter form a tense truce. Every patrol together is a clash of worldviews, yet their combined skills prove formidable—Sage's magic can sense threats Kieran's weapons can't touch, and his combat prowess offers vital protection when wards fail. Beneath their mutual suspicion, cracks slowly form. Training side by side and battling horrors no human should ever see, grudging respect blossoms into a chemistry that neither can suppress. As they uncover clues in ancient grimoires and fight attacks sabotaging their fragile partnership, the forced alliance shifts: the line between hatred and desire blurs, and a single kiss after a near-fatal banshee attack changes everything. But peril still looms. Someone is actively weakening the veil, and a dark hand seeks to destroy both the coven and the Order. The real enemy emerges as Marcus Thorne, a renegade monster hunter wielding forbidden magic and driven by vengeance. Marcus's sinister plan pushes Sage and Kieran to the brink—he plays on their old wounds, sows mistrust, and pits them against each other just as the fate of Maplewood hangs in the balance. At the height of the equinox, Sage and Kieran face their greatest test. Both are nearly torn apart—physically and emotionally—by the chaos Marcus unleashes: monsters spilling into Maplewood, trust shattered, and ancient magic spiraling out of control. Yet, it is only when Witch and Hunter finally unite—combining Sage's seasonal power with Kieran's courage—that they can defeat Marcus, seal the veil, and save their world. In the aftermath, both must confront the cost of victory and the stirrings of something deeper than alliance—a partnership founded not on necessity but genuine devotion. Sage invites Kieran to leave his Order's hatred behind and join the coven, while he offers her a new way of fighting, one without fear. The book ends on a hopeful, magical note: partnership restored, hearts open, and the promise of new beginnings as winter—and a new love story—approaches. Hexes & Heartbeats stands at the crossroads of magic, romance, and redemption, launching the Seasonal Coven Quartet with irresistible charm and tension.
