Spellbound Secrets (Book 9: Hemlocked and Loaded)

She should be thinking about flowers, dresses, and happily ever after.

Instead, she’s defending a man accused of causing a death.

When Seamus, a pixie, dies from hemlock poisoning, suspicion falls on Tomlin Breezeway, a werelynx who used the deadly plant without realizing what it was. The case forces Emma to confront one of the most difficult questions of her career:

Can someone be guilty of a death they never intended to cause?

As Emma investigates, the truth becomes more complicated than a simple murder.

But while she fights for justice in the courtroom, another mystery is unfolding much closer to home.

Emma has begun reading letters left behind by her biological mother. The woman she has spent her life knowing only through fragments of memory turns out to have been far more powerful—and far more connected to Spellbound—than Emma ever imagined.

Her mother was a Warden of the West.

She knew about the old town.

She knew about the curse.

And the more Emma reads, the more impossible the truth becomes.

Because if her mother knew what happened to Spellbound, there is only one question Emma can no longer avoid:

Was her own mother responsible for the curse that trapped an entire town?

With her wedding approaching and the secrets of her past finally surfacing, Emma realizes that breaking Spellbound’s curse may mean confronting the person who started it.

And the truth could change everything.
