Summary: That cat is a liar! The “stray cat” Junjie has been feeding and cuddling for months is actually an extremely rare cat shifter. Of course, Leo would have preferred to continue their arrangement of Junjie feeding him choice bits of fish and rubbing his belly, but he needs Junjie’s help and that means revealing his secret. An orphaned kitten needs a home after the fae killed his parents, and Leo is the most irresponsible, feckless, lazy creature in existence. In short, he’s a terrible choice for raising a two-year-old cat shifter. No. The WORST choice. Yet, even after the little boy is settled with Junjie and the rest of the Zhang clan, Leo can’t walk away.

Summary: A supernatural player has met his match. Stone doesn’t have time for this. Fate doesn’t care. Stone is well known for bed hopping. No one expects more of him. That’s a good thing since he currently has a huge issue he needs to solve. Now is definitely not the time for his latest conquest to be his true mate. Especially since that mate is a needy fairy, and Stone is currently possessed by a dark entity he can’t see to fight. Copulation is very close to food for fairies. While they can’t survive on that alone, they also don’t thrive without it. Everyone knows they shouldn’t take going to bed with a fairy seriously. Fairies certainly don’t. That’s why it took Lysander so long to figure out why he couldn’t stay away from Stone. Of all the times to find his mate, this was the most unfortunate. Unbewitched is the seventh book in Charity Parkerson’s Devilish series, where vampires, Weres, demons, gods, and all manner of the supernatural live together beneath the noses of humankind.
