Magic City Trilogy Series

Meet Dar. Dar hates magic.   Years ago, Dar was dating Joel, a talented magician she met at the beginning of college. But then, Joel told her he was going away to study magic at one of the best training programs in the world. But Dar… well, she just wasn't going to fit in with that new life. Because she didn't have magic. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course!   So Joel left her behind.   These days, Dar's happy. She's living in her hometown of Salem, Massachusetts in a cute condo with her girlfriend, Gretel. She's got a normal job planning events for a hotel, she plays softball in the spring, and she can keep any and all magic on the outskirts of her life. It's been years since Joel left and Dar is happy. But now Joel's back. And despite his claims that he's in town for business and he just came by to say hi, things are going wrong for Dar. And between Joel's presence and a wedding that's threatening to burn down her workplace, it looks like magic might be making a permanent return to her life.   The Problem with Magic is 40K words and is Book 1 of the Magic City series.

Dar still hates magic. But now that she's going to be living with her (apparently magical) girlfriend and her ex-boyfriend, she's going to have to get used to it. That's the deal, right? Dar tries to get used to magic and the other two accept that she'll never love it. They're all adults, this should be simple enough.   But, shockingly for Dar, it isn't Joel that's struggling with this plan. Instead, Dar and Gretel find themselves clashing over the topic. Is Gretel getting more controlling over Dar or is Dar being extra sensitive? She's trying to save her relationship, but it gets a lot harder to do when a new wizard comes to town. He's certain Dar didn't destroy a Scarlet Holding with a lawn gnome and he's insistent he's going to learn her secrets.    Dar knew that living with magic wouldn't be easy. But when hostile magic clashes with well-meaning protection, how is she supposed to just get to softball practice tomorrow?    Living with Magic is Book 2 in the Magic City trilogy.
