What A Witch Claims: Magic and Mayhem Universe - What A Witch, #7

A grumpy five-hundred-year-old troll looking for love. Ferdie enjoys his life in Assjacket, West Virginia. He has a snug home under Troll Bridge, a fabulous garden, and good friends. The one thing he doesn't have is a mate. A soul-wounded witch needing to reclaim her life. Living among humans, Witch Morticia MacFebal was a highly acclaimed chef and Paris restaurateur. A poor choice of business partners and one horrendous night has her fleeing, leaving everything she's built behind.
Needing to be safe, she settles in Assjacket among her own kind and works to stake out a new future as a social influencer. Fate laughs and spins her Wheel. Hosting a barbecue, Ferdie meets his predestined mate over a plate of macaroons. She is gorgeous, tall, and slender. He's so homely he's cute and with the build of a bulldog. She could have anyone she wants, so why would she want him? When Ticia is introduced to her troll host, she's shocked to discover he's her mate.
She isn't looking for a mate, isn't ready to claim him, and the very thought of intimacy makes her want to run. But he's . kind. Friendly. Everyone in Assjacket loves him. And the troll is not only a gardener but has cooking talent to rival her own. Surely, she can handle a friendship with him. Maybe. As the bonds connecting them grow ever stronger, love blossoms. She's ready to take the next step when her past threatens to tear everything apart.
