Weightless

But when Jae-sung’s bandmate Park Dae-jung is cast in a movie with Katie, sparks fly between the two leads. Will Dae-jung pursue Katie even if it could tear their whole band apart?

How will Katie, Jae-sung, and Dae-jung overcome their feelings of guilt and choose forgiveness for themselves and each other?

Love As Soft As a Distant Star

Remi Nomura married Isaiah Won out of duty as fellow Witches’ Council members. She never expected to love him—especially since he’s in love with someone else.

After a decade of marriage as Tranquil Valley’s council representatives, Remi Nomura and Isaiah Won have their routine. Remi handles administration, spells, and making sure Isaiah stays warm during the winter. Isaiah manages townspeople and harnesses his raw magic for big projects. (He’s also responsible for breakfast.) Their quarterly consummation rituals are performed with appropriate seriousness (and predictability).

But when Remi accidentally falls in love with Isaiah, her feelings disrupt their careful balance. (How gauche. They’re co-workers, not lovers.) It’s particularly inconvenient since Isaiah loves their mutual friend Miles Tang.

After her secret shatters both relationships, Remi must decide if hiding her heart is worth the cost, while Isaiah reconsiders everything he thought he knew about love.

Grab a cup of tea and settle in as Remi and Isaiah discover just how loud (and how quiet) love can be in the cozy yet steamy fantasy novella “Love As Soft As a Distant Star,” the first in the Witches’ Council series.
