An Elixir for Wanderlust

Having once escaped the dark waters that cursed him, a young witch returns home to face the evil targeting his loved ones--whatever the consequences. After almost a decade away, Taliesin Ashborne has come home to attend his grandfather's funeral. While past tensions still linger between him and his family, a stiff drink and a steamy encounter with Kessian, the gorgeous man who approaches him at the wake, really takes the edge off. But the old magic of Shearwater Spring has left more scars on Tal than he realized. Nine years ago, twenty-four townspeople, including Tal and his father, mysteriously walked into a deep river one night--and only Tal returned. To this day, something dangerous lurks in Shearwater's black waters. It's hunting down everyone Tal loves, and after it got his twin, he couldn't stand to lose anyone else. Hoping to rid him of this curse once and for all, his sibling Fae urges him to see the town's new healer . . . who just so happens to be Kessian. Trying to keep his emotions in check--for not only his own benefit but also Kessian's safety--will be anything but easy for Tal after nine years of isolation. Now, with a wraith hot on his trail, he must uncover what corrupted the ancient magic of the river so he can finally come home for good.
