Tammy Jo’s misfiring magic has attracted the unwanted attention of WAM, the World Association of Magic. Now, a wand-wielding wizard and a menacing fire warlock have come to Duvall to train her for a dangerous mandatory challenge. But is there more to their arrival than they claim?
When a curse leads to a toxic spill of pixie dust, the town comes unglued and the doors between the human and faery worlds begin to open. To rescue the town and to face the impossible magical test, Tammy needs the help of incredibly handsome Bryn Lyons, but WAM has declared him totally off-limits. To avoid deadly consequences, Tammy probably ought to follow the rules this time…
On the other hand, rebellion is an old Texas tradition.

“WOULD-BE WITCH is one heck of a debut from Kimberly Frost. From one misadventure to the next, I was kept turning pages to find out how everything was resolved in the end. We have everything from ghosts and zombies to… werewolves in this story. And how Tammy Jo managed to end up going from the frying pan into the fire kept me laughing all the way through the story. This is definitely an excellent read, and for a debut, it’s nothing less than fantastic. This is one author I’ve added to my auto-buy list and I intend to watch her releases very closely in the future. I sure don’t want to miss what further misadventures Tammy Jo becomes involved in. I very highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good paranormal read.”

“A love triangle that delivers real sex appeal! The first in a fantastic new Southern Witch series. Tammy Jo is a delight…Zach is cowboy sexy and I couldn’t stop rooting for him and Tammy Jo, despite the divorce…The darkly sexy Bryn won me over early in the book, and for the first time in a long time, I found myself enjoying a bonafide love triangle…this was one sexy story. Kimberly Frost has written a true delight with WOULD-BE WITCH. It’s laugh-out-loud funny and has true southern charm. Tammy Jo brought so much personality to this story that I absolutely hate the idea of waiting for the next book—I want it now. WOULD-BE WITCH is a book worth devouring, and I certainly did devour it in one sitting. Excitement, action, and men to die for makes Would-Be Witch easy to love! If you find humor sexy, you won’t want to miss this one.”
