In book one you meet our delicious Alpha Unit leader Aiden McKenzie.

When the topic of grandchildren comes up during a weekly sewing circle the matriarchs of the founding families seek out the witch Elder to scry to see if their sons have mates. They are shocked to discover that many of their sons' mates are out in the world and are human!

Fearing that their future human daughters-in-law will end up dead before being claimed and providing them with grandchildren to spoil, they convince their own mates that something must be done. After gathering all of the warriors together in a fake award ceremony the witch Elder casts a spell to pull the men’s mates to them, whether they want it or not.

Aiden is adamant that he doesn’t need a mate and that they would only get in the way, little does he realize Fate is sending him his mate first! He meets his destined mate Meryn Evans and things go downhill from there. In the first twenty four hours she kicks, screams and knocks her bear shifting mate unconscious. They eventually discover that life before finding each other may have been good, but life afterwards is perfect, even if it involves super soaker battles and accidentally discharging hand grenades.

Bewitched and Bewildered

The series

Full series details →

In a world where paranormal creatures are real, the lines between magic and reality are often blurred. Welcome to the Bewitched and Bewildered series, where destiny isn’t just something you’re born with—it’s something you trip into, often with surprising consequences.

Read full series description

The series begins with a unique, refreshing twist on paranormal romance, blending magic, mystery, and humor in equal measure. At the heart of the story is a cast of fiercely independent women and the alpha males who are somehow both infuriating and utterly lovable. Amid the backdrop of a hidden world of shifters, witches, and immortals, the characters are thrust into thrilling situations, often finding their fates entwined with the very forces they least expect—like soulmates, prophecies, and ancient curses.

From the moment you meet Meryn, the fiercely sarcastic, slightly awkward heroine of My Commander, you’re drawn into a world where every adventure is unpredictable, and every relationship tests the limits of loyalty, love, and sacrifice. As the series progresses, the stakes rise, characters evolve, and what started as a lighthearted romantic adventure grows into something far more compelling—a deep dive into the intricacies of trust, family, and the complex web of emotions that come with choosing a life you never thought was possible.

The Bewitched and Bewildered universe is rich in world-building, from hidden clans of shifters to the unexpected magic that lies within every corner of the realm. Each book delves deeper into the lore of this world, exploring themes of self-discovery, the power of found families, and the deep bonds that are forged through unexpected challenges.

The dynamic between the characters—both romantic and platonic—is what truly elevates this series. The humor is quick, the dialogue sharp, and the chemistry sizzling. But it’s the heart behind the humor that resonates most deeply with fans. Every book brings new revelations, bigger threats, and more passionate love stories, making it impossible to stop reading once you’ve started.

In a genre that often leans toward either dark and brooding or overly lighthearted, Bewitched and Bewildered strikes a perfect balance. Whether you’re new to paranormal romance or an avid fan, this series offers a unique blend of everything that makes the genre so addictive: wit, warmth, romance, and a whole lot of magic.

Ready to get bewitched? This series will leave you captivated, entertained, and eagerly awaiting the next twist in the world of shifters, witches, and soulmates.
