Pesto & Potions

by Kat Blakely , RA Gates , Kelly Haworth , Cheryl Mahoney

With vampires on the rise and the city under threat, who would have thought love – and a long lost recipe for pesto - could bring everything undead to a head?

Lola Morelli enjoys her life in Sacramento - jumping over walls with her parkour team during the day and climbing the kitchen ladder to be head chef at the hottest restaurant at night. Even her love life is going great. She doesn't have one special woman in her life, she has several. Sure, she’s concerned about all the stories of the Disappeared, but the rise of missing people isn't enough for her to change her ways. 

Charlie Ryan has a lot on her shoulders - dancing as a professional ballerina, grieving the loss of her grandparents, and facing pressure from her fellow witches to help with the growing vampire menace. It's a lot for one woman to handle. But life starts looking up when she meets the attractive chef at her new favorite restaurant, and not just because she can make an amazing vegan dish or keep up with Charlie at a Pilates class. 

With the number of Disappeared growing, Charlie’s coven is desperate to protect the people of Sacramento. It isn't until Charlie meets Lola that the witches find a delicious secret weapon that could tip the balance against the bloodsuckers. But will Lola understand that Charlie’s not just into her because of her pesto recipe? Can Lola and Charlie's new spark of romance withstand the secrets and lies needed to keep everyone safe? 

About the Authors

Kat Blakely

I'm a lover of coffee, cats, chocolate, and compelling fiction. I've been writing most of my life, but got serious about it in 2011. I write romantic paranormal/urban fantasy, involving secrets, prophecies, and quests; mingled with adventure, mysteries, and suspense; searching for found family and true friends; sprinkled with darkness, danger, humor, and a cat or two.

My day job may be in business, but at heart I am a writer.  I have been writing science fiction and fantasy since I was twelve.   I love including characters and themes across the LGBTQ spectrum in my work, as we all deserve to see ourselves in the characters we read.

I live in Sacramento, California with my husband, two kids, and a cat and cockatiel.  When I’m not at work, writing, or chasing my kids, I can be found catching up with TV shows, drawing, or even sewing costumes.
