Caiden Ironwood has been multitasking as a Unit Leader and Elder for so long, that when his father resumes his responsibilities as Elder, Caiden is left feeling restless, with too much time on his hands. Tensions are running high in the city and the amiable peace with Éire Danu has been shattered. Yet, despite his worries, he eagerly awaits the arrival of the mate he has been dreaming of. Over the decades he has cared selflessly for the units and his family, it’s finally his turn to have something just for himself.

Genevieve Taylor is living her best life. The contents of her entire world fit into a Sprinter van that she drives around the country to record videos for her food review vlog. She wasn’t expecting for the most mouth watering thing she has ever experienced to come in the form of a six-foot-three self taught cook.

When an isolated city begins to turn on the unit warriors, can the warmth of hearth and home be enough to remind them of the important things in life?

Alanea Alder

Long before her characters were navigating magical dimensions or stumbling into fated romances, Alanea Alder was scribbling stories in green marker on scrap paper—proof that her worldbuilding instincts kicked in long before publication. Today, she’s known for weaving paranormal romance with a delightful mix of sass, soulmates, and supernatural twists, creating fictional realms that feel oddly familiar—like the dream you didn’t know you’d had until you opened the book.

Best known for her Bewitched and Bewildered series, Alder has carved out a space where fierce heroines, grumpy immortals, and ancient prophecies coexist with laugh-out-loud banter and heartfelt emotional stakes. These stories aren’t just about magic—they’re about belonging, found family, and the chaos that comes when myth meets modern-day mayhem. Whether it’s a warrior vampire learning how to use a smartphone or a military Alpha trying to understand emotions, her characters stumble through their destinies with heart and humor.

What makes her storytelling stand out isn’t just the paranormal flavor—it’s the warmth underneath the fantasy. Her books lean into the idea that even in a world of shifters, witches, and ancient warriors, the most powerful magic is connection. And while the romance is sizzling and the action intense, there's always room for moments that are unexpectedly tender or hilariously awkward—because her characters, no matter how otherworldly, are deeply human at heart.

Alanea’s writing journey didn’t come from literary pedigree or polished workshops—it came from raw love of story, a fiercely curious mind (her personal library includes everything from Kanji flashcards to microbiology texts), and a stubborn determination to tell tales that made people feel seen. Her Kindred of Arkadia series, which predated Bewitched and Bewildered, explored mixed-pairing dynamics in paranormal societies, offering early glimpses of her skill in balancing passion with playfulness.

If you're new to her work, don’t expect cold, detached vampires or overly brooding werewolves. Expect misfit warriors, magical mayhem, and a healthy amount of coffee. And if you're already a fan, you know: once you enter one of her series, you don't just read the story—you move in.

Bewitched and Bewildered

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.

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.
