From New York Times bestselling author Emily Rath comes a dark, spicy MMF paranormal romance series set on a New England island about the entangled fates of a witch, wraith, and mortal...

Dáinn the Devourer has spent the last two hundred years of his undead life reluctantly bonded to a dark witch, doing her dirtiest work. Devouring corrupt souls may not be satisfying for a wraith, but it keeps him fed.

Sent on a job to Burr Island, Dáinn is forced by his mistress to devour the soul of a powerful rival witch, Jasper Prescott. Dáinn is busy devouring the witch when he’s interrupted by a human. With one word, this human does what no being has ever done…she takes his breath away.

Forced to stop feeding, Dáinn is shattered as the soul he was devouring slips back inside the dying witch. Who is this human? And what dark magic must she possess to stop a wraith? The more Dáinn learns about Birdie Rhodes, hapless historian and sometimes shop girl, the more determined he is to become part of her world.

Sweet Birdie works for the witch Dáinn was ordered to devour. Now Jasper Prescott is on the hunt too. For answers. As a powerful witch, with a coven at his command, Jasper will stop at nothing to find out what magical mischief is happening on his island. Why is a wraith haunting his tea shop? Which fellow witch wants him dead? And who the hell is Birdie Rhodes?

Dáinn, Jasper, and Birdie become entangled in a magical love affair which could lead to their ruin.

Emily Rath

Emily Rath didn’t plan to become one of the most talked-about names in contemporary romance, she simply started writing the stories she wanted to read. What began as a quiet creative outlet during lockdown grew into a literary phenomenon, carried by devoted readers and a viral wave of BookTok enthusiasm. Today, her books reach audiences across the world, blending emotional honesty, humor, and heat in a way that feels both daring and deeply human.

Raised in Northern Kentucky, Rath grew up surrounded by books, horses, and a boundless curiosity about people and what drives them. Before turning to fiction full time, she followed a different calling in academia, earning degrees in political science, philosophy, and peace studies, including a PhD that took her to classrooms and communities across three continents. Those years gave her a fascination with how power, identity, and belonging shape every story we tell. That same insight now pulses beneath her fiction, whether she’s writing about Regency gentlemen navigating forbidden love or hockey players learning how to trust again.

Her breakout Jacksonville Rays series redefined sports romance with its mix of on-ice adrenaline, found family, and sex-positive storytelling. Readers fell for the team’s chaotic charm and Rath’s ability to balance heat with heart. In contrast, her Second Sons Regency series delivers lush historical romance where rules are made to be broken, while her Tuonela Duet dives headfirst into Finnish folklore, exploring gods, grief, and identity in a darkly lyrical world inspired by her own heritage.

Rath’s writing stands out for its warmth, intelligence, and inclusivity. She writes about love that defies boundaries and characters who earn every bit of their happiness. Behind the pages, she lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, son, and a small army of mischievous cats. When she isn’t writing, she’s dreaming up new worlds, sipping iced tea (never coffee), and finding quiet moments between deadlines to recharge by the sea.

From academic halls to viral feeds, from Regency ballrooms to Nordic underworlds, Emily Rath has built a career on stories that make readers feel seen and remind them that love, in all its forms, is worth the risk.
