Whiskers In The Fog

A Witch Haven Bay Prequel

On the final day of a secret wizarding conference in a crumbling Los Angeles hotel, Elias Pike meets the woman who could change everything. Marina Vale is clever, captivating, and has the kind of magic that feels like destiny. Their connection is instant—three days of stolen moments, rooftop promises, and a vow to find each other again on the fog-drenched northern coast.

But fate has other plans. When jealousy sparks betrayal, Elias is cursed by rival witch Mirelda Caul and transformed into something less than a man—and far less than the partner Marina deserves. Trapped between two worlds, with only a brass charm at his throat and fading magic at his paws, Elias becomes a tuxedo cat named Pickles. His vow to return to Marina is not broken…but it may take years and a miracle to fulfill.

Pickles crosses paths with Pia Lane, a weary designer with a failing relationship and a stack of dreams she's too afraid to chase. Pia doesn't know her new stray carries the heart of a wizard. All she knows is that the cat with the piercing blue eyes protects her, nudges her toward courage, and makes her believe she deserves a life—and a love—that truly sees her.
