My book for today is Bewitching Rosemary by Colleen Delaney

Publication Date: November 19, 2024
With a curse on her bloodline and a soulmate she didn’t expect, Rosemary Bay is set to have a summer to remember on Star Island…
A garden witch who adores meddling in things related to love, Rosemary Bay has been ecstatic with the idea of meeting her soulmate—the other half she’s known over past lifetimes but has yet to meet this time around. But when he shows up as Sheriff Asher Evans, looking for a witch her sister banished to another realm, Rosemary panics. Her days are full of spells, curses, and magical danger—how is a human cop going to fit into her life?
Asher Evans came to Star Island to escape the pain of his past, but when a missing person’s case leads him to the Bay Cottage and he meets Rosemary, his life is turned upside down. Yes, she is beautiful and enigmatic, but why on earth does he feel like he needs to protect a woman he just met?
When a villain from their past life shows up on Star Island, Rosemary and Asher’s happiness will be tested by a centuries’ old curse, an unavoidable destiny, and a metal warlock determined to keep them apart.

First Sentence:
“Whoever might be out here, listening in on this slightly drunk garden witch’s musings,”
