Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance blended together in a multi-series VERY loosely based on the works of Luis Carroll.
The first series in the A Golden Afternoon multi-series.
Thistle Finley, an austistic herbalist shunned most of her life, discovers that she's a witch when her dog Charlie gets hit by a car and she brings him back to life. But... he's now half-plant and she's now certain the town's crazy cat lady is right. She is a witch.
Alder is a fire elemental witch, tasked with finding and bringing Thistle safely to The Order of Menrva. When he barely saves Thistle from a wraith and she replaces his shredded heart with an emberflower, it doesn't take him long to realize his heart doesn't belong to him anymore.
