Hexmas in Silverpine Hollow
(2025)(The first book in the Coven and Claws series)
A novel by Delilah Evermore
When your cozy holiday getaway turns into a supernatural soap opera…
Ruby Roslyn Emberly wanted peace.
After one too many magical ‘interventions’ from the Emberveil Circle, the black-cat witch has officially had enough of coven drama and city chaos. She’s packing up her spellbooks, her favorite mug, and what’s left of her dignity, trading neon lights for pine-scented air and peppermint lattes in the tiny mountain town of Silverpine Hollow—home of her eccentric mother and more enchanted mistletoe than should legally exist.
Her only goals?
☕ Avoid spellwork.
🎄 Bake something edible for once.
🐈 Adopt a familiar cat and not a curse.
But ‘normal’ isn’t in the cards for Ruby.
When her attempt at a quiet night walk ends in a territorial werewolf brawl, her holiday peace goes up in flames—literally. One impulsive spell later, and she’s accidentally saved (and magically bound herself to) the town’s grumpiest Alpha: Talon Frost, a brooding werewolf who hates witches, Christmas carols, and anyone who messes with his territory.Unfortunately for Ruby, Talon isn’t the only Alpha who suddenly has opinions about the witch in their territory.
There’s Asher Rushmore, the charming Beta and second in command with a dangerous smile.
Elliot Ivar, the cinnamon roll Alpha who loves adventure and mayhem.
and Hale Oliver, the quiet, sharp-edged bodyguard whose gaze sees right through her shields.
Now the pack is insisting she stay close ‘for protection,’ the magical bond is behaving like a clingy Christmas ghost, and Ruby keeps stumbling into moments under the mistletoe she absolutely should not enjoy this much.
It’s supposed to be temporary.
A truce for the holidays.
A fake connection to keep the wolves from going to war.
The rules are clear:
No real bonding.
No mixing moonlight and magic.
And absolutely, positively, no falling in love with the Alphas before Christmas Eve.
Too bad fate—and Christmas—have other plans.
🐺 Perfect for readers who love:
→ ✨ witch × pack of protective Alphas
→ ❄️ cozy spice, chaotic magic & fated-mates tension
→ 🎄 small-town Christmas warmth
→ 💋 reverse harem slow-burn heat
→ 🔮 enchanted cocoa, moonlit forests & holiday trouble
Genre: Mystery
