Frustrated, longing for love, and...cursed.

With the help of her arrogant Morkie familiar, Fortune Whittle is a single woman in her forties straddling two worlds-the Unremarkable world of humans and the hidden fae realm that has invaded her city. But she’s not just an ordinary woman. She’s a cursed witch, hiding her secret and struggling to control her magic without the help of a charmed copper band. Should she submit to Nana’s demands to join the local coven for help, or continue her quest in solitude?

After the tampering of a portal in a local lagoon, Fortune begins to question everything. Two gorgeous men-one a local Unremarkable detective from England and the other a Tylwyth Teg fairy-compete for her attention while she races against time to uncover the cause of a mysterious series of drownings.

Fortune’s Curse is Book 1 in Witches of Long Beach, an enthralling, character-driven urban fantasy series. If you like urban fantasy with flawed but strong heroines, found family, mystery, humor, and sizzling romance, you’ll love this new series from author J.C. Yeamans.
