Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin

Another one of my personal favorites, Serpent & Dove, is filled with an enchanting love story where opposites attract and no one knows what's around the next corner. In a world where witches exist only to be hunted and burned by their captors, Louise and Reid have absolutely nothing in common. Lou has fled her coven, never to return, and hides undercover in the city of Cesarine. Here, Captain Reid Diggory spends his days and nights hunting people and other creatures like Louise. It's always been his life's mission to appease the Archbishop and serve in the name of the Church. When destiny finally brings the two together, it is under the most unusual circumstance. The two are forced to marry, knowing next to nothing about the other, now forced to live as husband and wife for the rest of their lives. Lou's magic threatens to surface every day, forcing her to hide her most authentic self from Reid. The two have trouble bonding and trusting each other, which has been difficult for both of them. As time goes on, they eventually start to bond and develop feelings for each other, but Reid still does not know the identity of the person he is married to. If he finds out that Lou is a witch, will he uphold his vow to stay with her until death do them part? Or will he succumb to the toxicity of the Church and exile Lou, taking the torch to her himself? This epic romance is filled with twists and turns that will get its readers immediately hooked and entranced by the magic of it all. Get ready as Shelby Mahurin puts a spell on her readers, making it near impossible to put the beautiful novel down. This book is the first in a series, leaving its audiences to run to the nearest bookstore possible and finish the epic stories of Louise and Reid Diggory.
