A woman starting over. A new house with an unexpected twist. A cape wearing butler acting as the world's worst life coach.
"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of twenty years packs up and heads for greener pastures and my son leaves for college, that's exactly what my life becomes.
Do-over.
This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at forty I'm ready to carve my own path.
Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills. I'll be taking care of a centuries old house that called to me when I was a kid. It's just temporary, I tell myself. It'll just be for a while.
That is, until I learn what the house really is, something I never could've imagined.
Thankfully forty isn't too old to start an adventure, because that's exactly what I do. A very dangerous adventure that will change my life forever. I have a chance to start again, and this time, I make the rules.

Magical Midlife Madness is book one in the Leveling Up series by K.F. Breene
Divorced at 40 isn’t an ending; it’s a powerful new beginning.
This book is a magical adventure! Our lead heroine enters a world full of wonder and finally sheds the stillness of her old life to embrace her strength and freedom. The cast of characters is a delight—witty, funny, and perfectly balanced. The budding romance is sure to blossom throughout the series, and the unique, magical house is a charming bonus. A truly fun read!
It’s a delight to follow an older heroine as the main protagonist, especially with the added bonus of wonderful paranormal elements. I adored exploring the magically-infused Ivy House, with its secret passages, unique surprises, and rooms just waiting to be uncovered. Beyond its walls, the town is a haven for misfit supernaturals, all kept safe by the formidable lone alpha shifter, Austin Steele. I’m eager to learn more about this world!
Magical Midlife Madness is a captivating story proving that life—and magic—truly begin after 40. Looking forward to reading on in the Leveling Up series.
