When a magical hotel appears smack-dab in the middle of the most unmagical of worlds, the last thing the residents expect is to fall in love.

Manager of the Number Five Wayside Inn and World Travel Hub, Pax Nomen has one of the easiest jobs in all the known universes, unless you count the occasional plumbing disaster. When Number Five Wayside gets stranded on a non-magical world, even Pax’s trusty Wayside Handbook can’t help him. How is he going to “reboot” the hotel and keep it on its magical journey?

Josie LaChusia is a single mom experiencing debt, having parenting doubts, and tipping dangerously toward depression when an ad pops up on her phone that an apartment is available in a building she’s never seen before.

Pax needs a new guest to restart his hotel, and Josie needs a nudge to restart her life. In a building occupied by faeries, gargoyles, and a gnome with a bad attitude, two souls from very different places come together to create a home like no other.

“Elizabeth Everett has created an absolutely magical world inside Number Five Wayside! I fell head over heels not just for Josie and Pax, but for the hilarious and heartwarming gang of characters, from the cheerleading pixies to the vegan zombies. With a love story as affirming as it is steamy, a richly woven new magical world, and the found family of my dreams, Magic and Mischief [at the Wayside Hotel]… is my new favorite cozy fantasy romance. Everett is a master of the craft and I can’t wait to see what her marvelous brain comes up with next!”—Falon Ballard, USA Today bestselling author of Something Wicked

Especially when you’re a widowed single mother desperate for a change? If you want whimsy in your spring read and found family, this is the book for you.”—In Between Drafts

“Magic and Mischief at the Wayside Hotel is a good, slow-burn romantasy story that is light on the spicy parts, but heavy on the relationship-building aspect. If you like your romance stories on the slow-simmer side with a heavy dose of amusing fantastical creatures, then I would recommend this book in an instant.”—Game Vortex
