Not all guardian angels wear halos. Some show up late, sarcastic, and dressed like trouble.
Harper Adams has a plan: Finish her magic show. Forget her ex. And absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for a mysterious stranger.
Enter Reagan Snow—a time traveler with a bad attitude, a worse track record, and a mission to protect Harper from a future she doesn’t even know is coming.
His job is simple: keep her alive. Don’t get involved. Definitely don’t fall in love.
But Reagan has never been great at following the rules.
As Harper’s world begins to unravel and Reagan’s secrets start slipping through the cracks, fate and free will collide in ways neither of them could have predicted.
Magic is real. Love is messy. And time? Time’s just waiting to complicate everything.
Not to be confused with the book by Janet Chapman—Call It Magic by J.L. Pete is a standalone romantic fantasy about fate, time travel, and falling for the one person you're absolutely not supposed to.
For readers who like their magic a little messy, their time travelers a little reckless, and their love stories a little sarcastic.
J.L. Pete writes poetry and fiction tangled in grief, ghosts, and the strange magic of surviving. Sometimes it’s a novel. Sometimes it’s a poem. Sometimes it's full-blown absurdity with Death Drives a Minivan.
Her work explores heartbreak, healing, and haunted emotional landscapes—with time travelers, Grim Reapers, and emotionally unavailable spirits making guest appearances.
She’s the author of Call It Magic, The Other Side of Nothing, Death Drives a Minivan, and the poetry collection Waiting for Gravity—a deeply personal book written through the voice of Olive, a fictional character first introduced in The Other Side of Nothing, now navigating real-feeling ghosts and grief.
When she’s not writing, she’s probably outside walking her anxious dog, whispering dialogue into the wind, or giving ghosts the closure they never asked for.
She believes in second chances, dark humor, lowercase emotions, and haunting your ex through metaphor.
If you like your stories sharp, tender, and occasionally unhinged—in the way only heartbreak or the afterlife can be—J.L. Pete writes for you.
Especially if you're a fan of Matt Haig, T.J. Klune, Christopher Moore, or anyone who laughs a little too hard at death jokes.
Funny, sassy and a quick read. I love to be entertained and this book did just that. Laugh out loud romance, well written and a fantastic read! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
