The Healer's Guide to Managing Telepathy

An empirical empath. An anxious telepath. A connection lost in time.

Elspeth can feel pain that isn’t hers—a Gift that could make her a brilliant doctor, but one that would expose the hidden, magical town of Queen’s Creek to the outside world. Instead of chasing medical school, she apprentices with the local healer, determined to help others without betraying the town she loves.

Caleb hears thoughts that aren’t his own. The intrusive whispers nearly unraveled him before he learned to quiet the noise. But power like his was never meant to be gentle—and choosing restraint over control may cost him more than he’s ready to lose.

They isolate because it’s practical.

Because boundaries are survival.

Their connection is inconvenient,

Ill-timed,

And unavoidable.

When the spell that protects their home collapses, Elspeth vanishes into the past.

Now, separated by three centuries, Caleb and Elspeth must find a way to reconnect before time runs out—for them, and for Queen’s Creek.

Because sometimes love isn’t about falling,

It’s about holding on.

A cozy, time-bending romance about trust, magic, and the lengths we’ll go to for love

The Healer’s Guide to Managing Telepathy is a cozy, no-spice romantic fantasy that pairs an empath healer with an overwhelmed telepath in a grounded, sensory magic system built on connection, boundaries, and care. With a strong, emotionally intuitive heroine at its center, the story explores what it means to carry other people’s pain—and how to choose yourself without losing the ones you love—even as time itself begins to fracture.

Note:

THE HEALER’S GUIDE TO MANAGING TELEPATHY is a Queen’s Creek Side Quest, which means it takes place in the same world as the Cate Corey’s Unmagical Life books (Unmagical, Unforgivable, and Unbelievable), but follows the stories of different characters. In this book, readers learn what Elspeth and Caleb were doing while Cate was trying to save the world. This novel is best enjoyed as a companion novel to the series, or after completing the first three books.
