Publisher's Synopsis
☕ Step into Cauldron Café, where the pastries are enchanted, the secrets are lethal, and the only thing stronger than the coffee... is the magic. ☕
In the fog-draped town of Willowbrook, Marnie Whitethorn has built a quiet life baking enchanted treats at her cozy café-lavender shortbread that loosens lips, mochas that unlock buried memories, and macarons that sweeten even the sourest moods. But when a sharp-tongued food critic drops dead after sipping her Memory Mocha, Marnie's tranquil world crumbles. The sheriff blames her magic. The townsfolk whisper behind her back. And the only ally she can trust is a skeptical detective with a hidden past... and a grumpy Scottish Fold cat who won't stop judging her life choices.
To clear her name, Marnie must dust off the wand she swore she'd never use again and dive into a world of cursed cocoa beans, stolen spellbooks, and a mother who abandoned her to protect a dangerous secret. But as she uncovers a blackmail plot tied to her family's haunted forest, she realizes the killer isn't just framing her-they're threatening everyone she loves.
Can Marnie brew up the courage to embrace her magic, reconcile her fractured past, and solve the murder... before the next victim is someone she can't live without?
