At eighteen, Bella Hexley was forced to leave her home—and her magic—far behind. She went to law school, built a career, raised her daughter, and lived a completely normal, spell-free life. Easy… until her husband pulled the ultimate dirty trick: filed for divorce, drained their bank accounts, and somehow convinced the court she’s an unfit mother. Like, seriously?

Now she’s forty, broke, blacklisted, and one mascara smear away from a full-on breakdown, Bella has no choice but to dust off her law degree and seek help in the one place she’s been told she doesn’t belong:Chicago’s Enchanted District—the Midwest’s magical capital.

It’s the only place she can go to reclaim her magic and take on the legal battle that matters: fighting for her daughter. The case is messier than her ex’s Instagram lies. Along the way there’s magical mayhem, shady advice, and Jack—a middle-aged man with a James Bond vibe, salt and pepper hair, electric-blue eyes, and magic that sparks something deep inside her.

But Bella won’t back down. Because saving herself? Totally on brand.

And falling in love along the way? Well… nobody’s perfect.

When Lila Moore inherits her grandfather’s house, she finds herself in a small Midwestern town where margarine is never an acceptable substitution for butter, a coveted family recipe can serve as currency, and the friend who will take your darkest secrets to the grave will still never give you the secret to her prize-winning begonias.

Lila is charmed by the people of Auburn, from the blue-eyed lawyer with the southern drawl to the little old lady who unceasingly tries to set Lila up with her grandson. But when strange things begin to happen, Lila realizes some of her new friends are guarding a secret like its a precious family heirloom. It’s a dangerous secret, and it has come back to haunt them. Lila is caught in the middle, and her life may depend on uncovering it. But even if she can, can she stay in Auburn when not everyone is what they seem, and even the house wants her gone?
