She thinks the town hired her for her garden gnomes. He thinks she's hiding a dangerous magical secret. They're both wrong.
At fifty-one, Marcia Softstep is fabulous, independent, and completely clueless about magic. So when the coastal town of Cauldron Crossing offers her a dream job as Curator of Arcane Artifacts, she assumes the eccentric locals simply appreciate her impressive garden gnome collection.
They don't.
The witches of Cauldron Crossing believe Marcia's pristine garden gnomes are powerful magical wards protecting the town. They have no idea neighborhood children scrubbed the gnomes for a school project—or that Marcia's friend knitted a tiny cardigan for the most important one.
Then there's Troy Thistlewood, the town's grumpy magical warden of the forest.
Troy would rather spend his days in the woods than deal with the relentlessly cheerful newcomer who has somehow charmed everyone in town. He's convinced Marcia is hiding a dangerous magical secret, especially when her supposedly decorative stone guardians come to life and start wandering toward the forest.
When a magical mishap forces Marcia to take refuge in Troy's secluded cabin, keeping his distance becomes considerably harder. Between runaway garden gnomes, midnight stakeouts, cozy tea, and laugh-out-loud banter, their unlikely friendship turns into undeniable romantic chemistry.
But the magical trouble in Cauldron Crossing is bigger than a few wandering lawn ornaments. As Marcia and Troy investigate the strange magical disturbances threatening their coastal town, they uncover a mystery that could put the entire community at risk.
Can a clueless newcomer and a grumpy warden save Cauldron Crossing—and resist falling in love along the way?
A cozy paranormal romance featuring a mature heroine, grumpy magical hero, witches and wizards, small-town magic, garden gnomes, magical mishaps, playful banter, slow-burn attraction, found-family friendships, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
