What's worse than inheriting a business you know nothing about? Inheriting a MAGICAL business you know nothing about.
Sage Thorne's carefully planned life just exploded. One minute she's a burned-out corporate lawyer microwaving sad dinners in Boston, the next she's inherited a bakery in the impossibly whimsical town of Moonbridge Hollow—complete with a talking cat who has opinions about her baking skills.
Did we mention the cat talks? Because Basil definitely talks. And he's not impressed.
Turns out Great-Aunt Rosemary left Sage more than just a business. She's now a kitchen witch who can bake emotions into cupcakes—which would be amazing if she had any clue what she was doing. Instead, her magical muffins are about as predictable as a caffeinated squirrel.
But when a vicious food critic drops dead after eating her "perfectly harmless" comfort cupcakes, Sage becomes the prime suspect in a very magical murder. Now she's got 48 hours to master abilities she didn't know she had, solve a crime she didn't commit, and figure out why the devastatingly handsome local veterinarian keeps growling at people.
