"Moira Wicked thought life would calm down after her magical 'I do.' Fate has other plans.
With her destined marriage to Liam Good now official, Moira is finally catching her breath—just in time for autumn to sweep into Charm Cove. Halloween is on the horizon, the leaves are turning, and all seems well in the witchy world.
Until a visit to the pumpkin patch turns up a dead body. So much for seasonal fun.
Suddenly, Charm Cove is buzzing with more than just Halloween excitement. There's no obvious magical foul play, but that doesn't keep Moira from landing right in the middle of the murder investigation, especially since she was there when the body was found.
What do pumpkins have to do with murder? Good question.
With the police chief following leads and a few helpful spells cast along the way, the residents of Charm Cove are determined to solve the mystery before All Hallows' Eve arrives in full force.
Because in Charm Cove, even murder can't cancel Halloween."
"Summer in Charm Cove is heating up, and it's not just the weather.
Moira Wicked is up to her eyeballs in wedding plans, thanks to her nosy but well-meaning family. With every witch and warlock in town invited to witness her fated union with Liam Good, she's resigned herself to destiny's wild ride.
She might've wished for a distraction. She didn't mean a siren. When a fishing boat runs aground off the coast, the crew swears they were lured by a woman's haunting song—straight out of myth and legend. Cue the magical chaos.
Charm Cove's witches and warlocks haven't dealt with a siren in centuries, but that won't stop Moira from diving into the mystery. Between enchanted tourists, magical mishaps, and a siren stirring up trouble, Moira has her hands full.
Meanwhile, time is running out.
With her wedding tied to an ancient feud—and the shores of Scotland calling—Moira must juggle supernatural sabotage and seaside serenades before everything goes off the rails.
In Charm Cove, even destiny comes with a dose of magical mayhem."
"Spring has sprung . . . and so have the daisies.
In Charm Cove, Maine, spring means blooming flowers, thawed snow, and just a hint of everyday magic. Moira Wicked is embracing it all—her powers, her future, and her recent engagement to Liam. Life is finally settling down.
Until it starts raining daisies.
One minute, the town looks like a picture-perfect coastal getaway. The next, it's drowning in daisies—falling from the sky, sprouting from rooftops, carpeting lawns, and turning every surface into a floral explosion. Pretty? Sure. Magical menace? Definitely.
Now Moira and the rest of Charm Cove's witchy residents are knee-deep in blossoms, racing to uncover what—or who—is behind the petal-powered pandemonium.
As curious tourists flood the town to witness the so-called Daisy Wonder of the World, Moira has a sneaking suspicion this spring surprise might not be so innocent after all.
In Charm Cove, magic is always in bloom . . . but this time, it might be blooming out of control."
"Deep in the heart of winter, all is quiet in Charm Cove. Or so Moira Wicked likes to think. The charming town in Maine is blanketed with snow, and magic is murmuring under the surface, but nothing is amiss.
Until it's time for maple sugaring season. One of the earliest signs of spring is when the maple trees are ready to tap for sap, which becomes maple sugar, and syrup, and more. Once the first few trees are tapped, Charm Cove residents start reporting missing buckets of maple sap. At first, it's only a few and then it's almost all of them.
It's a maple caper, and Charm Cove residents are riled up.
In the midst of the missing maple sap dustup, Moira finds herself caught in the middle because, of course, everyone she knows is missing maple sap. Maple sugaring is big business, and money is on the line. Who knew money and maple syrup would make people so crazy?
Meanwhile, Charm Cove is still a beacon to the wider world with its magic being bottled up and sold in its charming stores and online.
Take a visit to Charm Cove, where Wicked meets Good and where you just might find there's almost always more than meets the eye."
"The holidays are upon Charm Cove and Moira Wicked is up to her eyeballs in magic as she manages Persnickety Potions & Gifts for her family. One evening after a busy day, she assumes she must be way too tipsy from her wine when she hears a commotion down at the beach by her home.
Nope. Not too tipsy from wine. Lo and behold, a boat was dashed against the rocky coastline in the darkness. That's enough news by itself, but even worse, the three passengers who were believed to have been on the boat have vanished into thin air. So has the man who runs the lighthouse.
To top it all off, Beacon's Charm Lighthouse is broken. That should be impossible because it runs on magic.
Moira is chasing down the leads to find everyone who's missing and get the magic to work for the lighthouse again. Turns out when something runs on magic, the usual tricks don't fix it. The witchy families of Charm Cove find themselves fending off curious queries from officials about just what's wrong with their town's lighthouse.
Meanwhile, throngs of visitors crowd the streets, buying up holiday magic by the bottle. Moira's destiny is bearing down upon her. Will she meet her fate in time for Christmas or not?"
"Moira Wicked is back home for good. She's settling in to help run Persnickety Potions & Gifts, her family's store. Even though she's loath to admit it, she's a bit relieved to be home. Here in Charm Cove, there's nothing unusual about the last name Wicked and it's more uncommon to encounter someone who isn't a witch, rather than the other way around.
Just when Moira thinks life might be quieting down, there's a spate of burglaries around town. It's no accident that the homes and businesses being targeted belong to witches. Once again, the oh-so-charming Charm Cove is all atwitter. Amidst the undercover investigation, tourists are still crowding the streets, seeking the magic and charm of the little town.
Moira is in the middle of sleuthing out what happened, seeing as Persnickety Potions & Gifts was one of the burglar's targets. As if she didn't already have enough going on trying to hold her nosy family at bay.
There's still that pesky destiny she's supposed to fulfill—specifically by marrying Liam Good. She might be on the way to falling in love with Liam, but she's not so sure about marriage yet. A Wicked is fated to fall in love with a Good once every century. No pressure or anything."
"Welcome to Charm Cove, Maine—where the Good are Wicked, and the Wicked are Good . . . or maybe not.
Nothing is ever as it seems, at least not in Charm Cove, Maine. Moira Wicked moves away in the hopes she can escape her fate, or destiny, or something along those lines. She yearns to lead a normal life.
A few years away teaches her one glaring lesson. It's incredibly difficult to be normal when your first name means destiny, your last name is Wicked, and you do come from a family legendary for its witchy ways.
Trying to keep her powers under wraps in the real world is a tad tricky. A love spell gone sideways sets in motion her return to Charm Cove. As bad luck would have it, or fate if you'd rather, she's home for one day when a body turns up floating in the town fountain. The charming Charm Cove is turned upside down. Meanwhile, tourists are crowding its picturesque streets, and magic is being bottled up and sold as health remedies.
Moira finds herself in the thick of the murder investigation, all the while trying to hold her nosy family and destiny at bay. Destiny comes in the form of Liam Good. A Wicked is fated to fall in love with a Good once every century. No pressure or anything."
"Welcome to Lemon Bliss, Louisiana where an abandoned lemon tea factory is the most happening place in town and witches secretly rule the roost. Violet Broussard is busy, really busy. She's running her bakery with her bestie and spinning in circles trying to get up to speed on her, ahem, powers. Life has been a bit crazy all on its own. Throw in Gabriel who's too handsome and charming for his own good, and she's juggling a lot.
Despite the madness, she's discovered Lemon Bliss just might feel like home. On an otherwise uneventful day, a supernatural investigator turns up dead after a night at the defunct lemon tea factory. Though Violet thought the old factory would be the death of her, instead it's been the death of two others. Things get really crazy when it turns out the poor guy died of poisoning from a plant well-known for its use by witches in days gone by. Violet's suspicions are spiked more than her grandmother's lemon tea when she finds her mother and the other older witches snooping about in the factory at night and removing items.
With the supernatural investigators determined to find ghosts in the factory and another mysterious death, Violet is thrown into the middle of the investigation. Again. Breaking and entering has become her go-to power because it's easy-peasy for her. It's all in the name of justice, right? Meanwhile, the supernatural investigators are talking to non-existent ghosts, the lemon trees are blooming out of control, and the older witches are making mischief to throw her off the scent. Loopy lemon tea, witches and wackiness abound in this cozy mystery.
Contains mature themes."
"Welcome to Lemon Bliss, Louisiana where an abandoned lemon tea factory is the most happening place in town and witches secretly rule the roost. Violet Broussard finds herself hanging tight in her tiny hometown, although that most definitely wasn't her plan. She's busy learning all the secrets kept hidden about her, um, secret witchy ways, running the bakery with her bestie, and falling for Gabriel.
Just when she's starting to wonder if the dust has settled in Lemon Bliss, someone breaks into the town's museum. Because everything in Lemon Bliss seems to be tangled up in magic, Violet isn't the least bit surprised to discover every item stolen from the museum is connected to the ancient witch coven. Not even her grandmother's legendary lemon sweet tea can soothe anyone's spirits.
With the witches running around trying to steal back their stolen items and hide their true power while they're at it, Violet finds herself stooping to all kinds of magic. Breaking and entering, a sneaky love spell to beguile the police chief, and more are thrown about with abandon by the witches. Meanwhile, Gabriel is still wooing her, the lemon trees have begun to bloom again, and the supernatural investigators won't stop sneaking into the factory. Loopy lemon tea, witches and wackiness abound in this cozy mystery.
Contains mature themes."
"Welcome to Lemon Bliss, Louisiana, where an abandoned lemon tea factory is the most happening place in town and witches secretly rule the roost.
Violet Broussard gets called back to the hometown she left in the dust when a dead body is found in the abandoned factory bequeathed to her by her grandmother. Violet has plans, big plans, and they most definitely don't involve staying in Lemon Bliss any longer than necessary. The town is mostly famous for its lemon tea infused with enough alcohol to make one experience bliss, hence the town's name.
Yet, once she's there, things get a tad wacky. There's the old factory, which has amateur supernatural investigators sneaking into it, there's the fact that the moment Violet sets foot in town, no one wants her to leave, and then things get plain crazy.
Violet's mother announces she's a witch, and so is Violet and apparently half the freakin' town. Violet's busy trying to absorb this astonishing fact—who knew?!—and gets caught up in sorting out exactly how a dead body ended up in the factory.
Fending off the opinions of her mother and a gaggle of coven witches, Violet finds herself falling for Gabriel, a too-handsome-for-his-own-good sort who happens to be descended from witches as well. As if she doesn't have enough going on already.
Loopy lemon tea, witches, and wackiness abound in this cozy mystery.
Contains mature themes."
