About this ebook

Second chances are as good as any spell, and she’s not passing this one up.

Gales Haven is a small town hidden from the rest of the world. For centuries, it’s been a refuge for those with magic. It’s where witches and wizards can let their eccentricities hang loose.

Years after leaving home, Marla is coming back with her tail tucked between her legs. Her two teenage children are sparking with their emerging powers, and as the only dud in a family of remarkable mages, she can’t help them.

When Marla returns, her family welcomes her with open arms. Her grandmother and three aunts are wild, loud-mouthed, and brazen. They’re also powerhouses not to be messed with. No matter what, family always has your back.

Finally, Marla is where she belongs. And when her first love is possibly interested in picking up where they left off, even when she disappeared without a forwarding address, well, Marla only wishes she came back sooner.

Even when the trouble starts, and the spell that has protected the town all these years goes on the fritz, there’s nowhere Marla would rather be. That is, until she starts hearing a little hedgehog sassing her, anyhow...

Ratings and reviews

What a wonderful book! The writing is great, the story is original. There's magic and humor and romance and a really great cast of characters. Which include talking animals, excuse me, "magic creatures ". Started it in between chores, giving myself a time limit, nothing else was accomplished after that. This book is that good. Promise.

if you like cozy witch reads, you'll enjoy this. well thought out characters, and the town sounds like a fun place to visit.

One of my favorite authors, always interesting and makes me laugh. Life's can be rough and reading has always been a balm to my soul.
