Miranda Blake, the reigning belle of the London Season, is known for her grace and beauty. Yet, the wealthy Earl's daughter has never prioritized finding a husband. When she overhears a jealous matron call her "on the shelf," she worries she's waited too long. Enter brash American Derek Lang, in England to buy inventory for his family's business and clear his grandfather’s name. Unexpectedly, he gets drawn into a charade to help Miranda make a suitor jealous. Will their plan succeed, or will it lead to something unexpectedly real?

When Lily Hawthorne returns home to take over her grandmother's pet shop, she discovers her inheritance comes with conditions: three successful familiar matches in three months. But before she can complete her first match, the town's lighthouse keeper is found dead, killed by unnatural frost. Only Lily can see the victim's frozen magical aura, a gift that also shows her the dark magic now seeping into her community.

As suspects emerge—a grieving father desperate to contact lake spirits, a vineyard owner dabbling in forbidden soil magic, and a mysterious historian with ties to rival magical territories—Lily investigates with unexpected allies. The local veterinarian is developing healing powers of his own, her grandmother's cat seems to know more than she's telling, and two new friends—a librarian with charm magic and a reporter who knows all the town gossip—are eager to help.

But with anchor points failing, winter storms threatening, and her own painful history with magic, Lily must uncover the truth before the dark magic claims another victim.

A cozy paranormal mystery featuring:

A reluctant witch with unique magical sight

A small town hiding big secrets

A magical pet shop with a mysterious past
