Harriet Montgomery’s life in London seems perfect from the outside, but beneath the surface, something is stirring. Haunted by vivid dreams and strange sensations, and reeling from her fiancé’s betrayal, Harriet walks away from everything she thought she wanted. Drawn to the sleepy village of Brindlewood, where hearth fires glow and old magic lingers in the air, Harriet uncovers a secret her family buried long ago. She is the heir to a powerful witch lineage, her gifts bound by love and fear. Under the gentle guidance of her aunt and grandmother, she learns that magic is not darkness, but love and connection. Then there’s Sam Thorne, the brooding, kind-hearted butcher whose soul feels inexplicably tied to hers. As Harriet’s powers awaken, so do buried secrets and dangerous truths. With the past closing in, Harriet must choose between the life she left behind and the magic, and love, she’s only just found.
