Synopsis

They say you can't escape your destiny ... oh, if only that were true.

Thanks to the Marys—Whispering Falls' mystical council—and their magic-wielding rules, I'm finally starting over. With no spiritual gifts of my own, I've packed up my baking supplies, my sass and set off for Celestial Falls. A town free of magical restrictions (at least, that's what they claim) and brimming with new beginnings. And if I've got to take a fairy god-cat with me? Fine. I can deal with that.

Celestial Falls has its charm: an old Victorian cottage, the perfect space for Heavenly Desserts, and a community that seems normal. Except “normal” is apparently overrated. Within days, my grand opening is crashed by a murder—and the cookie crumbs lead straight to me. So much for blending in.

Now I've got to rely on the wizard who followed me here (thanks a lot, Orin) and hope my baking skills can save my dreams—and my life. Because if I can't figure out who really served up murder, the Marys might drag me back to Whispering Falls.

Spellbound, Scones and Secrets is the first book in a brand-new paranormal cozy mystery series. Join Lo Heal-Park in her quest to bake her way to a fresh start—if she can survive the murder, mayhem, and magic first.
