'What a gorgeous, fun and sexy romance! I loved every word. Emma's stories just keep getting better. More please!' CARRIE ELKS

'I love this series! The world-building is so charming and the love story sparkles with chemistry.' LEONIE MACK

'A cosy, magical treat of a book that charmed my socks off!' M.A. KUZNIAR

Two witches.

One life-changing spell.

Careful what you witch for...

Becca Ashworth's family is in trouble, and with their magical legacy under threat, it puts their small village of Biddicote at risk too. So, going against the witching tenets to summon an ancestor for help seems like a small price to pay to fix the problem... at first.

Connor Lynch is the Witches Council's secret weapon, and he's just been deployed to find out exactly what the Ashworths are up to. But how he ends up posing as Becca's fake husband at a magical inn in Cornwall as they hunt down a magical artefact is just as perplexing as the cheerful witch herself.

When their attraction for each other grows, Becca and Connor question everything they have been taught - and soon the missing artefact isn't the only thing they are searching for. As love collides with duty, it's clear that sometimes you need to be careful what you witch for...
