The Cottage Around the Corner

By D. L. Soria

Book Overview

A feisty witch and a handsome mage must put their heated business rivalry aside to save their small town from supernatural forces in this charming contemporary fantasy romcom from the author of Thief Liar Lady.

"Delightful and sweet . . . the magic and the romance both sizzle on the page."--Raquel Vasquez Gilliland, author of Witch of Wild Things

"Soria's newest book will wrap readers into a cozy world that they won't want to leave."--Library Journal (starred review)

Chanterelle Cottage is Charlie Sparrow's whole world. The cozy spellshop where she and her moms practice their witchcraft, selling goods and services to the people of small-town Owl's Hollow, has been in her family for generations.

Okay, business has been a little slow and a recent burglary hit their inventory pretty hard. And the bank may not agree to restructure their loan. But Charlie is talented and savvy, and she'll keep things afloat once her parents finally let her buy into the business as a co-owner. Still, when a competing magecraft firm opens in town, things start to look bleak. After all, everyone knows there's room for only one magic shop in Owl's Hollow.

So what if Fitz, the mage who owns the new Maven Enterprises, happens to be ridiculously handsome in his ridiculously expensive suits? Who cares that, when Charlie can forget for a moment or two that Fitz is her competitor, things between them are as easy as breathing? None of that matters--because Charlie is not going to get involved with the competition. In this battle of the businesses, she'll do whatever it takes to make sure Chanterelle Cottage is the last spellshop standing.

But when strange supernatural events begin to plague the citizens of Owl's Hollow, Charlie and Fitz must put their rivalry aside and their magic together to save the town. As they grow closer, it becomes harder for Charlie to keep her carefully drawn line in place--maybe Owl's Hollow is big enough for a witch and a mage, after all.
