Third Time's Our Charm
When city librarian Ivy Donnelly inherits her aunt's dusty caf in small-town Pennsylvania, she expects a quick sale and a return to her real life. What she doesn't expect is a talking raccoon, a grumpy bookstore owner who makes her heart race, and the discovery that magic is very, very real.
Broke and recently laid off, Ivy just wants to clean up the Third Charm Caf and get back to New York. But between the espresso machine that seems to have opinions, the mysterious book that won't open, and Jonah Garner-the infuriatingly attractive man who runs the bookstore across the street-nothing in Havenridge is going according to plan.
When corporate developers threaten the town's magical heritage and Ivy's estranged cousin returns with dangerous allies, Ivy must embrace the witchy legacy she never knew existed. With the help of a sarcastic familiar, a found family of fellow practitioners, and one stubborn bookstore owner who's willing to believe in impossible things, she'll discover that the strongest magic isn't about power-it's about connection.
But saving her community will require mastering abilities she barely understands, facing family secrets that have shaped her entire life, and deciding whether a small town built on magic is worth fighting for... especially when the alternative might cost her everything she's grown to love.
Perfect for fans of A Witch's Guide to Magical Inkeeping by Sangu Mandanna, Love's a Witch by Tricia O'Malley, and A Sip of Magic by Kate Swansea.
A cozy romantasy about found family, second chances, and discovering that home isn't a place-it's the people who choose to love you, magical disasters and all.
Tropes: Small town romance - Coffee shop setting - Grumpy/sunshine - Found family - Magical inheritance - Fish out of water - Enemies to lovers - Talking animal companion
