Book Synopsis

It's never too late to spark a little magic.

At sixty, Olivia Furie thought she had life figured out-until it all went up in flames.

Literally. Her husband's sudden death leaves her broke, homeless, and strangely combustible. When fires start erupting wherever she goes, Olivia begins to suspect her perfectly curated life might have hidden more than just financial secrets.

When a mysterious letter from her long-dead grandmother arrives, Olivia-and her grumpy cat, Magnus-are forced to flee the ashes of their old life and seek refuge in the hidden village of Rowanswood. There, among eccentric magical beings, ancient secrets, and a dangerously attractive man who refuses to stay out of her way, Olivia discovers she's not just unlucky... she's powerful.

But power comes with rules-and consequences. As Olivia struggles to accept her long-dormant magic, a dark force stirs beneath Rowanswood's charm. If she can't master the fire within, she may lose more than her new beginning-she could doom the entire realm.

If you like cozy magical tales, fierce midlife heroines, and a slow-burn romance with a side of sass, you'll love The Chic Crone.
