Small-town Cauldron, Oregon, goes all out for Halloween, but this year’s festivities include more than costume parties and bonfires. When Prudence McClure accidentally drinks her aunt’s rum-spiked “love potion,” she tumbles straight into the arms—and bed—of Nicholas Ware, the man who broke her heart seven years ago.
Between Aunt Heppy’s questionable potions, a bewitching-hour tradition, and a pair of black lace panties that end up on a ceiling fan, Prudence finds herself in a fake engagement with Nick designed to save everyone’s reputation and help Edmund Swain, her maybe-maybe-not boyfriend, win the town’s mayoral race.
But Nick isn’t interested in playing pretend; he wants Pru permanently. He’s willing to use every trick in the book—from apple-peel divinations to candlelit confessions—to win back the woman who still holds his heart.
As fortune-telling bowls, haunted mirrors, and her own traitorous feelings keep revealing what Prudence is desperate to deny, she faces an impossible choice: Will she stay safe in Cauldron, protecting her heart—or finally start chasing it instead?
A sparkling Halloween romcom where small-town gossip, magical mischief, and second-chance romance prove that the best spells are cast from the heart.
