Witches are just a fairy tale. Right? No one has civic pride quite like Emerson Wilde. As a local indie bookstore owner and the youngest ever chamber of commerce president, she'd do anything for her hometown of St. Cyprian, Missouri. After all, Midwest is best! She may be descended from a witch who was hanged in 1692 during the Salem witch trials, but there's no sorcery in doing your best for the town you love. Or is there? As she preps Main Street for an annual festival, Emerson notices strange things happening around St. Cyprian. Strange things that culminate in a showdown with her lifelong archrival, Mayor Skip Simon. He seems to have sent impossible paranormal creatures after her. Creatures that Emerson dispatches with ease, though she has no idea how she's done it. Is Skip Simon...a witch? Is Emerson? It turns out witches are real, and Emerson is one of them. She failed a coming-of-age test at age eighteen--the only test she's ever failed!--and now, as an adult, her powers have come roaring back. But she has little time to explore those powers, or her blossoming relationship with her childhood friend, cranky yet gorgeous local farmer Jacob North. An ancient evil has awakened in St. Cyprian, and it's up to Emerson and her friends--maybe even Emerson herself--to save everything she loves. Witchlore

“An absolute delight of a magical tale.” —Louisa Morgan, author of The Age of Witches For fans of Payback’s a Witch and The Ex Hex comes a smart, witchy rom-com in which a banished witch returns home to face her coven, who will determine whether her magic is a threat to witchkind…or if she’s simply powerful enough to save the world. Rebekah Wilde was eighteen when she left St. Cyprian, officially stripped of her magic and banished from her home. Ten years later she’s forced to return to face the Joywood Coven, who preside over not just her hometown but the whole magical world. Rebekah is happy to reunite with her sister, and with her friends, but the implications of her return are darker and more dangerous than they could have imagined. The Joywood are determined to prove Rebekah and her friends are a danger to witchkind, facing an impending death sentence if they can’t prove otherwise. Rebekah must seek help from the only one who knows how to stop the Joywood—the ruthless immortal Nicholas Frost. Years ago, he was her secret tutor in magic, and her secret impossible crush. But the icy immortal is as remote and arrogant as ever, and if he feels anything for Rebekah—or witchkind—it’s impossible to tell. Witchlore Book 1: Small Town, Big Magic Book 2: Big Little Spells

Assuming they all survive the Joywood’s latest bid for absolute power over the witching world…
