The Spellshop on Chestnut Street
A Cozy Fantasy Romance

About this book:

When burned-out magical auditor Evelyn Starling inherits her aunt's chaotic spellbook shop in the cozy valley town of Willowbrook, she expects a quiet liquidation—not a business partner. But Aunt Clara's will has a catch: Evelyn must turn a profit in ninety days, and she has to do it alongside Gideon Black, the brooding ward-breaker who vanished from her life four years ago without explanation. Now, trapped above a shop where grimoires bite, inkwell spiders roam the counter, and a misfired spell can summon a micro-cyclone in the fantasy section, Evelyn's dormant magic is sputtering, the debt collectors are circling, and Gideon's familiar cedar-and-smoke scent is making it very hard to hold a grudge.

Between wrangling sentient inventory, navigating Willowbrook's delightfully meddlesome townsfolk, and pretending their shared bedroom wall isn't paper-thin, Evelyn and Gideon fall into a rhythm that feels dangerously like home. But the shop's secrets run deeper than overdue ledgers—a lost grimoire, a curse buried in the cellar, and a history of magic that refuses to stay closed. As the Festival of Luminaries approaches and the deadline looms, they'll have to decide if they're just temporary custodians of a dying legacy... or if the real inheritance was the second chance they've been too stubborn to take.

Perfect for fans of *Legends & Lattes* and *The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches*, *The Spellshop on Chestnut Street* serves up a warm, witty enemies-to-lovers romance steeped in cozy magic, found family, and the irresistible pull of a little shop where every book has a personality—and the best spells are the ones that bring you back to yourself.
