The Witch's Apothecary Ledger
A Cozy Fantasy Romance

About this book:

Hazel inherited her grandmother's magical apothecary, a mountain of debt, and a talent for herbalism that feels woefully small beside Freya's legendary legacy. She has three weeks to pay the property tax, a cellar full of mischievous sprites, and absolutely no idea how to run a business—until the town's infuriatingly patient carpenter starts showing up uninvited to fix her floorboards, her shelves, and her leaky roof, refusing every attempt at payment. Silas claims he's only protecting his workshop from magical fallout, but his steady hands and quiet devotion suggest something far more dangerous: a man who sees the cracks in her foundation and refuses to let her fall.

Between simmering cinnamon tea, ledgers written in gold ink, and a hidden journal of favors that reveals Freya built an entire economy on kindness instead of coin, Hazel discovers that real magic isn't lightning bolts or storm-summoning—it's listening. To plants. To people. To the tall, sawdust-scented carpenter who knows exactly how she takes her tea and exactly when she needs a hand to hold. But the tax collector is coming, the guild is raising prices, and the secret vault in the cellar requires a key shaped like a thorn-rose—and the price of opening it might be trusting someone else with her heart.

*The Witch's Apothecary Ledger* is a cozy fantasy romance steeped in dried lavender, creaking floorboards, and the quiet magic of community—where the most powerful potion is a cup of tea brewed by someone who stays.
