Potions and Promises at Willowmere Market
A Cozy Fantasy Romance

About this book:

Ten years ago, Evangeline fled Willowmere—and the man who loved her—for a dazzling career in the capital. She returned in disgrace: her master's seal revoked, her laboratory in ruins, and her only inheritance a crumbling apothecary on Bitter-Well Lane. Now she has one month until the Midsummer Fair to turn dust and dried lavender into a living, or face the humiliation of town relief. The only problem? The Guild Master holding her fate in his calloused hands is the blacksmith she left at the altar, and he's forged himself into a man who doesn't forgive easily.

Matthew Oakford runs Willowmere with an iron fist and a scarred heart. He has no time for the woman who shattered his world with six cowardly lines on a rainy Tuesday—especially not when someone is sabotaging the market's magic, leaving tainted elixirs and stolen resins in their wake. But as the sabotage escalates and the valley's ancient ley lines begin to hum with dangerous purpose, Evangeline's forbidden knowledge and Matthew's unyielding authority become the town's only hope.

*Potions and Promises at Willowmere Market* is a cozy fantasy romance where second chances simmer alongside sulfur and chamomile, where the scent of cinders mingles with dried herbs, and where the hardest transmutation isn't lead into gold—it's pride into trust. For readers who love small-town magic, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a heroine who brews her own redemption one tincture at a time.
