The Little Shop of Gentle Magics: A witchy cozy fantasy set in a magical Scottish teashop (The Enchanted Thistle Book 1)

"Amazing. I laughed, I cried, I already recommended it to my best friend... a Hallmark movie in book form in the best possible way." Reader review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Meg MacIntosh comes from a long line of kitchen witches—women who can work miracles with a pinch of flour and a ray of moonlight. But there's nothing magical about Meg, or the beautiful hand-decorated sugar cookies she pours her heart into.

When her marriage falls apart, instead of going home to the family she never fit into, Meg impulsively buys a run-down tea shop in the tiny Scottish town of Banhaven.

Then Art walks through the door. One perfect date back home was all it took for Meg to feel truly seen—and to panic and end things. Now, thanks to a job transfer, a very meddling assistant and a housing disaster, he's suddenly here. With his two kids.

Before Meg can talk herself out of it, the rooms above her shop are full: a moody teenager, a boisterous five-year-old, a stray cat, and a man who already feels like home. It's all happening so fast. But as visions start to swirl in her teacup, Meg begins to wonder if some things are simply meant to be…

Falling apart isn't the end… it’s the beginning. With the right people by your side, what comes next is magical. Perfect for fans of The Ex Hex and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.
