Hot Flashes & Hexes · Book 7
Burn After Manifesting
She's been manifesting for nine years. Nothing ever answered. Then twenty-seven tealights lit themselves—and the fire marshal walked in.
Claire Whitley has been manifesting for nine years. A new business. A divorce that didn't ruin her. A spiritual shop on Main Street with a bearded dragon, twenty-seven tealights, and a clientele that mostly bought candles to be polite. She lit one every morning. None of them ever lit back.
Until they did. All of them. At once.
She did NOT manifest twenty-seven tealights catching fire at 9:15 on a Thursday morning. She did NOT manifest a Tower card that won't stay in the deck. She did NOT manifest the shop's windows cleaning themselves in front of the entire block of Main Street. And she absolutely did not manifest Nate Cordero, the new Fairhaven Fire Marshal who walked into her shop, called her ma'am, cited her for seven violations, and said I'm sorry like he meant it.
The universe is allowed to be woo. She's allowed to have a routine. And she will NOT fall for the man whose entire job is putting out the fires her candles keep starting.
…Probably.

Five-star reviews of the series opener
Whispers from the readers
★★★★★
Hot flashes weren't funny until now.
“This is a wonderfully entertaining closed door romantic comedy with a newly minted witch, an opinionated cat, a talking toaster who only speaks French, a house that develops its own personality, and a hard won happily ever after. I laughed until my sides hurt.”
★★★★★
Cassie is such a realistic heroine!
“We need more fantasy romance about middle aged women! I'm sick of teenage heroines. Love the forced proximity and the development of Cassie and Liam's chemistry. Liam is a gem!”
★★★★★
Read the whole series
“This gem of a series gets better as it goes. Each is short and well worth the time. Romance off the pages, clean, and light-hearted but with a profound message.”
