Charmed meets Practical Magic in this magically wicked paranormal romance, perfect for fans of Not the Witch You Wed and The Ex Hex.
There have always been rumours that something magical is afoot at Wicked Good Apples - but only Holly Celeste and her family know the truth: the Celestes are just a little wicked.
Despite the magical secret ingredient in their cider, the family business is floundering. When Connor Grimm, a charming and nationally beloved paranormal investigator, requests to film an episode of his popular TV show on the mysterious Maine Orchard farm, Holly reluctantly accepts. She knows the publicity could be the miracle her family needs - as long as Connor doesn't manage to actually make any paranormal discoveries.
Intent on keeping Connor in the dark and pushing him toward the ghost story believed by the locals, Holly joins him as he interviews eyewitnesses, hunts for old records and unearths potentially devastating stories from the past. Despite her resolution to dislike him, she begins to fall for the only man who's ever made her feel like strange could be normal.
But as their romance blooms, Connor gets closer to uncovering the real secrets behind the orchard... Can Holly fall in love and protect her family? Or will she have to make a choice?
Wicked as a love spell, this enemies-to-lovers witchy romance will enchant readers of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and In Charm's Way.
