Publisher's Synopsis
Practical Magic meets The Ex Hex in this steamy rom-com set in a small town full of quirky characters, perfect for fans of Erin Sterling, Sarah Hogle and Lana Harper.
Delia Merriweather does not believe in magic. But she does believe in family, and her family happens to identify as witches. Their lack of magic doesn't dampen this heartfelt belief, because according to lore and legend, they're hexed. Convenient? Yes. True? Probably not.
Thanks to a weird birthmark, the eccentric circle of Merriweather women believe that Delia is their blue witch. In other words, she's supposedly the person capable of restoring magic to the Coven Merriweather. However, A) magic isn't real and B) the spell is truly horrific and illegal in all fifty states. Who's going to boil a baby, for crying out loud? So, they're all completely blown away when Delia accidentally breaks the hex (sans baby-boiling obviously). Chaos and mayhem ensue, drawing the attention of the invisible witching world. And that includes the sexy, brooding, and excessively irritable Max Halifax who has recently moved in next door to settle his uncle's estate.
Just when Max thinks he's done with his endless tour of duty - keeping an eye on the bumbling Merriweather women - he discovers Delia Merriweather has somehow broken the hex placed by his great-great grandfather. He worries that beneath the Merriweathers' seemingly harmless antics, lies the very real possibility that this gaggle of clueless witches will somehow stumble into their power and, like their ancestors, threaten to rule the witching world by controlling the hearts of men. Maybe it's even starting already. Because Max's heart beats erratically whenever Delia Merriweather is around.
