Welcome to Moss Hollow. There are three things you need to know about my great aunt—she's eccentric, she's rich, and she's dead. No, make that four things. She also named me as the sole beneficiary of her fortune. There are, however, a few stipulations.
I must move into her cottage in Moss Hollow, Vermont—a magical community that values tradition and tourists. I must keep her beloved tea shop open and running for at least three years. I must take care of her tiny owl, a prickly creature by the name of Rowan. He's moody, opinionated, and he used to be a mage.
He doesn't like me, he doesn't like my dog, and he really doesn't like the handsome fae councilman who starts hanging around as soon as I arrive in town. But for a small fortune, Rowan and I are going to learn to coexist long enough for me to figure out how to turn him back into his normal self with my "cute and worthless" pixie magic—preferably before he ruins my dating life or drives me insane.
Owls, Tea Shops, and Other Magical Nuisances is a rom-com style contemporary fantasy. The perfect lighthearted escape, this story is sure to delight readers who enjoy cozy magic and humor.
