An omnibus of novels by Abigail Drake
Welcome to the South Side, where something magical is about to happen!
Included in this special boxed set edition are:
Book One: The Enchanted Garden Cafe
She knew trouble when she saw it, and he was definitely trouble.
After spending years dealing with her flighty mother, a café on the edge of ruin, a misbehaving backyard fountain, and tea that may or may not be increasing the libido of her elderly neighbors, Fiona Campbell has had enough. She’s ready to move out, get away from her mother and all the craziness that accompanies her, and start a life of her own. The last thing she needs is another complication, especially one like Matthew Monroe.
When he walks through their door with a guitar on his back and a sexy gleam in his eyes, Fiona knows she should stay away. She doesn’t trust him, or his motives, but there is something about Matthew that draws her close, against her better judgment. And when disaster strikes, it seems he’s the only one she can turn to for help.
Book Two: The Hocus Pocus Magic Shop
A brilliant chemist. A dusty old magic shop. A secret book of spells. What could possibly go wrong?
When PhD candidate Grace O’Leary finds a book of spells hidden in her Aunt Lucy’s run-down shop, the scientist in her itches to try them out. She mixes up a batch of love potions as a joke��and is left facing the consequences when they actually seem to work.
Her dream of becoming a professor is in peril, the shop is on the verge of closing, her aunt has become forgetful and confused, and a handsome reporter named Dario Fontana keeps sniffing around for a story. The last thing she needs is for him to find out about the love potions and expose her as fraud, but the sizzling chemistry between them is soon too powerful to deny.
With her personal and professional life in chaos, and her budding relationship with Dario in jeopardy, Grace is faced with a difficult choice. Fixing what is broken means going against every logical bone in her body. Can Grace silence her scientific brain long enough to accept the truth about magic…and also about herself?
Book Three: The Dragonsong Law Offices
One sister is a powerful witch. One is a singer with a magical gift. Both are dealing with ghosts from their past.
Eliza Dragonsong is a lawyer by day and a Wiccan high priestess by night. Her unique skillset comes in handy in the courtroom, and also when she’s asked to guard an ancient, cursed stone from the dangerously charming Ivan Rochat. Although he’s a former art thief with a questionable past, Eliza still finds herself drawn to him, and soon realizes she has to guard more than just the stone. She has to guard her heart as well.
Amanda Dragonsong is nothing like her older half-sister. Shy and self-conscious, she’s a woman with a beautiful voice, but that gift also comes with a curse. Her lullabies make people fall asleep, and her sad songs make them cry, but it’s her love songs that cause the most trouble. Returning home in the middle of a crisis seems like her best option, but it also means facing her childhood crush, the handsome firefighter Tommy Belfiore—the only man she ever truly loved.
Two sisters. Two extraordinary gifts. One chance to make all their dreams come true.
