Welcome to Hollywood Lakes, the cozy Southern California mountain town where love is enchanting, friends are family, and magic begins at midlife.

From her bakery, she serves up wisdom and enchanted pastries, helping others open their hearts and find their true love. But ever since her husband passed away, opening her own heart feels like too much of a risk. When her powers go awry, Poppy finds herself unable to bake or cast spells. To save her business and a friend’s wedding, she must team up with the one person she’s afraid might slip past her defenses.
