A Pinch of Magic

A cookbook ghostwriter accidentally summons a spirit and must help with her unfinished business in this charming and cozy paranormal novel-full of small-town charm and a delightful cast of characters!

Cam Parker likes being invisible. As a cookbook ghostwriter, she lives a quiet, orderly life well behind the scenes. But when a storm smashes into her beloved grandmother's house, she'll do anything to pay for the repairs, even taking on a nightmare celebrity client and returning from Brooklyn to her coastal-Virginia hometown of Silver Cove and all its small-town drama.

Before she can say boo, Cam's predictable world collapses like an underbaked souffle. For starters, she's developing inconvenient feelings for carpenter Ian McCabe, who's equal parts charm and complication. And then there's the actual ghost Cam accidentally summons from an old cookbook, who apparently needs her help to right a century-old wrong. Cam can barely keep all these plates in the air. But the chaos just might push her to question her cautious approach to life-and finally write her own recipe for happiness.
