The Witch, the Baker, and the Curse Maker

The prophecy is closing… and the eldest Bay witch sister is running out of time. Lavender Bay gave up on love fourteen years ago when she became the sole guardian of her younger sisters. She sacrificed everything—her heart, her dreams, her future—to keep her family safe. Now, with her sisters grown and settled, Lavender finally has space to breathe, focusing on her beloved bakery, her quiet routines, and the fragile magic that holds her life together. But the past never stays buried. Especially when the man she never stopped loving returns. Gavin Murphy has spent over a decade searching for the college girlfriend who vanished after their last fight. He never stopped loving Lavender Bay—and when a chance encounter sends him to Star Island, hope reignites. But loving Lavender means stepping into a hidden world of magic, danger, and destiny, and Gavin soon discovers that the woman he lost is fighting a battle far bigger than either of them imagined. With a rogue warlock spreading chaos across Star Island, a powerful curse on the Bay bloodline tightening its grip, and old betrayals resurfacing, Lavender and Gavin must decide whether to risk their hearts one final time—or lose each other forever. The Witch, the Baker, and the Curse Maker is a cozy romantic fantasy filled with witchy sisters, small-town magic, old cottages, autumn nights, second-chance romance, and a love story bound by fate, sacrifice, and enduring hope.
