'She thought she was running away from her past, not catching up with it.
'Rosemary Bell just wants to live a quiet, happy life and raise her daughter as far away from her toxic ex-husband as she can get. But when they move into a decrepit cottage in the woods of Mosswood, Georgia, Rosie realises her life will never be simple.
'A gang of meddling do-gooders want to run her out of town. Her daughter is being bullied at school. The vicious laundromat machines keep eating her spare change. Not to mention her buff Irish stalker who insists that he’s a Witch King and that it’s her royal destiny to be his Queen.
'And to top it all off, strange things keep happening around Rosie when she least expects it...
'She could deal with it all, but her ex won’t rest until he tracks her down and holds a dangerous secret over Rosie’s head. When her custody of her daughter is threatened, Rosie shows them all that nobody messes with the new witch on the block.'
