Teas and Temptations

When Hazel Hardy returns to her family's New England hometown and decides the quaint village with stone bridges and tree-lined streets is the perfect place for her new teashop, she doesn’t worry that long-ago residents killed her great, great, something grandmother for being a witch. Or that the town’s attitudes toward witchery haven’t changed much. She swears she won’t stir up trouble…in a cauldron or otherwise. But then she becomes involved in a murder, and witchcraft could really come in handy.

Forbidden magic. Stolen jewels. And cherry macaroons! When a sneaky thief steals historic pearls from one of Hazel’s best customers, her urge to sleuth can’t be tamed. She swears it’s because she loves solving mysteries and has nothing to do with a certain police chief. Though she’s not complaining about the eye candy...After the death of his wife, Chief Peter Parrish hasn’t bothered with women. But Hazel’s put him under her spell with her beautiful smile and witty charm. If letting her poke around his investigation gives him another chance to see her, he’s all for it.

Look out! Karma is behind the wheel of the bus, headed straight through town. When a senator’s niece is found dead in Stonebridge, the whole town gets tipped on its head. Many think she got what she deserved, but Peter must still bring the killer to justice. Hazel wants to help, but with the feds involved, Peter has to push her away. It’s not Hazel’s fault that people confide in her, but keeping their secrets will strain her relationship with Peter...and the law. She’ll have to put on her striped stockings and learn some scary new spells in order to get out of this one.
