SIGNED: Second Chance Magic (Order of Magic #1) Paperback
Signed Print. Paranormal Women's Fiction. Book One in the Order of Magic series. Paranormal Romance, Women's Fiction, Witchlit.
Lorna Addams thought she knew exactly who she was: wife, mother, widow. Then she buried her husband of twenty years and discovered she had never known him at all. He had another wife. Another life. Every memory she thought was hers had been built on a lie.
Running from the gossip and the sympathy, she takes a job managing a crumbling historic theater in the coastal town of Freewild Cove. It is supposed to be a quiet new chapter. A clean slate. But the theater has a history. The old magic buried in its walls does not care that Lorna is done believing in things she cannot see.
Between a mysterious ring that seems to have chosen her, a new boss who talks to empty chairs, and a psychic who refuses to take no for an answer, Lorna’s second act is nothing like she planned. Then there is William Warrick — all skepticism and serious eyes — making her wonder, for the first time in a long time, if she has anything left to give.
The magic is real. So is the danger. And Lorna is only beginning to understand what she is capable of.
She came to Freewild Cove to disappear. The magic had other plans.
