Grease the Wheel
Stormy Morgan is a witch with too much attitude, an old love fueling new fires in her soul, and a talking cat who keeps threatening to give her an ulcer. She’s got a full plate. Things get even busier in her life when a body drops outside her boyfriend Hunter Ryan’s house … and the death looks like more than a standard murder.
Even though her magic is growing at an exponential rate, Stormy is still a novice when it comes to wielding her new power. She’s determined to find answers, prove herself invaluable to Hunter in the process, but each lead brings more questions … and all of them are of the mind-blowing variety.
The victim, a man who wove a tapestry of lies across multiple towns, doesn’t stir Stormy’s sympathy. The puzzle of his life is too much for her to ignore though. On top of that, her new roommate has turned into a big problem, and she has no idea how to fix it.
Stormy moved home to make her life better, and she’s succeeding at every turn. That doesn’t mean she’s safe.
At her core, she’s a fighter … and she’s going to need all her strength for what’s to come. The victim’s vices were of the human variety, but what killed him was something so much more dangerous. It’s up to Stormy to save the day. Again.
If she can, that is.

Cozy Pairings
Brown Sugar Cinnamon is a warm, bakery-inspired fragrance that wraps you in the comforting sweetness of brown sugar and melted butter, gently spiced with cinnamon. Rich and inviting, this scent evokes the feeling of something freshly baked lingering in the air, soft and golden with just a touch of indulgence. Smooth and well balanced, it brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to any space, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and comforting.
Why we chose this: Stormy Morgan came home to Shadow Hills a failed novelist and discovered she is a witch, her high school boyfriend is the detective on every murder case she keeps accidentally stumbling into, and her family diner is somehow always at the center of everything. From Ouija boards and talking cats to gnome shifters and magical children, the trouble in Shadow Hills runs as deep as its secrets, but the diner is always there, warm and golden and smelling like something delicious. Brown Sugar Cinnamon carries exactly that quality, the scent of a kitchen where the ordinary and the extraordinary have made a comfortable home together, sweet and familiar and alive with the feeling that the most important things in life happen around a table. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the warmth fill the room like a Michigan diner on a winter morning when the coffee is hot, the magic is surfacing, and Stormy is already three steps ahead of everyone except the one person she loves most.
