About the Book
Every morning at 6:13, hedge witch Wren Hollis bakes twelve wish-granting scones in her cozy small-town bakery. Then a stranger knocks on her oven and ruins the whole batch.
Ezra Calloway is the new landlord. He’s a Boston engineer who trusts load-bearing walls, numbers, and nothing he can’t take apart. He has inherited Wren’s building, a hundred and fourteen ticking clocks, and a cracked chimney that must be fixed by the winter solstice. And he plans to sell to a developer who would tear out her oven for a coffee bar.
So Wren makes him a bet. Before the longest night of the year, she will show him one thing he can’t explain.
She doesn’t expect a skeptic who keeps granting wishes by accident. A lost beagle in the coal bin. A snowstorm nobody forecast. Twenty-three neighbors in her kitchen when the power goes out. And a landlord who starts showing up at five in the morning to make the coffee.
With a moody sixty-one-year-old sourdough starter, a cat who sits on whoever needs it, and a retired librarian who has saved one wish for twenty years, this is a warm, clean fantasy romance about found family, small-town magic, and wishes that come true sideways.
