Welcome to Clearwater, Colorado - where the gossip burns hotter than the summer sun, and secrets never stay buried for long. Lilliann King thought moving back home meant a slower pace: teaching, tutoring, and the occasional harmless hex. But when her best friend Jo vanishes without warning and a strange artifact resurfaces tied to Clearwater's hidden history, Lillie realizes small-town life isn't as simple as it looks. With her magic behaving unpredictably and her complicated feelings for her ex stirring up more trouble than she wants to admit, Lillie's already on edge. But when whispers of old crimes resurface and the past starts colliding with the present, it's clear something bigger is brewing beneath Clearwater's picture-perfect surface. Now Lillie has to juggle family drama, small-town suspicion, and a mystery that seems determined to pull her deeper - all while keeping her job, her sanity, and her best friend safe. If you love found-family friendships, slow-burn magic, and cozy mysteries with heart and humor, Clearwater's waiting for you. Bring snacks. And maybe a protection charm. ​​​​​​​Small towns. Big secrets. Zero chance of staying out of trouble.
