    Casting Spells
    by Barbara Bretton

    Magic. Knitting. Love. A new series and a delightful departure by the USA Today bestselling author of Just Desserts.

    Sugar Maple looks like any Vermont town, but it's inhabited with warlocks, sprites, vampires, witches—and an ancient secret. And Chloe Hobbs, owner of Sticks & String, a popular knitting shop, has a big secret too. She's a sorcerer's daughter in search of Mr. Right—and she's found him in Luke MacKenzie, a cop investigating Sugar Maple's very first murder. Bad news is he's 100% human, which could spell disaster for a normal future with a paranormal woman like her.
