Something Brewed

Cold feet. Cold brew. Cold blood. It's the hottest July on record in Wickham Falls. The asphalt is melting, the AC is broken, and Clara Calloway is sweating bullets. Not just because of the temperature, but because she's been hired to cater the "Wedding of the Century" for a high-maintenance influencer and her rich fiancé. To make matters worse, Thatcher Grey has been acting strange—hiding boxes, speaking in hushed tones, and asking questions about ring sizes. Clara's commitment issues kick into high gear, and her magic responds with a sub-zero glitch: The Freeze. Despite the 100-degree weather, The Daily Grind is covered in frost. Clara's touch turns hot lattes into instant popsicles, and she accidentally encases the wedding cake in a block of ice. But the chill becomes permanent when the wedding's tyrannical planner, Monica Vane, is found frozen to death in the venue's walk-in freezer—which was set to "tropical." With the bridezilla threatening to sue, the High Council investigating the "unnatural weather patterns," and Thatcher trying to have a serious conversation that Clara keeps literally freezing out, she has to solve the murder. If she doesn't, she might be putting her romance—and the killer—on ice permanently.
