**She bought a manor for a new beginning, not a murder investigation... or a magical destiny.**After a draining divorce and career burnout left her feeling invisible, Lenora Blackwell craved a fresh start. Gloomwood Manor, a crumbling gothic estate in eerie Eldergloom, promised a quiet B&B project and a life finally on her own terms. But before the first renovation nail is hammered, her slimy real estate agent is found dead in her garden—and Lenora is the prime suspect. Trapped by a strange magical binding and haunted by inconveniently reawakening psychic senses, Lenora must navigate a town brimming with secrets, a judgmental cat who might be an ancient guardian, and a handsome, skeptical detective watching her every move. To clear her name and reclaim her future, Lenora must not only solve a murder but also decide if she's ready to embrace the unexpected magic offering her the purpose and belonging she's been desperately seeking. Perfect for readers who know it's never too late for a second act—especially one with a side of magic, found family, and a truly killer cup of tea.
