Losing everything is hard. Embracing a surprise magical legacy is harder.

After her husband leaves her with no warning, the last thing Cassie expects is to inherit a fully stocked bakery along with a beautifully furnished apartment from a mysterious great aunt.

It's the life she's always wanted and the answer to her most pressing problem (how to care for her almost-tween daughter despite having zero prospects or marketable skills), but it comes with a bewildering, hard-to-swallow revelation.

Magic is real, it's on the menu, and Cassie can't become the town's next baker unless she pulls it together and accepts that she's a witch. If she can't dig deep and embrace her newfound powers, she risks losing her dream bakery and a fantastic life for her daughter.

Butter Sugar Magic, the Baking Up a Magical Midlife series starter is a delicious addition to the popular Paranormal Women's Fiction genre, perfect for fans of magical realism and heartwarming stories of self-discovery, true friendship, and found families.

Taste the paranormal world with Cassie as she discovers where she truly belongs and everything she's capable of accomplishing. Welcome to Portney. The coffee is hot, the pastries are magical, and your new friends can't wait to hang out with you.
