The Cappuccino Curse. The Brew & Broomstick Mystery, #2

Three months into dating the town's most infuriatingly composed detective, Sage Hawthorne has settled into a life she never quite let herself imagine: a thriving café, a wildly opinionated cat, and a boyfriend who no longer flinches when magic answers back. Then the Midwinter Lights Festival rolls into Wickbrook Falls, and Priya talks her into brewing something new for the festival booth - a curse latte, equal parts joke and mischief, guaranteed to turn one insufferable rival's day upside down.
It works exactly as intended. That's the problem. Because underneath the string lights and gingerbread stalls, the ground beneath the town's overlook has started to give way, and the wards that have kept Wickbrook Falls safe for generations are failing faster than anyone wants to admit. As sinkholes swallow more than just real estate and a patient stranger in a coat too thin for winter starts asking questions no one wants answered, Sage discovers her cheerful little curse latte has stirred up something far older and far less forgiving than bad luck.
With Cal's badge on the line, Biscuit's patience wearing thin, and the whole town's safety balanced on secrets Zinnia's recipe book never fully explained, Sage will have to master magic she's only begun to understand before Wickbrook Falls loses more than its lights. Cozy, wickedly funny, and steeped in small-town secrets, The Cappuccino Curse is the second book in the Wickbrook Falls series, where love is easy and the wards are not.
