All it takes is one morning for Sydney Photographer Lily Bianchi’s life to go off the rails and over a cliff. 

A well-dressed English woman turns up at her door, swearing she’s a witch. If that’s not crazy enough, she explains Lily’s brother, James, has been kidnapped and the Paranormal Investigation Bureau needs Lily’s help finding him. 

And the craziest part? The Englishwoman tells Lily she’s a witch too. Before she can say, “Where’s my coffee?” she’s on a plane bound for Westerham, England. Unfortunately, England’s not as welcoming as she hoped–she’s barely arrived before she gets set up, arrested and almost shot. 

Things can only get better from here, right? Yeah, right…

Elementary school teacher Francie Tate moved back to Marietta to be close to her ailing father.

When Francie learns of Tanner’s need for child care, she impulsively offers to watch his half-sister for the summer in return for some landscaping and renovations around the house. 

It seems like a win-win, but Francie didn’t bargain on falling in love.
