Muffins Mayhem & Magic - Kimberly Renee

A legacy of secrets, a dash of mismatched magic, and a Christmas visitor who changes everything.

In the heart of winter-gray Mystic Cove, Sarah Bishop is finally finding her rhythm at the family bakery. But when a cream-colored envelope arrives from the Boston Globe, it carries more than just the promise of a holiday travelogue. The writer is Marian Ward, a features writer who hasn't been seen in thirty-one years-not since she was a trusted friend of Sarah's grandmother, Emma.

While Aunt Dottie and Aunt Evie grapple with long-buried memories and the realization that their mother's private "Intent" was shared further than they ever knew, a shadow falls over the coastal Maine town. A single, crucial page has been cut from the family's ancient Grimoire, and its stolen secrets have resurfaced in the hands of a patient enemy.

From a comical, magical mishap involving mismatched socks to a devastating discovery in a Cambridge kitchen, the stakes have never been higher for the Bishop line. As Sheriff Cody Thompson moves from civilian suitor to lead investigator, Sarah must step into her own power to protect her family's craft and finally unmask the scholar behind a decades-long betrayal.
