Once Maeve finds out her husband has a mistress and her life has pretty much been a lie except for the beautiful daughter she created from nineteen years of marriage, she takes her friend up on an invite to Stonewick Village. The town is a quirky tourist trap, famous for its enchanted setting and mysterious beginnings.

Maeve feels an unexpected sense of belonging when she steps foot in the tiny Midwest village. For the first time in years, she’s ready to reclaim her life, even if she’s unsure where to start.

But Stonewick Village isn’t just a picturesque getaway. As Maeve settles in, a centuries-old secret unveils itself, and she’s pulled into a whirlwind of magic and mystery. Maeve must rediscover her strength, not just for herself, but for the village slowly revealing its true nature.

After all, it’s been over fifty years since the Stonewick Academy came to life, and it just might be Maeve who awakens the magic.

Maeve knows she’s about to embark on the time of her life, and she can’t wait to prove to everyone that being over forty doesn’t mean the adventures stop.

In fact, it’s merely the beginning. 

 Maeve has a choice to make, but her heart makes it easy...

When shadowy forces threaten Maeve’s newfound friends and the town’s magical balance, she must embrace her inner witch and stubborn bulldog, Frank, at her side.

But it’s not just shadowy forces that Maeve has to contend with—there’s also her family’s deeply buried secrets. Secrets that tie her to the Academy, a majestic magical institution that seems to want her as much as it resists her.

As she unravels the mystery of her father and the curse that divided Stonewick from its allies, Maeve discovers that her arrival in town was no coincidence.

An enemy from the past—charismatic, cunning, and terrifyingly powerful—has been waiting for her to step into the role she never knew she was destined for.

The stakes are high, and the danger is real, but Maeve isn’t tackling it alone. Between brewing magical teas, fending off magical creatures, and navigating the sparks of chemistry with a brooding warlock who’s as frustrating as he is handsome, Maeve starts to see that she’s more than capable of holding her own.

Will Maeve rise to the challenge, or will the shadows consume Stonewick for good? Join Maeve and her unlikely crew to find out in this spellbinding tale of second chances, magical mayhem, and the power of believing in yourself. 

 The once-dormant halls of Stonewick Academy are stirring, and Maeve Bellemore is at the heart of it all. With magic rekindling in the ancient corridors and long-forgotten allies returning, the Academy is on the brink of opening its doors for the first time in decades.

But just as hope begins to shine, so do the shadows lurking beyond the wards, and they’ve decided to play a deadly game of hide and seek.

And Maeve will do everything in her power to win. But she isn’t facing this battle alone. A mischievous newcomer has arrived in Stonewick, and she vows to help Maeve and the rest of the crew fight for what’s right while Twobble causes a little mayhem on the side.

Maeve is learning that leadership isn’t about power—it’s about heart, wit, and, occasionally, bribing magical creatures with snacks.

As the battle for the Academy’s future begins, Maeve must decide: Will she step fully into the magic calling her name, or will the shadows finally claim her or Stonewick during their dangerous game of hide and seek?

If you love cozy fantasy, midlife magic, and an underdog Academy fighting to reclaim its place in the world, grab your tea, settle in, and get ready for a spellbinding adventure! 

The first student has stepped inside the halls of the Academy, and their identity shocks everyone...

When the Academy doors swing open again after decades of silence, midlife witch Maeve Bellemore should feel relief. 

The Wards are strengthening, new students are bustling through the enchanted halls, and her beloved town of Stonewick is thriving under this gentle resurgence of magic.

Yet, Maeve senses this awakening isn’t all fluttering butterflies and glowing spellbooks.

Quiet forces stir in the shadows, assembling secret armies beneath the surface charm of her cozy village.

Old rivalries simmer, and long-held grudges between the fae, shifters, and humans threaten the fragile peace.

And as students pour into the Academy, Maeve quickly realizes they aren’t just learning spells and potions. They’re preparing for something far bigger that the Academy is teaching them. Something that could unravel Stonewick’s hard-won harmony forever.

Maeve has to ask herself, what if saving Stonewick means risking everything she holds dear?
Return to Stonewick for a cozy midlife fantasy adventure brimming with enchantment, romance, found family, and spells gone delightfully wrong. 

Maeve Bellemore must face the truth she's been dreading. The only way to break the ancient curse strangling Stonewick is to enter the dangerous and forbidden realm of Shadowick.

With darkness gathering and time slipping through her fingers, Maeve prepares to risk everything, even her life, to save the magical town that gave her a second chance. But the mysteries of Shadowick are treacherous, full of long-buried secrets, twisted magic, and the echo of a betrayal that could unravel everything she’s built.

As Maeve journeys into the heart of the unknown, the students of the reawakening Stonewick Academy rise up, united in magic, friendship, and fierce loyalty, to defend Stonewick from whatever may come. And in the middle of it all, a powerful bond between Maeve and the one man who always stands beside her flickers with something more than destiny… something she might lose forever if she doesn’t return.

Perfect for readers who love cozy magical adventures with mystery, strong heroines over 40, enchanted towns, magical academies, slow-burn romance, and second chances.

Enter the world of Stonewick once more, where magic is real, love blooms in the most unexpected places, and one woman’s midlife awakening might be the key to saving them all.
