A Steep Of Secrets

Some secrets don't stay buried. They steep.

Willow Fairweather knows three things for certain: chamomile calms the nerves, lavender mends a broken heart, and nothing good ever comes from brewing tea on the night of a blood moon.

She should have listened to her own rules.

When Woburn's insufferable but beloved parish councillor collapses into an unbreakable magical slumber moments after sipping her signature Moonlit Chamomile, Willow's cosy tea shop on the edge of the old deer park becomes the centre of a scandal that threatens everything she's built. The villagers who once queued for her enchanted brews now cross the street to avoid her. Her tea licence is under review. And the only clue is a strange, silvery frost creeping across her teacups that no spell she knows can explain.

With her acid-tongued tabby familiar providing unhelpful commentary and a network of gossiping woodland sprites as her only allies, Willow must dig through her grandmother's grimoires, the estate's shadowed history, and three centuries of buried grudges to find the truth, before the frost, and the blame, closes in on her for good.

Perfect for readers who love tea shop mysteries, small-town witch fiction, and cosy paranormal series with heart, A Steep of Secrets is the first instalment in The Woburn Mysteries, a series steeped in English village charm, family secrets, and just enough magic to make the mundane feel enchanted.
