Synopsis (Goodreads):
Practical Magic meets Gilmore Girls in this adorable witchy rom-com with:

• A bisexual virgin baker with a curse
• A witch looking to avoid romantic entanglements
• And a chemistry between them that causes literal sparks


Danica Waterhouse is a fully modern witch—daughter, granddaughter, cousin, and co-owner of the Fix-It Witches, a magical tech repair shop. After a messy breakup that included way too much family “feedback,” Danica made a pact with her cousin: they’ll keep their hearts protected and have fun, without involving any of the overly opinionated Waterhouse matriarchs. Danica is more than a little exhausted navigating a long-standing family feud where Gram thinks the only good mundane is a dead one and Danica’s mother weaves floral crowns for anyone who crosses her path.

Three blocks down from the Fix-It Witches, Titus Winnaker, owner of Sugar Daddy’s bakery, has family trouble of his own. After a tragic loss, all he’s got left is his sister, the bakery, and a lifetime of terrible luck in love. Sure, business is sweet, but he can’t seem to shake the romantic curse that’s left him past thirty and still a virgin. He’s decided he’s doomed to be forever alone.

Until he meets Danica Waterhouse. The sparks are instant, their attraction irresistible. For him, she’s the one. To her, he’s a firebomb thrown in the middle of a family war. Can a modern witch find love with an old-fashioned mundane who refuses to settle for anything less than forever?
Thoughts on Witch Please: Magic and curses and pacts and family (both of the blood and found variety) make the world go around. At least in Danica's little town. Throw in some baked goods from a gentle giant of a man and the potential for danger with a new arrival and things get complicated fast.

Except...they don't get complicated, really. Or at least the complications are all on the surface. Because Danica's both attracted and drawn to Titus and he feels the same. They're both wary, though. With their pasts (Danica's recent past and Titus's...err, well, ALL of his romantic past), they're both waiting for the other shoe to drop and things to turn sour. The complications come from their wariness and Danica's meddling grandmother's meddlesome shenanigans. Dang all that meddling!

The good news is that all the wariness and meddling in the world can't stop a determined witch. Or, well, a hunky, shy baker. They might take a while to work around their issues, but they get there. Eventually.

Found family, the unboxing of toxic relationships, sweet, steamy kisses, and a...well, a witch hunter. No worries, though, Danica's cousin is on that one. Literally, as it turns out. HA. Yeah, her story is going to be interesting. But now that certain truths have been uncovered, ANYTHING is possible, right?
