The truth hurts. But in Wickham Falls, it can get you killed.
Clara Calloway finally feels like she's getting the hang of things. Her coffee shop, The Daily Grind, is thriving, and her relationship with Thatcher Grey—the devastatingly handsome High Council Inquisitor—is simmering toward something serious.
But the heat gets turned up too high when Thatcher's former partner (and, unfortunately, his stunning ex-fiancée) Agent Vivien Sterling arrives in town. She's here to audit Thatcher's "unusually low" arrest record, and she has her sights set on Clara.
Clara's insecurity flares up, and her magic responds in the worst way possible: her "Jealousy Java" accidentally turns into a potent Truth Serum. Suddenly, the polite residents of Wickham Falls are blurting out their darkest secrets, hidden crushes, and petty grievances over their morning lattes.
Chaos reigns, but it turns deadly when the town's beloved Matchmaker is found poisoned by a box of hexed chocolates. The killer could be anyone—because thanks to Clara's coffee, everyone's motives have just been revealed.
With Vivien watching her every move and the town on the brink of a "truth-induced" riot, Clara must solve the murder before her own secrets—and her heart—are spilled.
