"You broke my heart, Rhys Penhallow."

And we curse you.

"You and all your nonsense."

Vivien Jones dealt with the worst breakup of her life like any other witch: with vodka, bubble baths, and a curse on her ex.

But that was nine years ago. Now Rhys Penhallow, heartthrob and yet annoyingly handsome, is back. He's returned to picturesque Graves Glen to recharge the town's energy lines and perform at the fall festival. But as his every move spells disaster, Vivi realizes that the spell he cast on her ex may not have been so harmless after all...

As the spell begins to affect the magic of the town and deadly clockwork toys, an enraged ghost, and a strangely talking cat appear, Vivi and Reese are forced to put aside their emotions, join forces, and save not only the town, but Reese's own life.
