When Cece Chagall moves back to her sleepy East Tennessee hometown, she’s hoping for a fresh start—teaching dance at her grandmother’s studio, reconnecting with old friends, and maybe even figuring out what’s next for her life. But when a shocking crime rocks the small mountain town of Eureka Grove, Cece is pulled into a tangled web of secrets, deception, and long-buried histories.

As eerie coincidences and strange sensations begin to follow her, Cece realizes there’s more to the story—and to herself—than she ever imagined. With the help of her sharp-witted Aunt Granny Hazel, her no-nonsense Nana, and the powerful women of Hazel’s fire circle, Cece embarks on a journey to uncover the truth. Along the way, she just might awaken something within herself that’s been waiting for the right moment to rise.

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with a little witchy wisdom, this first book in the Fire Circle Mystery series will keep you guessing—and leave you wanting more.
