The Cottage Around the Corner: A Novel By D. L. Soria

Chanterelle Cottage is Charlie Sparrow’s pride and joy. In her family’s spellshop in the small town of Owl’s Hollow, she and her moms practice their witchcraft and provide magical services to the community. However, recent setbacks—a burglary, slow business, and a looming bank crisis—threaten their livelihood. Charlie’s dreams of becoming a co-owner are at risk, especially with the arrival of a rival magecraft business, Maven Enterprises, led by the impossibly handsome Fitz.

Despite their intense rivalry, Charlie can’t deny the spark that flies between her and Fitz. When she allows herself to relax, their connection is undeniable, but Charlie’s focus remains on ensuring that Chanterelle Cottage outlasts the competition. She’s determined to make her shop the last magical business standing in town.

But when Owl’s Hollow is hit by a series of eerie supernatural disturbances, Charlie and Fitz must reluctantly team up to confront the threat. Their combined magical skills become crucial in saving their town, and as they work together, the lines between competition and camaraderie blur. Charlie finds herself reevaluating her stance on Fitz—and the future of their businesses.

In this charming contemporary fantasy romcom, love and magic intertwine in unexpected ways, proving that Owl’s Hollow might just have room for both a feisty witch and a dashing mage after all.
