Book - 2022

Essie Winterscale lives in a huge and ever-changing house in the village of Good Winter, in deepest, darkest Essex. She lives with various witches of various ages, including one who is still a bit salty about having been hanged in the 18th century, one who keeps accidentally casting fertility spells and one who knits things that create the future. Into this coven of chaos stumbles gorgeous, clueless Josh, their new landlord - and he's just discovered his tenants haven't paid rent since the 1700s! As Josh is drawn further into the lives of the inhabitants of Beldam House, Essie is determined to keep him at broomstick's length. That is, until a family secret, lying hidden for centuries, puts Josh firmly under her spell...
