Legacies and hearts collide when a woman embarks on a film project about an extraordinary family's rich history in this bewitching romance by USA Today bestselling author Ashley Herring Blake - perfect for fans of Alexandria Bellefleur, Casey McQuiston and Rosie Danan Sasha Sinclair is used to being alone. Her parents, successful documentary filmmakers, died in a car accident three years ago, leaving her with a legacy she's been unable to live up to. Instead, she spends her time with casual hook-ups and odd jobs as she travels around the country.

But she can't stop thinking about her parents' dream project: the story of Alice Bishop in Blair Mountain, North Carolina. Margot Bishop is not a witch, despite the town's century-long suspicion about her family. When her ancestor Alice Bishop showed up in 1901 and opened Thornrose Apothecary, the town called her the Rose Witch.

Now, the Bishops also run Ghostlight, an occult-themed amusement park that fully leans into the rumours. Unfortunately, the businesses aren't doing well. But when Margot's mother comes up with a solution - a documentary film about their family - Margot can't get on board, not when her family's legacy is at stake.

Even worse, she's forced to work with Sasha, the charming, peppy, wannabe-filmmaker. But as they spend more time together, diving deeper into the true story of Alice Bishop, the ice slowly melts and their relationship turns into a heart-fluttering rollercoaster ride, one they aren't sure they want to get off...
