A tenacious troupe of tea ladies on the trail of a murderer. A seaside salon that welcomes four women as they learn to embrace love. An aspiring young witch who learns magic at a tea shop that hides all kinds of secrets. And a solo trip to the bright lights of Las Vegas that offers surprising lessons in selfhood and acceptance. These four delightful and heartfelt novels follow bold and brilliant women who are about to find more than what they bargained for.
