Where are the manuals on how to be a 26-year-old witch?

Hazel is moving up in the world. New house. New street. And she might even get the job of her dreams.

Her partner is due to arrive in a few days, and all will be perfect. But an awkward encounter brings the man next door to her house, and she is strangely intrigued. 

It's a busy time at work, and she can't afford for anything to go wrong. Unexpected confusion makes her begin to think something magical is afoot. Hazel is very lucky to escape with her life.

Now the other people in the street are suspicious. Which one of her neighbours wished her harm? And what is it about Hazel that seems to attract danger?

This is a prequel novelette in the Redferne Witches series:
