Spell On Earth (an Elemental Witches Of Eternal Springs Cozy Mystery) (volume 2)

Finding a body facedown in a chocolate fountain isn't exactly the way earth witch Zola Meadows wanted to start her day. Even worse, her sweet old lady neighbor, Lilly Martinelli, is arrested for the crime. The evidence against Lilly is flimsy at best, and Zola vows to clear her name. Not only to make sure justice is served, but also to get rid of the trouble making cat that Lilly has entrusted to her care while she's in jail. Luck is on her side. Lilly's hotter-than-heck pie-making nephew wants to help. Then again, maybe that's not such a good idea. Not just because Zola has a romantic past with him, but also because he soon bubbles up to the top of her suspect list. Zola finds herself wading through a maze of clues and suspects: cheating husbands, purse-grabbing friends, shopping-obsessed daughters, not to mention a little creature running around town tormenting tourists with bad breath and sticky brown goo. With pressure from the coven elders and a sheriff itching to close the case, Zola must put her magical skills to the test in order to discover the true identity of the killer before Lilly's time runs out. Turning over a new leaf isn't easy. Especially when your first task is to plan the wedding of your biggest enemy. Veronica St. James is determined to set aside her conniving ways and make the wedding a success. Her new boss, Gertie O'Rourke, has put her faith in her, and Veronica won't let her down. Too bad the wedding planning gets complicated when it turns out she'll have to work closely with TJ Flannery, the skinny dishwasher she used to boss around in her last job. Except TJ isn't a skinny dishwasher anymore. He's filled out into a handsome executive, and now he's the one calling the shots. TJ Flannery has been given a unique opportunity to turn himself around. He's cleaned up his act and is determined that Gertie won't regret the risk she took in hiring him. Keeping the wedding budget on track should be easy for an experienced finance guy like him. What might not be so easy is working with the same feisty blonde that used to bust his chops in his last job. But when it turns out that someone is trying to sabotage the wedding, Veronica and TJ must work together to soothe the ranting bridezilla and unmask the culprit in order to save Gertie's business as well as their jobs Finding a body face down in a chocolate fountain isn't exactly the way earth witch Zola Meadows wanted to start her day.
