*** The Wattpad #1 and a Most Read Award Winner ***

Hubble, bubble, the witch is in trouble, the ballerina's broken and the vet's in disgrace. Living in the Lakes is going to be murder.

When Patrick's photographed in flagrante with a local beauty queen, his father delivers an ultimatum: one more newspaper scandal and Patrick will be disowned - no house and no job at the family veterinary practice.

Desperate not to lose his easy life in the country, Patrick needs to avoid trouble - and girls like Libby.      Until she moved to the Lakes, Libby hadn't had sex on a first date, let alone indulged in a one-night-stand. But after flings with the local policeman and a married man, her morals unravel causing the local rag to dub her 'The Libertine'.        

Infamous and still mourning her previous career as a ballerina, Libby casts a Wicca spell to summon a new love. Good-looking, honest, non-brown eyes, English, likes animals... in a nutshell: Patrick, a man she's never met.

But fighting Libby's love spell will be the least of Patrick's problems when an old lady dies from a ketamine overdose. The drug was stolen from his surgery and she's the third pensioner to die in as many months.

Tongues will wag.

Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all.
