The Enchanted Hacienda

From New York Times bestselling author, J.C. Cervantes, The Enchanted Hacienda is a captivating coming-of-age debut exploring identity, unconditional family love, and uncovering the magic within us all.

After losing her dream job and realising that her boyfriend is a jerk, Harlow Estrada decides to flee New York City and head back to the one place she can always call home - the enchanted Hacienda Estrada.

The Estrada family farm in Mexico houses an abundance of charmed flowers cultivated by the women in Harlow's family. By harnessing the magic in these flowers, they can heal hearts, erase memories, and interpret dreams - powers that only Harlow lacks.

So, when her mother and aunt give her a special task involving the family's magic and it goes wrong, she completely panics. Except maybe it's not magic that Harlow is missing, but self-belief. And perhaps embracing her own unique gifts and opening her heart to a romance with a handsome stranger could be just what she needs to discover the power that has been within her all along.
