"Angelina Lopez is the new queen of small-town romance—and of our hearts!" —SIERRA SIMONE, USA TODAY bestselling author of A Merry Little Meet Cute
Gillian Armstead-Bancroft—Pride of the East Side and once-perfect bruja, wife, and mother—is going to spend her summer getting good at being bad.
The first time she left Freedom, Kansas, behind, she did it by doing everything right.
This time, she’ll hide from the large Mexican American family welcoming her home and work in secret to break the curse that’s erased her magical life. Only by doing it all wrong can Gillian get herself and her two children away from the ghosts of her hometown by summer’s end.
Nicky Mendoza is an answer to her prayers. He was the practical solution to the problem of her virginity when they were younger, and now, as a gorgeous artist in town for only a weekend, he’s the ideal man to launch her down the path of ruination.
But Gillian isn’t the only one who’s cursed.
Nicky has been plagued by his furtive, enduring love for her as long as he’s been haunted by his cadejo, the phantom black dog that stalks his psyche. He’ll stick around to be whatever Gillian needs him to be this summer—but he won't touch her. Touching her, then watching her leave again, would ruin him for good.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
It's a summer of second-chances in Lopez's sparkling standalone second Milagro Street romance (after After Hours on Milagro Street). After Gillian, a bruja and the eldest Armstead sister, divorces her rich East Coast husband of 10 tumultuous years, she finds herself broke, unemployed, and unable to access her magic, and returns to her family home in Freedom, Kans., for the summer with her two children in tow. Gillian hopes to lie low, but she's almost immediately roped into a part time job with the Freedom Historical Society—where she's forced to share her workspace with the gorgeous Nicky Mendoza, her childhood friend and ex-lover, now a famous artist planning a mural in town. The longer the pair works together, the harder it is to deny their rekindling attraction, and Nicky's support may be just the spark Gillian needs to regain both her magic and the life she wants. Gillian and Nicky's slow-burning relationship is sprinkled with sporadic yet steamy love scenes, and the injection of some supernatural elements into the series adds fun. Gillian reclaiming her brujeria forms the empowering heart of this tale, but there's unfortunately little room to develop Nicky as thoroughly, leaving him feeling comparatively two-dimensional. Still, there's plenty here to draw in small-town romance fans.
