A Wish Too Late

One wish, one woman in hiding, and one witch racing the clock.

I'm Patience O'Reilly—white witch, amateur sleuth, and ex-private investigator. My specialty? Granting heartfelt wishes with a touch of magic and a nose for secrets.

When a terrified woman shows up at Willow Gardens Retirement Community, she's desperate for a safe place to hide. Retired social worker Lori Maber is doing her best to help, but the past has a nasty habit of catching up—and someone out there wants this woman silenced.

As I dig deeper, guided by my intuition and the magical whispers only I can hear, I begin to unravel a tangled web of lies, fear, and danger. My police officer boyfriend, Kyle, suspects I'm more than just a sharp ex-PI with good instincts—and he's not wrong. But keeping my secret is harder than ever.

With my loyal terrier familiar, Lucky, by my side, I'll risk everything to protect the innocent and make sure this wish comes true… before time runs out.

If you love magical mysteries with heart, humor, and a dash of danger, A Wish in Time is the perfect spellbinding escape.

Fans of Heather Blake, Nancy Warren, and Leighann Dobbs will feel right at home in this enchanting series.
