Owner of a Witchy Heart

About Owner of a Witchy Heart

Witch cozy mystery, talking cat, small townCooper has lived in Holiday Hills long enough to know when humans are about to ruin everything. But when the town's most famous enchanted painting vanishes from the gallery wall, even he didn't see this one coming. The Portrait of a Witchy Heart isn't just art.

She's alive — opinionated, loud, and currently missing. The official theory? Theft.

The problem? A painting who gossips at full volume doesn't disappear without a fight. And the gallery's back door showed no signs of one.

With the town in an uproar and the gallery owner barely holding it together, someone has to start asking questions. (Fine. It's the cat.

) What looks like a clean theft unravels fast — shady collectors circling town, counterfeit spells nobody can trace, and one art appraiser who's been suspiciously helpful since the moment she vanished. As suspicion shifts between a collector with deep pockets and no alibi, a spell forger whose work keeps turning up in the wrong places, and an appraiser whose explanations are just a little too smooth, Cooper turns to the people — and witches — he trusts most. A back door that wasn't forced.

A counterfeit spell with a very specific signature. A buyer who made an offer on the portrait three days before she disappeared. In Holiday Hills, everybody meddles.

That's the charm — and the problem. And this time, the thief has been hiding in plain sight behind a very convincing smile.
