The Kitchen Witch and the Rake

When fifty-two-year-old Deanna escapes to Sidmouth to mend her shattered heart, she wishes for sea air, solitude, and time to heal. What she doesn’t expect is to wake up in 1816. Stranded in Regency Devon with no explanation and no way home, Deanna must rely on the only magic she truly trusts: kindness and the quiet power of healing herbs.

When the rakish yet reserved Percival Hawthorn finally arrives home, Deanna discovers that his carefully cultivated reputation conceals a man weary of expectations, judgement, and his father’s cold disappointment.

Drawn together by mutual compassion for others, their connection grows in ways that could change them both. The two risk scandal and opposition to build something meaningful together, but there is one final choice to make. Will Deanna decide to return to the life she lost or stay in the past with Percival?

Warm and gently romantic, The Kitchen Witch and the Rake is a later-life timeslip romance about finding belonging where, and when, you least expect it.
