Bewitched and Betrothed

Lily Ivory, a witch who runs a vintage clothing shop in San Francisco, is only weeks from her wedding when trouble arrives from two directions at once. Her relatives are coming to town, and a supernatural force is loose in the city.

The first sign is a uniform that once belonged to a prisoner at Alcatraz, which Lily comes across by chance. Soon after, a cousin of SFPD inspector Carlos Romero is kidnapped. Lily suspects that something dangerous has been stirred up on Alcatraz, an island already thick with ghosts, and she sets out to find whoever is responsible.

Sleuthing has to fit around the rest of her life. Houseguests need entertaining, and a few romantic tangles among the people close to her need sorting out as the date draws near. Recent omens may point to a magical threat aimed at the city she has adopted as home. If so, she will need to gather her allies to protect the Bay Area.

This is a paranormal cozy mystery with a witch as the sleuth, a haunted setting and a wedding countdown. Family comedy sits alongside the danger, and the final obstacle between Lily and the altar is a demonic enemy.
