Make Mine Magic

Claire is a small-town librarian who has been left at the altar and cannot get a refund on the honeymoon. So she goes to New York alone, eats a great many meals for two as one, and eventually invites a harmless-looking old lady to join her for tea at the Plaza.

The old lady is a grand wizard. The amulet she leaves behind makes Claire the sitting queen of New York's magical community — a community currently in the middle of a bitter succession fight, and not at all pleased that the throne has landed on a librarian from out of town. With a cursed former prince as her reluctant guide, Claire has until the end of her 'honeymoon' to find the rightful heir.

Shanna Swendson, author of Enchanted, Inc., writes contemporary fantasy with a light romantic thread: a hidden magical New York, a heroine who is competent rather than chosen, and jokes that land.
