A cozy, contemporary romantasy about a teen witch who wants to keep her family's apothecary from falling to the competition but can only do so with assistance from her first crush. Plant witch, Sage Bishop, is determined to run her family's old apothecary one day. She spends her time trying to invent the perfect tonic to put Bishop Brews on the map. And she's going to need one quickly, too, because their biggest competitor is drawing away customers. Short-staffed, her nana hires Ximena Reyes, Sage's ex-best friend and first crush, who's more of an unwelcome distraction than anything. Ximena has always dreamed of leaving their small town behind while Sage wants to tend to her roots. And during one of their first shifts together, someone breaks into Bishop Brews, stealing several tonics, including the one Sage has been working tirelessly on, the same one that wipes a councilmember's kid's memory. To avoid being shut down by the sheriff, Sage decides to investigate. If so much wasn't at stake, she'd do it alone. But with her grandmother's legacy and her future on the line, she must partner with her ever smug and unfairly pretty new coworker. As Sage begins to fall for Ximena (again), she'll have to decide if the comfort of the familiar is worth missing out on a chance at real happiness.
