Thain: One minute, I'm solving cases in my small town of Mystic Harbor, and the next, I'm face-to-face with her. Ellie Landish. Witch. Former fiancée. And the biggest 'what if' of my life. I still don't understand why she broke my heart three years ago, but now she's back, tangled in a case that reeks of magic and trouble. I should keep it professional, solve her problem, and walk away. But seeing her again stirs up everything I thought I'd buried. And worse? Every time I look at her, I want what we had back.



Ellie: Going to Thain was my last resort, and yet here I am, hiring the ogre who shattered my trust. My greenhouse is in ruins, and my rare, enchanted plants—my livelihood—are dying. If I can't figure out who's behind this, I'll lose everything. But working with Thain complicates things. I thought I'd buried my feelings, those stolen moments we once shared. My heart already took one beating from him, and I'm not risking it again. This will be strictly business. But every smirk, every stolen glance makes me question what happened back then and where we might go now. Solving the case is one thing. Surviving Thain? That's the real challenge.
