Becca, newly single and newly unemployed, wants to believe she has psychic powers. With nothing but time—and a desire for empowerment—she's studying to become a witch.

What she doesn't know is that her three cats—Harriet, Laurel, and Clara—are the ones with the real power. And when Harriet, ''a cream-colored longhair with more fur than commonsense,'' conjures a pillow for her own comfort, Becca believes her spells are finally working.

Could that be why Trent, the coven's devilishly handsome leader, has been showing her special attention? Or why Suzanne, a longtime coven member, draws her aside to share a secret—a confidence that may lead to murder?
