It's early fall, 1975. The war is over, ABBA recently released their spectacular third studio album, and Gretchen Marigold is having the time of her life.

Making her way lovingly through the wanna-be witches who live alongside real magic users in her coven, Gretch is leaving a trail of broken hearts but satisfied lovers in her wake. Her life in the small town of Starbridge, Massachusetts is fun, carefree, and enchantingly delicious.

Across town, rushing to a lecture on the Religions of Precolonial Mexico, Jace's life is the opposite of carefree. Though she too is a witch, and a far more powerful one at that, she's less than two semesters away from finishing her PhD at Wellesley College, and her schedule is jam-packed. As a black woman in academia, she has to work twice as hard for half the credit. As an ambitious woman with goals of helping others like her gain access to a quality education, Jace works three times as hard.

When these two very different witches meet, their opposing viewpoints and attitudes towards magic proves eruptive. In more ways than one.

But just as their unrelenting attraction towards each other begins to blossom into something deeper, a charismatic and thoughtful visitor comes to town and everything changes.

Is the passion between Jace and Gretchen enough to supersede their differences, or will they be torn apart by the opinions of others and the shadows of their past?
