Magic brought her home. Love might make her stay.Piper Wakefield hasn't set foot in Hickory Hollow in a decade.

Alice wasn't just the town florist; she was the Guardian of the Crossroads, the one who kept monsters from slipping through the veil. And now Piper is next in line.The only person willing to help her? Owen McAllister-childhood friend, longtime admirer, and the one man determined to show Piper that coming home might be exactly what she needs.But danger is rising along the magical highway, and Hickory Hollow's quaint charm hides far darker secrets. When a gate breaks open, unleashing a threat that could destroy the town, Piper and Owen must trust each other-and the spark growing between them-before the road to hell runs right through Hickory Hollow.
