Release Date: 1 August 2024

Becca Ashworth's family faces a crisis, endangering not only their magical legacy but also the quaint village of Biddicote. Desperate to remedy the situation, Becca defies witching norms by summoning an ancestor for aid—an act with unforeseen consequences.

Connor Lynch, a covert operative for the Witches Council, is tasked with investigating the Ashworths' activities. Yet, he finds himself unexpectedly playing the role of Becca's faux husband at a magical inn in Cornwall, embarking on a quest to locate a mystical artefact alongside the spirited witch.

As their mutual attraction intensifies, Becca and Connor begin to question the principles they've been taught. Beyond the search for the missing artefact, they find themselves searching for something more profound—love. But as duty clashes with desire, they realise that meddling with magic comes with its own set of risks.

The enchanting world-building and the sparkling chemistry in the love story captivated me.

While I adored Harry Ashworth from the previous book, I never expected to love Connor as much. Yet, his portrayal was flawless, and I thoroughly enjoyed witnessing his character evolve throughout “Careful What You Witch For”.

The delightful blend of sweetness and amusement created an absolutely fabulous experience, especially paired with the swoon-worthy romance. I devoured this book and eagerly anticipate more from Emma Jackson in the future!
