Declan Harper is determined to have the reluctant woman he desires as his bride, even if it means visiting the old witch who lives in the woods beyond Tanglewood, Mississippi to purchase a love potion. But he finds the old woman gone, long dead. In her place is her bewitching granddaughter Matilda, who claims to know nothing of the kind of magic he wishes to possess. As far as Matilda Candy is concerned no good ever came of love, and she can't imagine why Declan is so intent on having the power of love in his hands. But as she attempts to deliver what he wants an unexpected love blooms and Matilda finds herself wondering . . . Can love be manufactured, or is it impossible to touch the heart with even the strongest magic?
