Conjuring Casanova by Melissa Rea. $16.95, 978-1-63152-056-3.

Size Matters by Cathryn Novak. $16.95, 978-1-63152-103-4. If you take one very large, reclusive, and eccentric man who lives to eat, add one young woman fresh out of culinary school who lives to cook, and then stir in a love of musical comedy and fresh-brewed exotic tea, with just a hint of magic, will the result be a soufflé—or a charred, inedible mess?
Dark Lady by Charlene Ball. $16.95, 978-1-63152-228-4.
