Twenty-nine-year-old Imogen Banks is hashtag struggling.

After a disaster ends her career, destroys her home and burns up all the money she's saved to open her own bakery, she enters a baking contest for an all-or-nothing, last ditch chance at getting her life together.

But when she arrives at the mysterious island off the coast of France, she discovers all the inhabitants of the quaint town are magical and if she wins the contest, she'll become the next royal baker at the castle on top of the hill. No worries that the last royal baker appears to have been murdered.

And one more small thing- Imogen herself is apparently a witch!

As Imogen struggles to learn new spells, wrangle a snarky magical flame into baking her desserts and try and not burn the whole white tent down in the process, a fellow contestant drops dead with all evidence making Imogen the top suspect.

But she hasn't only caught the eye of the bumbling and pompous police inspector, who's doing his best to pin the crime on her. With a hunky medic and a broodingly handsome baker vying for her attention, Imogen's whipped a little romance into the mix.

But when she discovers ties between the recent murder and the previous royal baker's death, Imogen's out to not only clear her name, but figure out which of the cooks has a taste for killing.

Will Imogen tap into her fledgling powers in time to save herself, or will it all prove a recipe for death and disaster?
