AUTHOR OF COMEDIC COZY FANTASY
Katherine Hornsboggle and Imogene Dodge are done with their criminal past—honestly.
They’ve traded in their outlaw lifestyle for seaside views, knitting projects (strictly non-magical), and only the one pub brawl (entirely accidental). But when an old friend begs them for help, they're back in the game.
Their last heist—the one they botched all those years ago—needs finishing. And fast.
Saint Percival’s is in danger. The convent is sinking into the ground, the dragons and nuns swindled by a ruthless real estate mogul. It's up to Katherine and Imogene to set things right, armed only with enchanted needles and the power to knit a magical map straight to the villain’s lair.
The mission? To go back to where it all ended, outwit their enemy and save Saint Percival’s.
Except this time, they have the help of their beloved otherworldly cats and dragons. And the same charming rival who blew up their plans the first time round with just a wink…
What could possibly go wrong?
Katherine and Imogene didn’t mean to rewrite destiny… honestly.
