Midlife So Magnificent (Forty's The New Forever)

What do Selene Atwood and Hale Hall have in common? Both need a makeover. Forty-something Selene Atwood is ready to start a new chapter in her life. Divorced and with a very empty nest, she’s determined to restore the ancient estate and turn it into a trendy new B&B. The only thing darker and more mysterious than the dilapidated old castle is the owner, Cullen Hale. A self-made man in his own right, millionaire Cullen has ferventlyguarded his privacy. Selene can’t help wonder why he’s chosen her of all people to manage his new business endeavor. When the castle’s groundskeeper is found murdered in the giant hedge maze, Selene finds herself accused of the crime. She’s got to prove to Cullen—and the county Sheriff—that she’s innocent. Which means she must find the killer herself. Luckily, she’s got Presto, a magic cat. The snarky ginger cat can lend a paw when he’s not sulking around like a spoiled prince. Wait, magic cat? Yes. Magical cat. Because the secrets of Hale Hall run deep—and its ancient power reveals something about Selene’s own ancestry. Selene might actually be a witch. A witch that the lonely, dilapidated castle has summoned for reasons beyond earthly renovation. Hale Hall is a place where paranormal entities check in, but they don’t check out. Can Selene and Prestofind the killer in time, or will they end up as lost souls haunting the castle walls?
