X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>In front of an elegantly shabby townhouse 
 on a Savannah side street sits a hand-painted sign: Miss Edie\, Psychic. I
 ngrid White inherited the house and business from her beloved grandmother\
 , a local celebrity in town. But unless Ingrid can find a way to pay for c
 rushing property taxes and mounting repairs\, she&rsquo\;s going to lose t
 hem both.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Ingrid has faith in the home
 spun witchcraft Edie passed down to her\, yet hope and clients are dwindli
 ng. . . . Until Sailor Loeffler&rsquo\;s bachelorette party changes everyt
 hing. Sailor is local royalty&mdash\;part of the vast &ldquo\;Savannah Sau
 ce&rdquo\; empire\, beautiful and wealthy beyond imagining&mdash\;and Ingr
 id&rsquo\;s reading is so accurate that she becomes the bride-to-be&rsquo\
 ;s confidante. To keep that access and all the privileges it brings\, Ingr
 id relies more and more on hexes and dark spells&mdash\;using the baneful 
 magic Edie always warned her against.</p>\n<p>As Ingrid works even riskier
  spells\, she is drawn further into the Loefflers&rsquo\; inner circle and
  the obstacles in her path melt away. But is it witchcraft or other\, more
  earthbound forces?&nbsp\; Ingrid can feel the lines blurring even as her 
 powers seem to grow\, until she must confront the truth about just how far
  some people\, including herself\, will go to keep the life they&rsquo\;ve
  always wanted . . .</p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;">Books will be av
