Starting Over
She’s broke, broken, and starting over. One janky hex at a time.
She's broke, broken, and starting over with $200, a judgmental snail named Gary, and a Kia that might not make it through the week.
When Tansy Tingle fled her ex's penthouse, she left behind everything—money, stability, and any sense of who she used to be. Now she's living in her car and making increasingly questionable decisions. Desperation doesn't care about your moral compass.
Her first client as a hex worker seems a woman with tears in her eyes, a bruise on her arm, and an ex who won't leave her alone. Tansy's been there and done that. She knows that story by heart. So she takes the job without asking too many questions.
Turns out, not all victims tell the truth.
Now she has to break her own hex, even if it costs everything.

The book starts with Tansy secretly leaving her abusive girlfriend to start a new life. With little money, she starts offering hexes online.
She soon finds out that she needs to research her customers before imposing the hex. Add to that her ex is trying to track her down.
Life isn't easy for Tansy.
