In this romantic, cozy debut, a Nigerian witch must grapple with an ancient curse that will erase her family's magic and doom her beloved bakery forever unless she finds her soulmate. Perfect for readers of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches.

Wahala (noun, Nigerian): Trouble; inconvenience; problem, bother

In Kamalu Lane, Nneka is a witch grappling with an ancient family curse: find her soulmate or risk all the witches of Kamalu Lane losing their powers forever. 
In a desperate attempt to force fate's hand, Nneka brews a love potion, but chaos erupts when the potion is accidentally added to Nneka's famous puff puffs, causing every man who eats them to fall in love with her, except Dakoru, the handsome architect determined to reshape Kamalu Lane. Though Nneka feels an undeniable connection with Dakoru, she knows falling for a human could doom them both. But Dakoru is no ordinary man, and it's clear he is connected to magic in some way. As their connection grows, Nneka needs to figure out if Dakoru is the key to breaking her curse and restoring balance to Kamalu Lane before its future is lost forever.
