Mother Knows Worst — Julie Ann Dawson

Marriage counselor Nancy Werlock didn't want to take over the family business. Unfortunately for her fate, and a bunch of conniving but well-meaning spirits, have other plans. Now Nancy finds herself fumbling through exorcisms and training a sexy new apprentice. Because for Werlock women, the family business is demonology. And at the Three Wishes Boutique, the customer may not always be right, but he may very well be possessed.

This collection of two short stories is approximately 6.900 words.

The Inquest: Nancy already has her hands full trying to hold her marriage counseling practice together while keeping her mother's shop open. But now she also has to worry about a friend making unwelcome advances on her new apprentice, gossip-hungry rivals, and a full blown Inquest into the recent activities of the dead but still meddlesome Grande Madame Vivika.

Mother Knows Worst: What happens when a pushy spirit with a knack for erosmancy decides to play Cupid? Let's just say it makes for an awkward working relationship between a demonologist and her apprentice.

This is the second release in the series. The first release is Nancy Werlock's Diary: Dear Diary (sold separately). The complete first season (Episodes one through seven) are available as a Bundle as Nancy Werlock's Diary: Season One.
