A quiet bookseller. A reclusive writer. And one bookshop where the stories come to life. Literally.
Hazel Waters left behind her sensible city life to open a cozy bookshop in the quirky mountain town of Moonlight Springs. She expected quiet days filled with paperbacks and tea. What she didn’t expect? Books whispering, ink disappearing from the pages, and a rare folktale book vanishing without a trace.
Then Luke Hanes walks through her ruby-red door. Reclusive, infuriating, and far too charming for her peace of mind. Luke is a bestselling author hiding from a scandal—and himself. But he also might be the only person who can help her uncover what’s unraveling the town’s stories.
When reading aloud pulls them both into the actual world of a book, Hazel and Luke are forced to work together to find a way back.
With the town’s legends stirring and a forgotten magic awakening, Hazel must uncover what’s causing the stories to fade—before Moonlight Springs forgets its own history.
Thankfully, Hazel’s not alone. With the help of her fiercely loyal new friends—Maura, the antique shop owner with sharp intuition and stronger tea; Ivy, the warm-hearted baker who always knows when you need a slice of pie; and Verena, the innkeeper who just might know more than she lets on—Hazel is about to discover that some stories are meant to be lived, not just read.
