Starlight Antiques: a cozy magical small-town novel (Moonlight Springs Book 1)

Maura Redding returns to the misty Ozark Mountains with one goal: sell her late grandmother’s antique shop and escape back to her fast-paced life in Chicago. But the shop has a mind of its own, and the trinkets inside are pulsing with an ancient, restless energy. When a glowing brooch and a mysterious, ringing bell thrust her into the role of magical guardian, Maura realizes she has inherited a legacy far more dangerous and enchanting than dusty inventory.

Caught between the supernatural secrets of Moonlight Springs and a skeptical town historian named Cole Brinkman, Maura is forced to defend the town’s heart against developers. Cole relies on hard facts, yet he finds his world shifting as he works alongside the woman who is suddenly making the impossible seem real. This delightful paranormal romance weaves a spell of small-town charm, perfect for anyone who loves a cozy mystery with a dash of destiny.

As the mystery of the Amethyst Stone deepens, Maura discovers that the magic she once wanted to avoid might be the missing piece of her own soul. Embracing the found-family of locals and a second-chance at a life of purpose, she must choose between her corporate safety and the wild, magical home she never knew she needed.
