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

An inherited antique shop. An Ozark mountain town. A magical legacy she never asked for.

Maura Redding only planned to stay in Moonlight Springs long enough to settle her grandmother’s estate. Sell the antique shop. Pack up the memories. Return to her corporate life in Chicago.

But Moonlight Springs has other plans.

Her grandmother’s brooch begins to glow. The antique shop seems to have opinions. And an old bell is far too determined to be ignored. Before Maura can make sense of any of it, she discovers she’s inherited more than a shop. She’s inherited the responsibility of protecting Moonlight Springs’ magic.

Town historian, Cole Brinkman, believes in records, research, and things that can be proven. He doesn’t believe Maura’s visions are real. But when a developer plans to tear out the town’s historic fountain, Maura and Cole are pulled into the same fight to protect the heart of Moonlight Springs.

She sees the magic woven through the town. He sees a woman who is changing everything he thought he knew.

As Maura uncovers the truth about the antique shop, the fountain, and the Amethyst Stone, she must decide whether the life she built in Chicago is really the life she wants, or whether Moonlight Springs is offering her the home, purpose, and love she never knew she needed.
