Description
There once was a town where nothing ever happened—until, one day, it did.
Corinthia, the librarian of Shadow Ridge, doesn’t fall for mysterious strangers. She doesn’t go for long walks in the woods. And she most certainly does not believe in magic.
She has her books, her rescued hound, and her Cabinet of Chocolate—everything she needs for a cozy evening alone, thank you very much.
But when a bet with her best friend leads to a hike in the maze-like nature preserve behind the Shadow Ridge Library, she meets a mysterious woman who challenges everything she thought she knew about her town, her destiny, and her heart.
She doesn’t believe in magic… but magic believes in her.
A Note From the Publisher

Featured Reviews

I really enjoyed getting to read this book, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed in this type of book. It uses the fantasy element in a unique way and enjoyed the overall experience of this book. Kate Moseman writes a strong world and characters that I cared about and was engaged from start to finish. I'm glad I got to read this and am excited to read more from Kate Moseman.

This book was so cute, and sweet, and romantic. I loved all of the characters, especially Coranthia. I relate to her so much. I especially love that the story takes place in Florida, as a native Floridian myself. The plot was fun, the characters and their development are great, and I would love to see this continue as a series of this magical version of our world.
Corinthia normally avoids the outdoors and sticks to her library, but one day she ventures out after encountering a interesting woman and she begins to feel an unexpected connection to the forest that starts calling to her and leading her to Rosemary at night.
