Moonville · #2
The Folklore of Forever
From the acclaimed author of Old Flames and New Fortunes comes a steamy enemies-to-lovers romantasy about a paranormal skeptic who is roped into a ghost hunting romp by the charming boy next door . . . who might just show her what real fantasies are made of.
Paranormal skeptic Zelda Tempest is hoping for a much-needed creativity boost for a new paranormal mystery novel. But despite the alleged magic of her hometown, Moonville, Ohio, she’s as stuck as ever.
With two witch sisters, not believing in magic is strange for a Tempest, but no one is more disappointed than Morgan Angelopoulos, the charming man next door. So, to cure her of her writer's block and her disbelief in magic, Morgan ropes her into a ghost-hunting romp, only for Zelda to discover something else entirely: bizarre, never-before-seen creatures that appear as ordinary pets to everyone else.
Curious about what else might be lurking in Moonville's woods, Zelda and Morgan embark on a quest to uncover the true magic that lies in their midsts . . . and perhaps, just maybe, they will find that the magic they're searching for has been with them all along.
The series
Tucked deep in the Ohio countryside lies a town that seems almost too enchanted to be real—a place where flower spells linger on the breeze, ghost stories might just be true, and love arrives in the most unexpected forms. In the Moonville series, the ordinary and the otherworldly meet with a wink and a sigh, crafting small-town romantic tales tinged with whimsy, warmth, and a whisper of magic.
Read full series description
Each story in this quiet, character-rich universe centers on a member of the quirky Tempest family, where witchcraft is inherited like heirloom recipes, and heartbreak is healed with humor and haunted houses. Whether it’s Romina, a flower witch whose perfectly arranged bouquets might just meddle in fate, or Zelda, a folklore skeptic tangled up in a paranormal mystery she can’t explain away, these heroines aren’t chasing love—they’re stumbling into it while trying to stay out of their own way.
What makes this series sing is its gentle weirdness: a setting that feels as if it exists on the edge of a fairy tale, characters who are painfully sincere and hilariously self-aware, and romances that bloom not with fireworks, but with awkward confessions and ghost tours gone wrong. The magic here isn’t about spells or spirits—though both make an appearance—it’s about timing, healing, and letting yourself be seen.
For readers who crave slow-burn romance with a touch of magical realism, cozy settings that carry an undercurrent of mystery, and writing that balances sincerity with sly wit, this series delivers something quietly enchanting. Moonville doesn’t shout for your attention—it charms its way in and stays with you, like the echo of a laugh on a moonlit porch.
