Moonville · #1
Old Flames and New Fortunes
Fibs and squabbles and spells . . . oh my!
A small, magical town tucked away in rural Ohio, Moonville is the perfect place for floral witch Romina Tempest to use the language of flowers to help the hopeful manifest love in their lives. After giving up on her own big romance eleven years ago, at least she can bask in others' happily ever afters.
When the shop’s potential financier shares news of his wedding, Romina jumps at the opportunity to discuss the business . . . even if it means she has to fake-date her chaotic colleague Trevor to get an invitation. But all hell breaks loose when she discovers Trevor’s soon-to-be stepbrother is none other than Alex King: her high school sweetheart. Her greatest love. The boy who broke her heart.
What starts as an innocent misunderstanding becomes a weeklong fake-dating scheme, as Romina quickly finds out she can’t deny her connection with Alex. Caught between her livelihood and her heart, Romina must decide if taking a second chance on first love is worth the risk.
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.
