A grumpy ghost. A quirky artist. In one enchanted town, love—and the past—refuse to stay buried.

When Ivy Castillo returns to Moonriver Cove to restore its crumbling magical mural, she expects cracked paint—not a sarcastic ghost trapped in the wall.

Ezra Dorian was the town’s brooding historian before a curse turned him into pigment and plaster. Now, every stroke of Ivy’s brush brings him closer to being real—and closer to stealing her heart.

But as the mural reveals long-buried secrets, Ivy uncovers a dangerous conspiracy in Moonriver’s enchanted history. To free Ezra, she’ll have to face meddling witches, gossiping gardens, and reconnect with her own magic.

Perfect for fans of Practical Magic, The Great British Bake Off, and cinnamon-sweet love stories.

Each novella in the Moonriver Cove collection can be read as a standalone or in any order.
