Mystic Springs Series by Linda Winstead Jones

Something in the Water? Marnie Somerset’s new job at the Mystic Springs Library seems almost too good to be true.

But the library is fantastic, her new house is charming, and the hot local writer keeps crossing her path. In more ways than one... moreSomething in the Water?

Is this the woman he’s been waiting for? less
