When the dean of Bishop College in Boston threatened to close Petra Ambrose’s Pre-Revolutionary American History department, she could feel all of her work towards her dream career slipping through her fingers. To her dismay, students weren’t interested in American Puritanical culture and the status of women in their time, not unless it involved trendy witches glamourized in modern society.
In a last hope to save her job, Petra was tasked with finding something new and exciting to draw in more students. Not exactly sure where to start, she headed up the coast to explore sites other than cliche and touristy Salem.
Small-town Maine had her imagining a quaint village straight out of a romance novel on the water. To some extent, she found it, with the quirky, nosy neighbors, but Deadlights Cove was entirely too dingy to be run by its no-nonsense mayor. Plus, everyone in town seemed to be in on some joke at her expense, none more so than the mischievous and overly friendly bartender, Blaze. Far too handsome for his own good, the man had the unfair ability to irritate her more than anyone else ever had while simultaneously setting her heart racing.
Tess hasn’t experienced many kindnesses in her eighteen years. So, when her boyfriend abandons her at a small-town gas station with nothing but the clothes on her back, she’s furious, but not overly surprised.
Since calling her parents isn’t an option, she finds herself at the mercy of strangers. But even the worst situations can have a silver lining. For Tess, it’s a town called Jasper Creek, a diner everyone calls Earl’s, and a young mechanic named Colten Reed.
