Book Description:
Welcome to Sugar Maple . . .
Sugar Maple may look like your
postcard-perfect Vermont town but that’s where the similarity ends. Our
librarian is a beautiful Norwegian troll. The funeral parlor is run by a family
of vampires. The Sugar Maple Inn is owned by Fae while the werewolves keep our
hardware store well-stocked. For centuries we have been home to house sprites,
witches, selkies, spirits, shapeshifters, and elves.
And who could forget Forbes, our
lovable Mountain Giant?
I’m Chloe Hobbs, the
half-human/half-magick owner of Sticks & String, the most popular knit shop
in New England, where your yarn never tangles, you always get gauge, and the
knitter sitting next to you only comes out after dark. And did I mention that
I’m almost thirty, single, and with no prospects in sight? My friends and
neighbors have been casting spells to help me find Mr. Right but so far their
efforts have been all wrong.
Who'd have guessed I'd find my
soulmate in Luke MacKenzie, a cop investigating Sugar Maple's very first
murder? Bad news is he's 100% human which could spell disaster for a normal
future with a paranormal woman like me--in love, in danger, and in way over my
head.

Praise for the Sugar Maple Stories:
Romantic Times Book Club – 4.5 stars –
TOP PICK
Bretton launches her new series of magic
and murder with an enchanting, lyrical masterpiece that should make its way to
the bestseller list in no time. Brilliantly weaving the town of Sugar Maple
with that of its inhabitants into one living, breathing entity, this novel
captivates readers from the first page. With vibrant, multidimensional
characters, including the town itself, Bretton pens a memorable romance that
combines knitting, love, magic, and self-discovery.
Publishers Weekly
Tongue-in-cheek humor lifts this weird
but fun hybrid, part knitting cozy, part paranormal romance, from romance
veteran Bretton (Just Desserts). After a classy female tourist drowns
mysteriously in an icy lake in remote Sugar Maple, Vt., the Montpelier
authorities ask Boston homicide cop Luke MacKenzie to investigate. As Sugar
Maple's temporary police chief, Luke soon notices the village's odd ambience.
Originally a haven for witches who fled the Salem witchcraft trials three
centuries earlier, Sugar Maple is now home to witches, vampires, fairies and
trolls. Luke is also attracted to Chloe Hobbs, the half-human owner of the
knitting shop Sticks & Strings, who must find Mr. Right if she's to
preserve the spell that sustains the town's unusual residents. As sparks
literally fly between the two, Chloe's "magickal" side stirs into
life. Bretton charmingly depicts how love empowers Chloe and awakens Luke to
some major surprises.
An imaginative and charming tale.
--Shelley Mosley, Booklist (STARRED REVIEW)
A sweet setting with the sparkle of
magic and a bite of suspense makes CASTING SPELLS a standout. --Christie
