Twig's Traveling Tomes

A plot is brewing between the adventure and romance aisles. When visiting Twig's Traveling Tomes, customers will get the exact book they need, even if it isn't the one they want. As for the proprietor and renowned Book Witch, Louella Twig lives her life sequestered with her stories, just as she likes it. When devilishly handsome rogue Everett Sharp stumbles in looking to remove some handcuffs—closely followed by Louella's former tutor, whose prized grimoire has been stolen—her literary sanctuary is fully upended. Only Louella's magic can locate the grimoire, and teaming up with Everett is her best chance at retrieving it . . . but how can she trust that the man behind the wolfish grin isn't interested in stealing the book for himself? With a host of friends old and new, Louella sets off on an adventure she never thought she'd take—and starts to realize that, just like her books, what matters most has always been what's under the surface.
