Klappentext The latest magical romance in the Spellbound Falls series from the New York Times bestselling author of From Kiss to Queen and The Highlander Next Door Welcome back to Spellbound Falls, Maine-where love is the greatest magic of all... Katy MacBain moved to Spellbound Falls with secrets she plans to keep. The newest member of the Fire and Rescue Team, she disappeared for three weeks before arriving on the job. She doesn't understand why Gunnar Wolfe-the town's interim fire chief and her boss-seems determined to uncover the truth of what happened to her during that time.
