Ghost Notes

In the snow-covered coastal town of Misty Bay, Maine, Jasmine Books has become more than a bookstore for widowed owner Brena Matthews—it has become her refuge from a world she no longer fully trusts. Four years after losing her husband Noah in a devastating accident, Brena has carefully built a quiet life surrounded by stories, routines, and memories. Love belongs to the past now. Or so she believes. Everything changes when mysterious purple ribbons begin appearing inside books throughout her store. Each ribbon marks passages that seem written specifically for her. Each handwritten note reveals impossible knowledge about her life, her grief, and the secret loneliness she hides from everyone around her. Then strange music begins drifting down from the supposedly empty apartment above the bookstore, and whispers of a shadowy tenant spread through town. As the messages intensify, Brena uncovers clues that suggest Noah’s love may not have ended with death after all. But the greatest mystery may be the guarded stranger watching over her from the shadows—a man carrying wounds of his own, and a connection to her life that could change everything. Set against the charm of a cozy seaside.
