Lilac Love — Rosie Evylin

Amanda is in hiding, Elsie is desperate for connection. LILAC LOVE is a small town witchy friends-to-lovers romance that will melt your heart and make you believe in love again! When Amanda moves to the sleepy small town of Glen Haven, the best part, as far as she's concerned, is that the locals don't like newbies. In fact, she's counting on everyone leaving her alone to hike in the woods and pick up the pieces of her life. Amanda's running-more like sprinting-from a dark and dangerous past, and she doesn't need anyone poking their nose into her business, trying to be friends... or even something more. So when she meets sweet, sultry Elsie, she desperately tries to keep her distance. She knows how badly it can hurt when someone you care about lets you down. Better not to let anyone in in the first place. But now she's living with Elsie, and she finds herself wanting to be with her all the time, to share things about herself nobody knows. The two form a fast, if unlikely, friendship, and Amanda begins to believe she could trust, and maybe even love, again. Except Elsie's keeping a secret. A big secret. Something that no one else in Glen Haven knows. She's a witch, and the woods where her feisty new friend Amanda loves to hike are in danger from a dark, sinister magic. Can Elsie tell Amanda her secret and enlist her help to find the magical culprit without risking the growing attraction between them? Or will Amanda's fear of being hurt keep them from finding happiness? You'll love this closed-door small town romance with a dash of dark mystery, baking and a rambunctious puppy! Lilac Love is a whimsical witchy love story that will light the candle in anyone's heart.
