Kira Smythe is one of those small-town girls who makes it
as a big-time lawyer in the city and never wants to look
back. Yet, when a tragedy leaves her drained and ill, back
home is right where she finds herself. The longer she
stays, the more she realizes that her little town isn't
quite the way she remembers it. She appreciates her
parents' talents with new eyes. For now, Kira sees things
differently.
Life is never dull for Kira, and seeing dead people is part
of the package. They are talking to her and she is not
going crazy. Her dear friend, the local librarian, passes
away shortly after Kira returns and wills the library to
Kira. There are a few strings attached and Kira has only
one month to make her decision.
A friend from college has introduced Kira to a carpenter
who just happens to heat her up -- and she falls hard for
him. However, her new boyfriend has some secrets -- but then
so does Kira. How does she explain that she has special
abilities?
Someone is threatening Kira, her health is at risk, and the
clock is ticking on the decision that will change the
course of her life forever. Take the dream job of a
lifetime or stay in Sweet and become the town's librarian?
How much stress can a girl take?
Candace Havens gave this reader exactly what she
wanted. After reading her other Charmed stories, I'm
delighted to report that LIKE A CHARM is a gem of a story.
Havens has a talent for writing energizing and relaxing
stories that leave a smile on your face long after you turn
the last page. Simply charming.
From the acclaimed author of Charmed & Dangerous
comes a sassy new paranormal romance about a gorgeous
librarian who sees dead people.
Kira Smythe
never thought she'd end up back in her hometown of Sweet,
Texas. But now that her high-powered job, along with her
five-year plan, have gone right out the window, she's back
where she started, staying with her hippie, tofu-obsessed
parents-except that somehow she's inherited the local
library. At least there's a gorgeous guy in town who seems
quite smitten with her. So what if he's got a few secrets up
his sleeve? After all, Kira's got her own secrets. Like the
dead people who won't stop talking to her. Or the magical
books on the shelves. Or the fact that someone who's very
much alive seems determined to push her over to the other
side.
