FROM THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE DREAM HARBOR SERIES, COMES A NEW SMALL-TOWN ROMANCE SET IN THE QUIRKY TOWN OF MAPLE HOLLOW.

The darker the woods, the bigger the secrets…

Ruby Bellerose lives on the edge of the woods, in a cottage more akin to a fairy tale than modern day life. Her love life is practically non-existent, and she keeps away from the whispered gossip that travels through Maple Hollow.

Until a chance encounter with Rafe.

As mysterious as he is brooding, Ruby is drawn to the woodsman, curious to find out about the stranger who lives deep within the woods.

But Rafe is hiding a secret. And with something lurking in the shadowy forest, will Ruby find that Rafe is her knight in shining armor, or something altogether more dangerous…

Big Bad Wolf is book 1 in the Maple Hollow trilogy and is available to pre-order now!
