Alice Harper didn't move to the mountains looking for magic. She was looking for herself. Freshly divorced and determined to figure out who she is beyond being a wife, mother, and scientist, she buys an aging inn in the tiny mountain town of Briar Glen, convinced a fresh start is exactly what she needs.

The bartender claims she's a siren. And the quiet, impossibly handsome man everyone calls "Alpha" never once breaks character. Alice has to admire their dedication.
