Harper Hartley has never asked for magic. Yet Willowbridge-her quiet, charming, too-old town-keeps nudging its way into her day. Steam curls into shapes, reflections whisper, pigeons stare in perfect unison, and a golden origami bird seems determined to have opinions. Everyone else calls it coincidence. Harper calls it suspicious.
When Rowan Marlowe steps into her life-soft-spoken, observant, and hiding a power he's desperate to control-the strange moments begin to sharpen. The town reacts to him. The bird reacts to him. And Harper can't tell if she's imagining the connection between them... or if Willowbridge has been waiting for it.
As forgotten histories resurface and long-silent magic begins to stir, Harper is pulled into a truth woven between their families, their choices, and the town's quiet heartbeat. With humor, chaos, slow-burn tenderness, and a mystery older than both of them, Harper must learn to trust what she sees-even when the world tries to pretend it's ordinary.
Some magic whispers.
Willowbridge listens.
And Harper is finally listening back.
