An ordinary photo shoot becomes an extraordinary invitation to adventure, when Marley Montgomery encounters a mysterious photobomber on a Miami beach. The bathing beauty, dressed in swimwear from a century ago, pops up in almost every frame.
When the fashionable flapper follows Marley back to her hometown of Enchanted Springs, the mystery deepens. Before long, Marley realizes that her photos reveal more than meets the eye—and that her gift for photography is bigger than she ever imagined.
As a favor to her grandmother, Marley agrees to photograph the community’s Founders Festival. As she works, Marley discovers that her charming hometown is anything but ordinary. She also learns that Enchanted Springs harbors secrets—and that some ghosts of the past are dying to come out of the shadows and into the light.
Luckily, Marley has people she can trust: her Grandma Clara, owner of the Enchanted Oven bakery; Eleanor, the proprietor of the Enchanted Antique Shop; and Sadie, the new history professor in town. And with the help of her unlikely band of guides, Marley can face a future that’s intertwined with the past.
The Enchanted Antique Shop
A haunted mansion, a priceless painting, and a spirited sleuth. It’s just another magic Monday in Enchanted Springs.
Marley Montgomery is the newest proprietor of the Enchanted Antique Shop. She’s also the latest in a line of time-traveling witches, a talent that caught her completely by surprise.
Upended by her unexpected abilities, she’s come back to her charming hometown—a perfectly normal paranormal community. Nestled within its borders, witches cast spells, spirited ghosts share stories from the Great Beyond, and vampire detectives take a bite out of crime.
When an art heist leads to murder, Marley is plunged headfirst into a mystery that threatens to turn her new life upside down. And when a legendary ghost asks for help, she must untangle a web of family secrets, hidden motives, and haunted history to catch a killer and recover a missing masterpiece.

In the charming small town of Enchanted Springs, Marley Montgomery’s life as the proprietor of the Enchanted Antique Shop is far from ordinary. Hidden within the store is a secret time-travel portal that whirls her into the past. But when Marley steps through that portal for a simple errand—to recover a missing piece of vintage dinnerware—she embarks on a journey that will stretch the very fabric of time.
Through the quiet back room of her shop, where echoes of the past cling to dusty shelves, Marley steps into 1954. It’s a world where the American Dream is alive and well, with unparalleled hopes and family gatherings frozen in amber … and in the soft candlelight of memory, she finds herself tethered to an elderly man with a final Thanksgiving Day wish.
In the Enchanted Antique Shop, every ticking clock tells a story, and every heartbeat is a step on the path to infinity. Join Marley as she learns that some journeys through time are more than just a trip to the past—they are voyages into the heart.
The Christmas Spirit

As Marley Montgomery embraces her role as proprietor of the Enchanted Antique Shop, she faces an unexpected challenge. Throughout Enchanted Springs, the community’s Christmas spirit is waning. When the ghost of its founder descends from the shop’s attic, tragically bound in ethereal chains, Marley realizes that she’s got to work her own brand of magic to rescue him.
To save both the ghost and the holiday, Marley must embark on a journey through time to rediscover the magic of Christmas Past. It’s a quest that will test both her abilities and her understanding of the town’s history.
Can she rekindle the warmth and charm of long-lost Christmas joy? Can she free the town’s founder from his spectral bonds? Or will the residents of Enchanted Springs face a bleak and desolate holiday season?

Thrills and Chills
Life in a gently haunted antique shop offers more than a few thrills and chills—but when an unseasonable cold front sweeps through the Enchanted Antique Shop during a Florida heatwave, proprietor Marley Montgomery and her spectral team need to act fast.
It’s not just a chill in the air. The icy presence is even endangering the resident spirits at the shop.

When the ghosts of two town founders resurrect a historic rivalry, they agree to face off on a life-size chessboard. The showdown pits Henry Addison, a visionary industrialist, against Hettie Stillson, a staunch Temperance advocate. And for this ghostly game, they’ll play with spectral armies of ghosts, paranormal players standing in for all the pieces.
Their coveted trophy: a bottle of wine so rare, it glows with the spirits of vineyards long since past, guarded by a priest whose love for a fine vintage is surpassed only by his reverence for the sacred rules of play.
Marley Montgomery is the proprietor of the Enchanted Antique Shop. Her friend Sadie is a history professor. And when Violet, one of the shop’s resident spirits, invites them to witness the metaphysical match, it’s an offer they can’t refuse—especially since Violet, a spirited 1920s flapper, will play the part of the white queen.
Amidst a symphony of otherworldly melodies, Marley and Sadie discover that in Enchanted Springs, the game of chess is a dance of destiny, where every move echoes through eternity, and the shadows of history come alive to play their part.
