博客來Welcome back to the Nettles B&B-where enchanted heirlooms hum with history, pixies meddle in the sugar bowls, and love is always brewing.
Nan and Mossy Nettles thought opening a bed-and-breakfast would be the perfect retirement adventure. Nestled in a restored Victorian mansion just blocks from the ocean in Daytona Beach, Florida, their whimsical B&B is finally ready for guests-and its first wedding.
Vivi Lane and Bo Folly arrive under a veil of secrecy, eloping for a small garden ceremony surrounded by tea, wisteria, and Florida sunshine. Mossy, newly ordained and poetically overqualified, takes his officiant duties to heart. Nan dives into the planning with precision and fondant. Mabel, their neighbor with a gift for floral magic, weaves wisteria crowns and pixie-laced bouquets. It’s all coming together for a perfectly imperfect day...
Until the haunted music box escapes the attic.
Discovered in a forgotten trunk, the delicate silver heirloom begins playing a melody of its own. Emotions swell. Secrets surface. Guests blurt spontaneous love confessions. The string quartet is harassed by unseen forces. And Nan can’t shake the feeling that something-or someone-is orchestrating more than the wedding.
Cordelia, the B&B’s resident ghost with romantic regrets, becomes oddly enchanted by the bride. Bithia, a Victorian spiritualist and Cordelia’s ghostly sister, remembers the music box from a séance past. Once given as payment by a grieving widow, the box holds more than music-it carries emotional residue and a question that still echoes.
As vows are written and teacups clink, the melody tightens its grip. Only honesty, heart, and love may need to speak louder than magic to see the day through.
But perhaps-like love itself-this wedding doesn’t need to be perfect to be perfectly magical.
