Catching Stars in a Jar
Books of the Kindling, Book One
She is hiding an inconceivable secret. He is facing certain death. Could her mountain sanctuary become their tomb?
Dr. Grace Woodruff has inherited an overwhelming and extraordinary ability. As she grapples with her beloved grandfather's legacy, she is plagued by ominous dreams about the old magic and their mountain. The last thing she needs underfoot is a handsome, enigmatic writer struggling with a devastating illness.
DEA agent Nick McKenzie knows his latest case will kill him. When he arrives undercover at an isolated herb farm on Woodruff Mountain, the intriguing owner works hard to scare him off. He's falling hard for the bewitching doctor, but all his clues point to her as the source of a deadly drug called Smoky Mountain Magic.
Unaware of Nick's suspicions, Grace struggles with the knowledge that using her gift to heal his lymphoma could expose her mountain's ancient secret. But when Nick stumbles over the truth and discovers the real culprits behind the drug, he faces a faster, more violent death.
Will the old magic intervene to save them when they are both trapped beneath the mountain by an old enemy?
Catching Stars in a Jar is the exciting first book in the Books of the Kindling romantic suspense series. If you love a small-town setting, a hero in need of healing, a growing sense of peril, and a hint of something inconceivable - magical realism, then you'll enjoy Donna June Cooper's breathtaking tale.
