Dilly's Wine & Flea

by Marcy Dewey Mahoney

Her magic can guide lost souls … but can it heal her heart?

When Lily Cleary inherits her beloved grandmother's haunted antique shop, she's confronted by the ghosts of her past … a steamy summer love, a cruel curse, and a dangerous magic hidden away in the old lodge next door.

Decades after fleeing the Adirondack Mountain town where she spent her summers with her grandmother, Lily—now in her forties—is drawn back by fate’s pull. A chance meeting with a handsome brewmaster, whose destiny is entwined with hers, stirs a slow-burning attraction. Her hereditary spirit magic awakens again, as does the attention of her old summer flame, who’s determined to use the lodge’s dark magic to get what he wants—no matter the cost.

As Lily begins to pick up the pieces of a life she once loved, she is faced with a surrender to the love that could heal her … or fall to the darkness that has haunted her for decades.

Dilly’s Wine and Flea is part romance, part supernatural suspense, and all wonderful to read. Every page was a delight in this truly fantastic tale. I was touched by the family story and thrilled by the battle against greed. Each character came to life with their own story and struggle. In the end, I wanted to move to Hobblebush and be a part of this charming community that Marcy Mahoney has created. I strongly recommend Dilly’s Wine and Flea.

I had the pleasure of being set up at a makers market right next to Marcy Mahoney and I always try to purchase from authors and, boy, am I glad I did. This book was a real treat. Magic and myth, quirky characters and love, all incredibly well done. I loved it!

Love the book, love the characters, love the world Marcy has created. I want to live in it. Minus the evil-doers.

Just what I needed to end the year with. Some coziness, some whimsy, and a whole lot of affirmation that power lies in community.

I absolutely LOVED this book! Even as a teenager, Lily is so relatable. Nards is my favorite character, and I love how the story isn’t like anything I’ve ever read before. It really captures that unique, magical feeling of the Adirondacks. This is a must read!
