Some romances begin with a careful introduction, a sensible plan, or two people deciding to take a chance.

In Moonwell Cove, they are just as likely to begin with an enchanted pumpkin, a reservation nobody made, a bouquet delivered to the wrong door, a meddling ghost, or an entire town becoming far too interested in someone else’s love life.

Moonwell Matchmaking brings bright, playful paranormal romance into the wider Moonwell world — following one modern couple at a time as gentle magic, local businesses, seasonal celebrations, and well-meaning neighbors create charming romantic complications.

These stories move throughout the town, from cafés and bakeries to bookshops, market stalls, festivals, garden paths, and old posting boxes with opinions of their own. The magic may arrange an opportunity, misdirect an invitation, or make avoiding one another nearly impossible.

Romance is rarely private in Moonwell Cove.

The town may meddle.

The magic may misbehave.

But a happy ending is always around the corner.

Cassie Fletcher has left the plus-one line blank.

Moonwell Cove has other ideas.

While preparing the town’s Autumn Open House, Cassie discovers that a pale heirloom pumpkin has written Wesley Harper’s name on her invitation. She replaces the card. His name returns.

Then the rest of the event begins adjusting itself accordingly.

Place cards pair them together. Volunteer lists assign them as a unit. Deliveries arrive with both names attached. And the Garden Society—Moonwell Cove’s unofficial civic authority—responds with the kind of careful containment that guarantees everyone will know something unusual is happening.

Cassie and Wesley have worked together for years. Their friendship is easy, dependable, and safely professional.

At least, it was.

As the pumpkin’s mischief spreads through Moonwell Cove, Cassie and Wesley are forced to look more closely at the connection they have carefully avoided naming—and at the practical futures that may be pulling them in different directions.

The magic can reveal a possibility.

It cannot make the choice for them.

Warm, romantic, and delightfully unruly, The Plus-One Pumpkin launches the Moonwell Matchmaking series with autumn charm, town-wide paranormal mischief, frequent Garden Society interference, and one very determined blank line.
