Mysia Springs
MYSIA SPRINGS
A warm, witty Hades-inspired romantic fantasy about second chances, chosen family, and the dangerous difference between protection and truth.
Cordelia Bloomfield arrives in Mysia Springs with a teaching job, an affordable trailer, and a carefully organized plan to rebuild her life. She intends to teach history, remain sober, and avoid becoming the subject of another story.
Mysia has other plans.
Before long, Cordelia has been welcomed by an eccentric school librarian, recruited to sing at the historic River’s Rest resort, handed responsibility for half the town’s emergency planning, and adopted by a community that refuses to let her remain temporary.
Then her voice awakens something beneath the river.
When a three-headed dog erupts from the springs during her first paid performance, Cordelia responds the only way she knows how: she takes control of the microphone, clears the exits, and gets everyone to safety.
The enormous creature recognizes River’s Rest owner Rafe Sedah.
More disturbingly, it recognizes Cordelia.
Rafe is guarded, dangerously competent, and entirely too familiar with mythological disasters. He also appears unchanged in photographs taken decades apart.
As viral videos attract tourists, investigators, opportunists, and an ancient enemy hiding behind a familiar face, Cordelia begins collecting evidence.
The river is a gateway.
Cerberus is real.
The Horsemen are moving through Mysia.
And Rafe has built every partial explanation around one truth he refuses to reveal.
Blending contemporary Greek mythology, old Florida atmosphere, supernatural suspense, small-town comedy, found family, and an adult slow-burn romance, Mysia Springs is for readers who love capable heroines, guarded immortals, enormous dogs, emotional recovery, and love stories in which trust must be earned.
