About this ebook

Her life has spiraled into disaster. Will a trip to a town full of Fae let her conjure up a happy ending?

Olivia Howard feels like a failure. Dumped by her husband and kicked out of grad school, the driven twenty-eight-year-old retreats to her mother’s backwater North Carolina town, fearful everyone will learn of her shame. But between a handsome rock climber and a series of impossible events, the frustrated young woman wonders if there’s a magic to this tiny place that she’s been missing.

Trying to keep a low profile but impatient to escape her mom’s eerily quiet bookshop, Olivia begins dating the mysterious athlete. And though their outings get progressively weirder and more dangerous, she struggles to resist his glamorous persona…

Can Olivia navigate a bewildering fresh start without getting fooled by fairy gold?

The Lady Slippers is the whimsical second book in the Whippoorwill Gap paranormal women’s fiction series. If you like spooky romance, adorable pets, and believable fantasy, then you’ll love L.C. Maxie’s enchanting adventure.

I loved reading The Lady Slippers. I was a little nervous at first, because I honestly really disliked Olivia in the first book, and she started off the same way. But as the story progressed, she quickly became more likeable and empathetic. Biscuit helped a lot with that. Her growth didn't feel forced or unrealistically fast, as is so often the case with similar stories. Instead, we got to come along as Olivia faced her problems and became a better version of herself.
