"Smitten"

Welcome to Smitten, Vermont.

With the help of four friends, it s about to become the most romantic town in America.

The proposed closing of the lumber mill comes as unwelcome news for the citizens of Smitten. How will the town survive without its main employer? A close-knit group of friends think they ve got just the plan to save Smitten. They ll capitalize on its name and turn it into a tourist destination for lovers and maybe revived their own love lives along the way.

"Secretly Smitten"

Summer, fall, winter, spring Smitten, Vermont, is the place for love . . . and mystery!

There s a secret in Grandma Rose s attic a forgotten set of dog tags belonging to her first love. But David Hutchins was killed in action and never returned to Smitten. How did the dog tags end up in the attic?

The mystery intrigues Rose s three granddaughters Tess, Clare, and Zoe and they decide to investigate, though their mother, Anna, warns against meddling. But as the seasons turn and the mystery unravels, they encounter some intriguing mystery men of their own.

"Smitten Book Club"

The century-old Gentlewoman s Guide to Love and Courtship is no ordinary book club choice. But for the little book club in Smitten, Vermont, it might be their best pick yet! The thick, leathery tome Heather pulled out of the dusty cardboard box was definitely coming home with her. Not only was The Gentlewoman s Guide to Love and Courtship an appealing curiosity by virtue of its title; it was also written by a Smitten, Vermont, native. When Heather and her fellow book club members begin passing the book around, their respective interpretations are unleashed on their love lives . . . for better or for worse. Is it a mystery? An idealist fantasy? An intimation of Jane Austen? As romantic love finds its way to each woman, the Guide proves itself both surprisingly prescient and hilariously irrelevant."
