Spooky Matchmakers
(2025)(A book in the Spooky Matchmaker series)
An omnibus of novels by Carol Maloney Scott
The two companion novels in one bundle!
Nobody Tells Lia Anything - Book 1
Lia needs ANSWERS from beyond, NOT matchmaking!
When twenty-something Lia’s grandmother dies, her life is knocked upside-down. In order to satisfy the terms of her inheritance, Lia is forced to move to the family’s apartment complex in the scenic mountain town of Applebarrow, leaving behind her dead-end job and long-term boyfriend, Jason.
While she’s happy to fulfill her Granana’s unusual dying wish to play social director to the eclectic group of tenants, she’s surprised to discover they are not what she was expecting. Her days as an RA in her college dorm were inadequate preparation for personalities such as a jealous librarian who names her Thanksgiving turkeys, a charmingly naive mechanic who thinks New Wave is beach music, and a volatile menopausal woman who claims to be a delicate flower.
To add to the mayhem, she meets Logan, an attractive young bartender with a penchant for rescuing her from absurd antics, such as losing her phone to a raccoon and thinking Long Island Iced Teas contain little alcohol.
As Jason’s behavior becomes increasingly suspicious and erratic, Lia can’t help being drawn to Logan’s thoughtfulness, wit, and intense blue eyes.
While adapting to her new community, secrets and lies emerge, and Lia wonders what the deceased, AND living, people in her life are hiding.
Working to uncover the evidence, Lia hopes a wacky, unexpected visitor from beyond will provide the answers she craves – before she loses her grip on reality, and the love of her life.
Something Molly Can't See - Book 2
Sometimes you can't see what's been in front of you all along!
Thirty-something, single mom Molly’s dreams came true when her new friend, Lia, invested in her dollmaking business, and Molly’s Dollies was born.
Unfortunately, her romantic dreams were shattered when her husband of over fifteen years invested in a pyramid scheme – and ran off with all their money, and the woman at the top of the pyramid.
No one has seen or heard from Ray in over a year, and Molly is finally opening up to new love. She babysat Tucker Swanson many moons ago, but their five-year age difference no longer matters, now that he’s a strong, sexy, and successful man.
Unfortunately, as soon as Tucker acts upon his lifelong crush on Molly, Ray suddenly turns up and hinders their newfound romance with his own agenda.
While juggling argumentative teens, waitressing, and her new business, Molly further complicates her life by agreeing to attend a ‘silent’ retreat with her neighbors that is anything but Zen, and eventually finds herself in a champagne glass hot tub – but with the wrong man.
When she finds an unexpected guest from the great beyond eating a chicken leg on her toilet, a whole new set of questions and obstacles arise to keep her and Tucker apart. Past and present secrets begin cropping up like the first flowers of spring, and Molly looks to loved ones old and new to help her find her long-lost aunt.
As she struggles to uncover the truth about her family’s past and Tucker’s present, she can only hope to salvage true love with the man of her dreams - before the rest of the people in her life make her as crazy as a bedbug.
These books are perfect for fans of small-town romance, found family, quirky casts of family and friends, and a little paranormal humor!
