The Secret of Sweetgrass Cottage
(2025)(The second book in the Blackbird Springs series)
A novel by Mary Walden
Some houses remember. Some hearts take time to reignite…
Willa Merriweather doesn’t believe in magic—until she inherits Sweetgrass Cottage. The crumbling house on the edge of Blackbird Springs has a wild garden that breathes, walls that hum lullabies, and a neighbor who glares at her through the overgrown sweetgrass like she’s personally offended the sky.
Beckett Knox isn’t just grumpy—he’s a storm wrapped in flannel. A former firefighter who fled his career after a rescue went tragically wrong, he’s back in Blackbird Springs to care for his uncle and disappear from a world that no longer makes sense. The last thing he needs is a sunshine-hearted stranger digging up the past he buried … or a cottage that insists on spitting mysteries at them both.
But when the sweetgrass whispers warnings and Willa uncovers a century-old love letter hidden in the walls—one that echoes Beckett’s own shattered heart—they realize the cottage won’t let either of them hide forever.
A tale of lost souls, second chances, and the quiet magic of coming home.
Genre: General Fiction
