Practical Magic meets Gilmore Girls – a gorgeous autumnal, cosy read

*************************************************

'Magical and grounding at the same time, otherworldly and natural. I absolutely treasured it from beginning to end.' Cecilia Ahern, Sunday Times Number One bestseller

**************************************************

There is an old tale that weaves through the mountain town of Woodsmoke.

It whispers of a stranger who appears as the snow falls, only to disappear in spring.

Leaving behind a broken heart…

Carrie Morgan expects trouble when she returns to Woodsmoke after ten years.

What she does not predict is the beautiful stranger who walks into her life with the first frost and with whom Carrie begins to fall in love.

Bound to her family’s book of spells and a deep magic that flows from the mountains, Carrie’s family warn that her new love is a curse who will disappear when the frost thaws.

If Carrie is to embrace the power a Morgan woman carries, she must trade something in return.

But is lifting a curse worth any price?
