Description

Practical Magic meets Gilmore Girls – a gorgeous cosy read and a Waterstones Best Romantasy Book of the year.

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

An old tale whispers of love as the snow falls. And then of a broken heart…

Carrie Morgan expects trouble on her return to the mountain town of Woodsmoke after ten years. But it is a beautiful stranger who awaits her, and with whom Carrie begins to fall in love.

Carrie’s family warn that her new love is a curse. If Carrie is to embrace the power from her family’s book of spells, she must trade something to lift the curse. But at what price?

There is always a choice to be made. Even when it comes to love…
