Hiding in the shadows, staunch singleton Willow Anderson is content running her successful business, The Enchanted Emporium. With Christmas days away, she’s eager to exchange selling bespoke tea blends and spells for extended bubble baths and binge-watching festive movies snuggled next to her Maine Coon, Vincent. Nate never usually runs away from his problems, but drunk and disorientated, he finds himself in a small fisherman’s cottage in the Yorkshire coastal town of Whitby. After discovering his girlfriend’s affair, he is in no rush to return to the City. His wish for time alone in a Christmas-free zone comes true until an uninvited feline guest arrives.

Sparks fly and not just the romantic kind. When darkness from Willow’s past returns and threatens to destroy all she has worked for, pursuing a love affair is the last thing she needs. With meddling ghosts and a teenage apprentice with her own matchmaking agenda, love and change are in the air. But can Willow face her fears, and the past, to capture the happiness she deserves?

Paperback Price: 14.99
The last night of the year is often associated with champagne and music, resolutions, and, for many, finding that perfect person to kiss upon the stroke of midnight. And while the nine stories in this collection certainly don’t lack the music and the dancing, the kissing and the goal setting, the characters in Another Chance to Get It Right: A New Year’s Eve Anthology experience a wide range of emotions as they find themselves closing out one year and looking to the next. As you reflect on your achievements from this past year and decide whether you’ll be making resolutions for the upcoming one, spend some time with these featured stories. Whether they’re welcoming the birth of a child, grieving an unexpected loss, contemplating a career move, or simply looking forward to counting down to midnight with their best friend and the girl they have a massive crush on, these characters all find themselves in similar positions as the clock runs out on the year: a decision looms that will set the tone for the next one—and possibly many more to come. Reviews: “Hope, romance, second chances, and finding self-confidence are just a few of the themes you'll come across in this book. I recommend Another Chance to Get It Right not only for the holidays, although it would make a great gift, but also for all throughout the year.” “Here are nine short stories to take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions regarding New Years Eve! Stories of hope, new beginnings, understanding and more on a night for resolutions and choices.” “What I especially appreciated was the balance between humor and depth. It wasn’t all cracks and giggles; several stories had open or even bittersweet endings that reflect the reality of New Year’s for many. Not everyone rings in the new year with a kiss at midnight; some characters need to spend New Year’s alone and find contentment within themselves, while others take the time to gain a new perspective. Those kinds of stories were my favorite! It felt so human, if that makes sense? The characters and their struggles felt genuine and relatable.”
