<p><strong style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)><em>Yuletide is usually her favorite time of the year but Cora Sparks isn't ready for this turning of the wheel. </em></strong></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>After having her heart broken and her trust shattered she decides to return to her hometown to heal-or hide. Valley Creek Hollow is the last place she wants to be but she has no choice as she flees her ex-fiancé and troubling job situation. With her emotions high and her magic on the fritz Cora has no patience for the holiday cheer.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Luckily she has her mother and her best friend to help pull her out of her pit of despair-much to her dismay. What she doesn't expect is to run into her childhood best friend Theo Mercer who now owns the bookstore in town. But he's not the same goofy boy with crooked glasses who chased her with frogs anymore. No. He's all handsome face and quiet confidence now.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>As she steps in to help Theo save the bookstore from a financial crisis she feels not only her magic growing but feelings as well. Feelings that are easily returned by Theo. What isn't easy is struggling to find the balance between the grief of her past and the hope of her future.</span></p><p><strong style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>Will Cora be able to quell her fears and reconnect with herself or is she fated to a life of what ifs? <em>Only the universe knows.</em></strong></p><p></p>
