A Spell for Midwinter's Heart: A Novel

Rowan Midwinter, a witch who has avoided magic since a spell went wrong in high school, returns to her mountain hometown for the holiday season after being persuaded by guilt. She finds the town facing a crisis: the beloved winter festival lacks the necessary snow and is threatened by a megacorporation seeking to purchase it. Rowan agrees to help save the festival despite her intention to avoid magic. Her efforts are complicated when Gavin McCreery, the prodigal son of the festival's landlord, insists on assisting her. Their interaction creates an unexpected chemistry that literally triggers holiday lights. As the festive season progresses and the stakes become clearer, Rowan must confront what she left behind, address her fear of her own power, and allow her heart to guide her decisions.
