Full Moon in Leo

Small-town magic might just lead to love in this charming holiday romance.

Cole Morrison left the sleepy mountainside town of Jewel ten years ago and hasn’t been back since. But after a disastrous family Thanksgiving, he’s in need of an escape for the holidays, and Jewel—with its snow-blanketed fir trees and lights on every storefront—seems the perfect spot. But when a run-in with a beautiful stranger leaves him with an unexpected job and a debt to pay, Cole’s solo getaway turns into a crash course in the holiday spirit.

Jesse Carroway’s been running Carroway Apothecary ever since his grandmother left it to him. When Cole stumbles into his shop and destroys most of the inventory right before the holiday rush, Jesse’s first thought is panic. His second thought is that this stranger’s piercing eyes might be a little bit magical.

Cole’s clumsy with candles and slow with salt scrubs, but soon Jesse gets to know the man behind the bad-boy reputation. And as the chilly California nights lengthen toward the Solstice, Cole slowly falls under Jesse’s spell....
