Hayleigh Gray is already cursed when she turns to Elk Ridge, Washington, after losing her job, her savings, and her relationship.
A lump on her beloved horse’s neck finally pushes her toward the small town’s winter festival and its community of witches.
She wants nothing to do with magic, yet Stephan Midwinter, a handsome animal-rescuing artist with a long reputation and more power than she trusts, insists his coven did not cast the curse and offers to help her find the real source before Christmas Day.
Snowed into a kitschy holiday train B&B, they confront ancestral secrets and mischievous holiday spirits as Hayleigh’s resistance to both magic and Stephan begins to give way.
His way of life stands against everything she was taught to want, and the curse keeps tightening as the holiday deadline nears.
The season may force her to choose between a different kind of Christmas magic and the old patterns that have already cost her so much.
