A Wheeler Park Christmas: The Witches of Wheeler Park, #5

By Christine Pope

Christmas is made for magic…unless a spell takes a wrong turn.

 

For the past six months, Addie Grant's life with Jake Wilcox has been a perfect storm of love, in and out of the bedroom. As her first Christmas with him and the extended Wilcox clan approaches, there's only one thing she could wish for. Okay, two things. Snow, and an engagement ring.

 

Jake has a ring burning a hole in his pocket. He's just waiting for the perfect moment to spring it — preferably Christmas Eve, with a backdrop of falling snow. But as the holidays approach, the cold skies over Flagstaff remain stubbornly clear.

 

When the clan joins forces to investigate, they find out that magic, especially weather magic, can have a butterfly effect of unintended consequences. And if they're going to have a white Christmas, they'll have to find a way to break a spell without making things worse….

A native of Southern California, Christine Pope has been writing stories ever since she commandeered her family’s Smith-Corona typewriter back in grade school and is currently working on her hundredth book.Christine writes as the mood takes her, and so her work includes paranormal romance, paranormal cozy mysteries, and fantasy romance. She blames this on being easily distracted by bright, shiny objects, which could also account for the size of her shoe collection. While researching the Djinn Wars series, she fell in love with the Land of Enchantment and now makes her home in New Mexico.
