Expected 8 Sep 26Everyone in the Burns family has been cursed since they came to the old Colorado mining town centuries ago. No one in Sophie's family has lived past the age of 28, and with her final birthday just a few weeks ahead of her, Sophie decides to spend one last Yule season in the town where it all started.
Sophie's uncle, Tiberius Winchester, invites Sophie to stay with him in his charming (and slightly sentient) Victorian home. Knowing every day could be her last, Sophie was hoping to have one last cozy holiday season. That plan is thrown into disarray when Sophie meets Ash, the enigmatic and flirtatious owner of the local bookstore. Though her uncle has warned her to stay away from him and his rakish charms, Sophie teams up with the adventurous Ash to cross off every item of her recently uncovered childhood bucket list.
Sophie and Ash's chemistry becomes undeniable as they grow closer. And when an opportunity to end her curse for good arises, Sophie is faced with a perilous question: how can she face the possibility of living when she has only ever been prepared to die? But as Sophie grows closer to Ash, she learns that he might not be as innocent as she first thought - he and his family have a dark secret that he'll do anything to keep under wraps.
This love letter to Yule and the coldest months of the year will inspire readers to wrap themselves up in a blanket and sit by the hearth as they indulge in the seasonal recipes in the back of the book.
