Knotty or Nice: A Cozy Paranormal Romantic Comedy of Curses, Crafts, and Second Chances

by Wynn Valentine

When the Yule lights start to dim over Tinselcroft, Holly Bennett’s holiday spirit is tested like never before. The cheerful craft witch can knit her way through most magical mishaps, but this year’s blizzard isn’t natural—it’s cursed. And the only person stubborn enough to help her stop it is Rowan Hale, a reclusive bear shifter who treats emotions like they’re an allergic reaction.

Trapped together in a storm that seems determined to freeze the entire town, Holly and Rowan must combine her cozy craft magic with his untamed wild power before the enchanted Yule tree dies—and takes Tinselcroft’s magic with it.

The problem? She believes in teamwork and tea breaks. He believes in solitude and survival. But as they battle cursed snowdrifts, ancient runes, and their own hearts, they might just learn that the line between grumpy and nice isn’t as cold as it looks.

Perfect for fans of small-town charm, reluctant partners-to-lovers, and holiday magic that warms more than your cocoa.

That was a delightful little holiday magic rom-com
I loved that they town/ the story could not have succeeded with out the community! Each person made an impact and without them coming together they could not save the Town’s tree!
