Merry Meet Again
Yuletide is usually her favorite time of the year, but Cora Sparks isn’t ready for this turning of the wheel.
After having her heart broken and her trust shattered, she decides to return to her hometown to heal—or hide. Valley Creek Hollow is the last place she wants to be, but she has no choice as she flees her ex-fiancé and troubling job situation. With her emotions high and her magic on the fritz, Cora has no patience for the holiday cheer.
Luckily, she has her mother and her best friend to help pull her out of her pit of despair—much to her dismay. What she doesn’t expect is to run into her childhood best friend, Theo Mercer, who now owns the bookstore in town. But he’s not the same goofy boy with crooked glasses who chased her with frogs anymore. No. He’s all handsome face and quiet confidence now.
As she steps in to help Theo save the bookstore from a financial crisis, she feels not only her magic growing, but feelings as well. Feelings that are easily returned by Theo. What isn’t easy is struggling to find the balance between the grief of her past and the hope of her future.
Will Cora be able to quell her fears and reconnect with herself, or is she fated to a life of what ifs? Only the universe knows.
Set against twinkling lights and snow-dusted memories, this is a story about:
Returning home when the world falls apart
Grief that lingers long after love is lost
The quiet magic of being truly seen
Rediscovering yourself
And the kind of love that grows slowly, gently, and right on time
Tender, cozy, and emotionally rich, Merry Meet Again is a story of second chances—at love, at magic, and at believing in the future again. For anyone who has ever felt broken by the past yet dared to hope for something more, this novel reminds us that even when the wheel turns unexpectedly, the universe may still be on your side.

What the coven says
“The writing feels like wrapping yourself in a blanket that still smells faintly of cinnamon and pine soft, nostalgic, and a little bittersweet. There are moments of gentle romance, but the true magic lies in Cora’s journey toward herself.”
-Iris
“It’s a quiet story, not dramatic or overly twisty but that’s exactly what makes it beautiful. It’s about coming home, forgiving yourself, and realizing that healing doesn’t always look grand; sometimes it’s just letting someone hold your hand in the middle of a snowstorm and saying, ‘I’m still here.’”
-Manjima
“I loved the way this book was written a very cute romance featuring small town charm with a slight sizzle of romance in the air.. this is totally up your street if you’re looking for cute cozy reads and minimal smut.”
