Overview
Ella Enchanted meets The Parent Trap in this spellbinding wintery tale where two young enchanters team up to break a centuries-old family curse and accidentally put their entire town at risk along the way. Every winter solstice, when people lock eyes in the Ambrose Ensorcelled Cottage, they fall in love. This year, Alice Ambrose has secretly invited her dad in hopes that her parents will realize they're happier together than apart. With her parents together, Alice will finally feel whole. But when Alice's parents lock eyes...nothing happens. Turns out, the women in her family are cursed to never fall in love. Ronan Knight will do anything to get his enchantress mom to settle on a forever home. Luckily, he's found her a perfect job at a perfect place: the Ensorcelled Cottage. The only snag? His mom would rather run from their mysterious past than settle down. When Ronan learns about Alice's family curse, he figures he can kill two birds with one broken curse, since helping Alice will surely earn his mom points with the owner of Ensorcelled Cottage. But when their meddling causes the town to lose the ability to love all together, and ghosts whisper of the very past haunting Ronan's family, Alice and Ronan discover that happily ever after doesn't look the same for everyone. And sometimes, to get what you want, you'll have to give your heart away.
