Something Borrowed, Something Brewed

Something Borrowed, Something Brewed

Patti has poured coffee for thirty years and never once let anyone bring her a cup. Then her magic wakes up. A Christmas novella.

Patti Rooney has poured coffee at the Fairhaven Diner for thirty years and never once let anyone bring her a cup. Three weeks before the Christmas Eve wedding of the season, her magic wakes up—and it will not take no for an answer. The coffee pot pours for her. The best booth reserves itself. The pie case has started making pointed suggestions. And the piano player she sent away in 1999 just walked back into her diner, folded his coat on the third stool, and ordered decaf. Patti is catering the wedding. Nobody asked, because nobody needed to. What nobody counted on—least of all Patti—is a season where the whole town, the whole coven, and the diner itself conspire to teach the woman who feeds everyone the one skill she never learned: being fed. A complete, closed-door Christmas novella set in Fairhaven, with the whole coven in attendance, one very opinionated cat, and a happily-ever-after twenty-seven years in the making. Lovely anytime; best with the series behind you.

Whispers From the Readers

Magic doesn't require perfection. Just intention, humor, and maybe a second glass of wine.
