Rowena's bright eyes closed when her sister-in-law left the room. The pain in her back was acute now, and she was glad to rest. Her doctor had told her that there was a slight injury to her spine, and that she must lie on her back for a year, if she wished to be strong again. She had never remembered a day's illness in her life. She rode, she boated, she hunted, and she fished, always in company with her beloved brother. His marriage had not lessened the bond between them, for his wife was devoted to her, and had not a particle of jealousy in her composition. She did encroach on Rowena's good nature, but was conscious of it herself, and told her husband that Rowena was but an unpaid servant in their house....FROM THE BOOKS.

Sparks fly when two ex-best-friends team up to save a family business in this swoon-worthy and witty debut perfect for fans of Jenn Bennett and Sarah Dessen. Caroline “Chuck” Wilson has big plans for spring break—hit up estate sales to score vintage fashion finds and tour the fashion school she dreams of attending. But her dad wrecks those plans when he asks her to spend vacation working the counter at Bigmouth’s Bowl, her family’s failing bowling alley. Making things astronomically worse, Chuck finds out her dad is way behind on back rent—meaning they might be losing Bigmouth’s, the only thing keeping Chuck’s family in San Francisco. And the one person other than Chuck who wants to do anything about it? Beckett Porter, her annoyingly attractive ex-best friend. So when Beckett propositions Chuck with a plan to make serious cash infiltrating the Bay Area action bowling scene, she accepts. But she can’t shake the nagging feeling that she’s acting irrational—too much like her mother for comfort. Plus, despite her best efforts to keep things strictly business, Beckett’s charm is winning her back over...in ways that go beyond friendship. If Chuck fails, Bigmouth’s Bowl and their San Francisco legacy are gone forever. But if she succeeds, she might just get everything she ever wanted.

In the world of Terre, the descendants of the winter god Boreas, the Saints of Noël, protected the Source of Yule — an entity incarnating solace, renewal, and rapture. The ensuing bloodline were champions of goodwill and peace; their annual signature celebration known as Conveyance across the lands. Boreas' soul resided in the principal Saint, Nicholas Kringle I, and every son and grandson that succeeded him to the throne was known as the Saint of Cheer, or "Santa Claus" — Conveyance's icon, and a heart full of light. But with every trace of light, there is darkness. Eve Alcazar grew up without a smile. Curiosity as to why leads to an adventure she had never anticipated. Tasked to intercept winter demon Krampus' quest for the Source of Yule, Eve makes a perilous journey across the nation of Polaris with her cousin, Nick, and best friend, Desiree. But to succeed, she must accept her identity as both the once-concealed granddaughter of the current Saint of Cheer... and the muse of the King of Misery himself.
