Succumb to temptation and follow the call to Hillvale- population 325 - a cozy little mountain town filled with love, mystery, and ghosts... Award-winning author Patricia Rice presents book #4 in her celebrated Crystal Magic series, abundant with magic and mishap on the way to happy-ever-after. The path to the altar can be a happy time, fraught with tension, but in eccentric Hillvale, a wedding can be more challenging than most. A Wedding Gift puts a dubious feng shui master and a mysterious doll that won’t stay in place in the way of Samantha Moon and Chen Ling Walker’s happiness. For Theodosia Devine-Baker and Kurt Kennedy, the Wedding Question means grappling with Halloween stirring Hillvale’s ghosts—not to mention a ceramic dragon that breathes smoke signals. But when it comes to holiday excitement raising Hillvale’s spirits—both literal and figurative—the Wedding Surprise isn’t just unexpected, it’s a question as to whether or not Keegan Ives and Mariah’s love can survive an unanticipated bundle of joy.
