Kun saapuu joulu kaupunkiin. Nelikymppisen Vilman elämässä on yksi vaihe päättynyt. Avioliitto nuoruudenrakkauden kanssa on ohi, kaksi teini-ikäistä lasta elää onnellisessa symbioosissa älypuhelintensa kanssa ja omakotitalo pikkupaikkakunnalla on laitettu myyntiin. Kun ex-mies haluaa viettää viimeisen joulun lasten kanssa vanhassa kodissa, Vilma sisuuntuu ja buukkaa itselleen Airbnb-asunnon Helsingistä. Helsingissä Vilma rakastuu kaupungin sykkeeseen – valoihin, ravintoloihin ja merenrantoihin. Kun kuvioissa pyörähtää miellyttävä ruotsalainen liikemies, Vilma huomaa, että jouluun voi sisältyä todellista taikaa. Mutta kun vanhat salaisuudet avioliitosta alkavat nousta pintaan, onko Vilma valmis kohtaamaan myös sen elämän, joka jäi jo taakse? Talvikaupungin valot kääntää päälaelleen perinteisen ajatuksen hyvästä ja ihanasta joulusta. Autuus ei aina löydy sukujoulusta pirtinpöydän äärestä, vaan omannäköisen joulun voi joskus kokea ihan muualla. Vilma on esiintynyt ensimmäisen kerran Me Naiset -lehden vuonna 2024 julkaisemassa jatkokertomuksessa.

An enchanting novel about a witch who has a second chance to get her magical powers—and her life—back on track, from the national bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches . Sera Swan was once one of the most powerful witches in Britain. Then she resurrected her great-aunt Jasmine from the (very recently) dead, lost most of her magic, befriended a semi-villainous talking fox, and was exiled from her magical Guild. Now she ( slightly reluctantly and just a bit grumpily) helps Aunt Jasmine run an inn in Lancashire, where she deals with her quirky guests' shenanigans, tries to keep the talking fox in check, and longs for the magical future she lost. When she learns about an old spellbook that holds the secret to restoring her power, she turns to Luke Larsen, a gorgeous historian who might just be able to help her unlock the book’s mysteries. Luke, who has his own reasons for staying at the inn, never planned on getting involved in the madcap goings-on around him and certainly had no intention of letting certain grumpy innkeepers past his icy walls, so no one is more surprised than he is when he not only agrees to help, but also finds himself thawing . Running an inn, reclaiming lost magic, and staying one step ahead of the watchful Guild is a lot for anyone, but Sera is about to discover that she doesn’t have to do it alone... and that the weird, wonderful family she’s made might be the best magic of all.

Born ​in the firelit domain of the under realm, Matilda is the youngest goddess of her clan, blessed with humble messenger magic. But in a land where gods often kill each other to steal power and alliances break as quickly as they are forged, Matilda must come of age sooner than most. She may be known to carry words and letters through the realms, but she holds a secret she must hide from even her dearest of allies to ensure her survival. And to complicate matters . . . there is a mortal boy who dreams of her, despite the fact they have never met in the waking world. Ten years ago, Vincent of Beckett wrote to Matilda on the darkest night of his life―begging the goddess he befriended in dreams to help him. When his request went unanswered, Vincent moved on, becoming the hardened, irreverent lord of the river who has long forgotten Matilda. That is, until she comes tumbling into his bedroom window with a letter for him. As Fate would have it, Matilda and Vincent were destined to find each other beyond dreams. There may be a chance for Matilda to rewrite the blood-soaked ways of the gods, but at immense sacrifice. She will have to face something she fears even more than losing her magic: to be vulnerable, and to allow herself to finally be loved.

Two graduate students must set aside their rivalry and journey to Hell to save their professor’s soul, perhaps at the cost of their own. Alice Law has only ever had one goal: to become one of the brightest minds in the field of Magick. She has sacrificed everything to make that a reality—her pride, her health, her love life, and most definitely her sanity. All to work with Professor Jacob Grimes at Cambridge, the greatest magician in the world—that is, until he dies in a magical accident that could possibly be her fault. Grimes is now in Hell, and she’s going in after him. Because his recommendation could hold her very future in his now incorporeal hands, and even death is not going to stop the pursuit of her dreams. Nor will the fact that her rival, Peter Murdoch, has come to the same conclusion.
