When Ian Quinn, who abandoned Aubrey ten years ago, walks in she’s convinced the fairies have a wicked sense of humor.

Review from Conger Books Review

Mr. O’Grady’s Magic Box by Karen Michelle Nutt When Aubrey Jules, reporter for ‘Unbelievable Finds’ Magazine, is scheduled to interview the owner of a magic box, she knows that somehow there is a hoax, and she is determined to reveal the fraud. She doesn’t believe in wee folk or leprechauns performing magic anywhere, let alone grant wishes to mortal people. However, Mr. O’Grady not only introduces her to the notorious magical hand-carved box, but he also introduces her to his grandson, Ian Quinn… the very guy she had fallen in love with during her teen years. She knows there is no kind of magic that will make her forgive him for having jilted her. No way!

The magic in Karen Michelle Nutt’s, Mr. O’Grady’s Magic Box will have you believing in the wee folk, and how they like to meddle into the affairs of humans, especially when it comes to love.

Double Booked by Courtney Michel

Recently divorced Mina Tracey has only two loves in her life, her two year-old daughter Lauren, and a lake craft named, De Dame Kapitien. That is, until there is a mistaken double booking for the same lake-side summer rental. Equally as disillusioned by romance is Cullen Porter, who plans a quiet get away vacation from his job and emotional problems, only to be ‘Double Booked’ into the life and troubles of a divorcee. This is a very sweet romance with the kind of guy you wouldn’t mind having for yourself. If there hadn’t been a vacation mishap, Mina and Cullen might never have met. Courtney E Michel shows us how an everyday catastrophe could be Fate’s way of making our day.
