Noelle Jackson is a high-stakes Manhattan litigator who treats life like a trial she’s determined to win. She’s cynical, brilliant, and cursed. Every Christmas, disaster strikes. This year, her "holiday luck" strands her in a blizzard-choked lodge in the Spanish Pyrenees, face-to-face with Julian Maxwell—a man as rugged and unyielding as the mountains he calls home.When a touch between them restarts an ancient, magical clock that has been silent for forty years, the "Lucky Magic" of the Maxwell line is triggered. But for Noelle, "luck" has always been a double-edged sword. As an ancient debt comes due and the lodge is besieged by a storm that isn't entirely natural, Noelle and Julian must navigate a forced proximity that turns from icy professional tension to a heat that could melt the mountain. In a world of fine print and ironclad logic, Noelle must decide if she’s willing to sign her name to a destiny she can’t control—and if Julian is the man to finally break her curse, or the one she’s been fated to lose all along.
