The Spellbound Cottage - by Genevieve K Thomas (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Cottage Checklist:

✔️ Fix the leaking turret

✔️ Find a new home for the pixies

✔️ DO NOT fall for the handsome handyman

Freshly single and heartbroken, Beatrix Bilberry moves to a tumbledown cottage in the magical village of Little Sparrow.

But her new home comes with unexpected company: gnome infestations, troublesome pixies, a melodramatic ghost haunting the attic, and Barnaby, an adorably sleepy hearth dragon.

Her annoyingly gorgeous neighbour Angus takes delight in teasing her about the impossible renovation work. Tall, tattooed, and effortlessly charming, Angus has a way with people and animals that makes him far too easy to fall for... to everyone, it seems, except Beatrix, as his careless comments grate on her nerves.

Besides, Beatrix has no time for romance. Winter is approaching fast, and she's racing to restore the cottage before the first snowfall. She's promised her family a magical festive season - and she's determined not to let them down.

Beatrix works around the clock, but with a complete lack of plastering skills and magical creatures constantly undoing her hard work, she soon realizes there's only one way to fix Spellbound Cottage. She'll have to swallow her irritation and accept Angus's help...

But when the meddling cottage keeps locking them in rooms together, Beatrix realizes she's facing something far more dangerous than rebuilding a home: opening her heart to love again.

The Spellshop meets Hex Appeal in a heartwarming cosy fantasy full of small-town charm, gentle magic, and a sweet, slow-burn romance.
