Dear Reader

family fam-i-ly [fam-uh-lee, fam-lee] –noun

1. a group of persons, closely related by blood, who know all the best ways to drive you crazy
2. but you love them anyway
3. and they love you

It's true – no one knows how to push your buttons better than family. The bigger the family, the more button-pushers to dodge. (I should know – I grew up with five brothers and sisters!)

That's why my new contemporary romance, A Little Light Magic, is a crazy romp through the landscape of a big fat "loving and smotheing" family.

It's the story of what happens when a girl with no relatives meets a guy with way too many.

Tori Morgan wants nothing more than a family to call her own, but all she has is the broken down seaside bungalow she’s inherited from her recently deceased great-aunt. Summoning all her optimism (and all her savings), she envisions a funky New Age shop. Only problem is, the city won’t let her open for business without building code upgrades, and finding a contractor on the cusp of summer at the Jersey Shore is about as easy as carrying beach sand in a sieve.

Enter contractor Nick Santangelo, a guy with more family than he can handle. Nick’s foremost concern is his rebellious teenage daughter, who's been sneaking out to spend time with a boy who reminds Nick way too much of himself at that age. (And given the fact Nick became a father at eighteen, that’s not a good thing!) Nick’s family frustrations are compounded by his kleptomaniac nonna, his menopausal mother, and a younger brother who’s missing work at Nick’s company in favor of soap opera auditions. No wonder Nick’s sanity is in danger of being swept out to sea!

The very last thing conservative-minded Nick needs is a moonlighting job and a crazy attraction to a dark-haired slip of a client who actually believes in magic. Tori insists a candle magic spell brought Nick to her door. Nick knows that’s ridiculous, but all the same, he and Tori react like candle and flame. Even as Nick finds himself falling hard, he convinces himself he can keep things light, and his heart safe, as long as he sticks to his number one rule of keeping his family and his social life separate.

Or maybe not.

I hope you’ll join Tori and Nick in the summer fun of A Little Light Magic, and give your family a big hug when you’re done. Because after all, where would we be without the people who make us the craziest?

All the best,

Joy

Whether writing in a contemporary, historical, or fantasy setting, Joy Nash explores the twists of the subconscious with stunning passion, quirky humor, and always, always, a happy ending. Joy lives in Pennsylvania with her gallant husband, her three spunky kids and a languid liver-spotted Dalmatian, who may in fact be part cat.

Joy Nash grew up writing her dreams. As a child she created the alternate universe of Blurpland, peopled by hairy purple characters, just to annoy her older sister. Sadly, none of this early work remains.

As an adult, Joy still writes her dreams--and occasionally her nightmares. She pens award-winning romance with a paranormal twist--stories filled with magic, mirth, and muscle. She firmly believes that anything is possible as long as you laugh and believe. Joy loves to hear from readers.
