For Tori Morgan, familyโs a blessing the universe hasnโt sent her way. Her parents are long gone, her chance of having a baby is slipping away, and the only thing she can call her own is a neglected old house. What she wants more than anything is a place where she belongsโฆand a big, noisy clan to share her life. For Nick Santangelo, familyโs more like a curse. His nonna is a closet kleptomaniac, his momโs a menopausal time bomb and his motherless daughter is headed for serious boy trouble. The last thing Nick needs is another female making demands on his time. But summer on the Jersey shore can be an enchanted season, when lifeโs hurts are soothed by the ebb and flow of the tides and love can bring together the most unlikely prospects. A hard-headed contractor and a lonely reader of Tarot cards and crystal prisms? All it takes isโฆA LITTLE LIGHT MAGIC.
Author Notefamily fam-i-ly [fam-uh-lee, fam-lee] โnoun
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 โ no one knows how to push your buttons better than family. The bigger the family, the more button-pushers to dodge. (I should know โ 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 sheโs 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 wonโt 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. Nickโs 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, thatโs not a good thing!) Nickโs family frustrations are compounded by his kleptomaniac nonna, his menopausal mother, and a younger brother whoโs missing work at Nickโs company in favor of soap opera auditions. No wonder Nickโs 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 thatโs 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 youโll join Tori and Nick in the summer fun of A Little Light Magic, and give your family a big hug when youโre done. Because after all, where would we be without the people who make us the craziest?
All the best,
Joy
