The Christmas Curse

With disaster striking every Christmas, Devra Harrison knows her family is cursed—not that anyone would ever believe her. Now in her thirties, she’s become a reclusive coder with only her vicious pet cat and quirky robotics project to keep her company. When an overly friendly, holiday-obsessed man moves in next door, she’s certain he’s been sent by the curse to ruin her safe space.

 

Bradley is one-year sober and ready to get his life in order. With a new home and a promotion on the horizon he’s well on his way to a fresh start. The only problem? He’s inadvertently started a feud with his surly new neighbor.

 

After days of escalating tension involving a noisy Christmas display, an unfaithful cat, and a creepy nutcracker statue, Bradley and Devra have an unexpected heart-to-heart. As their over-the-fence shenanigans become friendlier, Devra lets down her walls. She tells Bradley about her family curse, and not only does he believe her, he vows to help her break it. But as Christmas looms closer, Devra fears disaster, and this time her heart may be at greatest risk, as she falls head-over-heels for a man struggling to separate his true feelings from his addictive tendencies.

 

The Christmas Curse is a rom-com with a touch of magic and spice, that will appeal to fans of The Ex-Hex, Get a Life Chloe Brown, and The Bodyguard.
