An old tale whispers of love as the snow falls. And then of a broken heart…

Carrie Morgan expects trouble on her return to the mountain town of Woodsmoke after ten years. But it is a beautiful stranger who awaits her, and with whom Carrie begins to fall in love.

Carrie’s family warn that her new love is a curse. If Carrie is to embrace the power from her family’s book of spells, she must trade something to lift the curse. But at what price?

There is always a choice to be made. Even when it comes to love…

Praise for Woodsmoke Women's Book of Spells ‘Curl up cosy with something like this magical story of Carrie Morgan coming home… Ahh!’ Peterborough Telegraph Praise for Rachel Greenlaw and One Christmas Morning ‘Haunting, magical and sparkling with Christmas spirit, One Christmas Morning is a festive love story with a difference. A clever and cathartic novel about healing, grief, facing up to ourselves and letting go, it tugged on my heartstrings and took me through every emotion possible. A warm and powerful debut’ Holly Miller, The Sight of You 'Perfectly heartwarming' The Debut Digest 'The book I didn't know I needed to read – gorgeous, Christmassy and compelling’ Ella Allbright, The Last Charm ‘Wonderfully heart-warming, One Christmas Morning is a beautifully festive second-chance romance that made me cry, filled my heart with hope, and cast a magical spell on me until I’d turned the very last page’ M.A. Kuzniar, Midnight in Everwood ‘One Christmas Morning by Rachel Greenlaw is a festive treat. An intelligent, romantic story of star-crossed lovers, I was completely absorbed by the millennial Scrooge Eva’s predicament. Greenlaw’s debut is a shimmering success’ Laura Shepperson, The Heroines
