In this holiday romance with an enchanting twist, a magic-averse witch returns home to save her small town’s beloved winter festival in time for the holidays with the help of her estranged coven and distractingly handsome childhood rival.

Rowan Midwinter has sworn off magic after a spell gone wrong back in high school, so she’s not exactly thrilled when she’s guilted into returning to her quaint mountain hometown for the holiday season. But it’s already Yule and much-needed snow still hasn't fallen, so Rowan decides she can put up with her former coven and unwanted memories if it means saving the town’s beloved winter festival from the megacorporation threatening to buy it out.

But Rowan’s plans to save the beloved tradition and make it through the holiday magic-free go awry when Gavin McCreery, prodigal son of the festival’s landlord, insists on helping, and their unwanted chemistry keeps setting off holiday lights…literally.

As the end of the festive season draws closer and Rowan realizes what is truly at stake, she must reconnect with what she tried to leave behind, overcome the fear of her power, and let her heart lead the way.
“A magical delight of a debut. A Spell for Midwinter's Heart is brimming with cozy magic and yuletide charm. Morgan Lockhart's writing is yuletide soul food for my little witchy heart!” —Jenny Bayliss, author of A December to Remember

“Sparkling with festive spirit and sizzling chemistry, A Spell for Midwinter’s Heart is an enchanting, heartfelt tale of rekindled magic and second-chance love—perfect for a snowy winter’s night.”
—Auralee Wallace, national bestselling author of In the Company of Witches

"A Spell for Midwinter’s Heart is a must-read for anyone who wants to snuggle up with a romance this winter. With a hint of magic and a whole lot of charm, Lockhart weaves a story that will make you want to embrace all the enchantment and possibility of the season.
