Synopsis

Puppeteer Beatrice Snowdrop is well used to chatty dolls with attitude. Fortunately, headmistressy Miss Beatti knows how to discipline naughty toys. And how!
A failed relationship forces Beatti to shut up shop and hunker down for winter. The days become lonely and cold. She misses crafting dolls, but she isn't going to make another puppet or date another woman. Definitely not! 
Come springtime, old flame Evie Fine offers a cash prize for the best Easter doll. Beatti wonders if her ex wants to lure her back to the toy business or if she seeks to rekindle their relationship. Either way, temptation is difficult to resist and Beatti eventually crafts a new doll. 
Pokio ... Oh, Pokio, a feisty doll with cheek aplenty. She insults Beatti from the get-go and proves to be more than a handful. Worse, Pokio can read her mistress's innermost thoughts, and can spot a fib a mile away. 
Quite soon the strings controlling Pokio are abandoned. It's Miss Beatti who does as she's told and Pokio who calls the shots. Switching roles is fun! They forget every rule of doll making and instead notice each other as women. 
Pokio develops into a loving, thoughtful doll who adores her mistress. Exactly what Beatti needs. It's only natural and right when affection blossoms like the spring flowers. 
A kiss is shared, an ancient spell released. Can a doll become a real woman? What does real even mean?

    An unexpected collaboration between two authors that’s hot enough to spark a fire... 
     Chase 
    After an excruciating loss, I’m desperate for a fresh start. 
    Away from the painful memories. 
    Away from everyone I know and anyone who knows my story. 
    That’s how I end up in Eagle’s Landing, Pennsylvania. 
    As a bestselling author, my main reason for moving to a remote mountain cabin is to overcome the writer’s block that crushed my creativity for the past two years. My hope is to rediscover my words in the quiet, small town where no one knows me. Or my past. 
    A place where I can blend in enough that I become invisible. 
      
    Rett 
    Even though Chase, one of my favorite authors, insists he wants to be left alone, I refuse to let him wallow in whatever’s drowning him. 
    As a local bookstore owner and author myself, I’m intrigued by the man who’s a master of the written word. Unfortunately, his social skills could use a lot of work. 
    Even so, I’m determined to pull the irritable and frustrating man out of the dark pit he’s fallen into and back to the surface, no matter how hard he fights it. I only hope dragging Chase down that fiery path just might reignite his spark and that I don’t get burned in the process. 
    Note: This is a slow-burn, emotional romance that deals with love after loss. Please check the content warning before reading or purchasing. Find it on my website here: https://www.jeannestjames.com/reignitingchase. This standalone has a guaranteed HEA, no cheating and no cliffhanger.
