Summary

What happens when every object in a house has an opinion... and isn't afraid to share it?
 
Professional thief Marnie Fleetfoot thought stealing the legendary Sword of Splendour would be just another job. She was wrong.
 
The moment she steps into the giant's enchanted house, Marnie discovers that everything talks back:
 
The carpet demands proper etiquette before allowing passage
 
The door requires elaborate compliments about its craftsmanship
 
The chandelier threatens to fall on anyone who doesn't appreciate its sacrifice
 
The alarm clock takes security very seriously (and very loudly)
 
Even the broom has retirement grievances
 
What follows is a hilariously chaotic heist as Marnie navigates opinionated furniture, judgmental portraits, and home accessories with serious attitude problems. Every step becomes a negotiation with objects that have decades of pent-up frustrations.
 
But the real twist? The sword she's been hired to steal might not be the treasure the King actually wants...
 
Perfect for anyone who's ever suspected their household items might be judging them.
 
A delightfully absurd fantasy adventure that proves the best magic is found in the most unexpected places.
Available since: 07/28/2025.
Print length: 39 pages.

    From the bestselling author of Nearlyweds comes a Christmas romance filled with all the best parts of the holiday season. When your job is to make everyone else's Christmas wishes come true, who will grant your wish? 
    Christmas concierge Holiday Smith, known as “the Wish Granter,” procures impossible-to-find gifts for her elite clients. But after years of granting everyone’s wishes but her own, she promises her family that this year she’ll finally make it home for Christmas. Just one tiny glitch: a favorite elderly client begs Holiday to set up her grown granddaughter on a blind date with her old high school crush, tech-world escapee Alex Sappier… who is somewhere off the coast of Maine. 
    Famously private, Alex flatly refuses a date with an old classmate he doesn’t even remember. And there’s nothing this beautiful stranger can do to persuade him. Unless she’d be willing to cast her wish-making magic on his own Christmas family crisis? 
    Holiday has less than a week to rescue Alex’s family’s Christmas, arrange a Christmas Eve blind date, and get herself home before a blizzard closes the roads - or before she and Alex give in to the growing attraction between them. As Holiday teams up with exactly the right man at exactly the wrong time, can she find a way to make her own wish for love come true this Christmas?
