She lives between the pages of other people’s happy endings. He’s a runaway prince with one chance to find his own.
Cassie Bennett has always believed in magic. It’s why she stayed in Snowball Falls, helping her mother run the town’s beloved bookshop, where the cocoa is always warm and the books are wrapped like presents.
She’s content recommending fairy tales to strangers and keeping her own heart safely out of reach.
Then James walks into the shop.
He has a posh accent, no idea what a toaster strudel is and a way of looking at Cassie as though she’s the only story he wants to read. He’s funny, kind and completely out of place in Snowball Falls. He’s also keeping a secret large enough to attract several newspapers and at least one constitutional headache.
James is really Prince Leif of Nordreim, hiding from the royal life he never chose.
One kiss beneath the town’s ancient oak leads to stolen evenings, whispered wishes and the sort of connection Cassie thought belonged in books. For the first time, Leif can imagine a life shaped by his own choices. Cassie begins to wonder whether her quiet corner of Snowball Falls might have room for something extraordinary.
Secrets have a tiresome habit of surfacing. When Leif’s identity becomes international news, reporters descend and their cozy winter wonderland turns into a royal spectacle.
As the legendary Winter Star appears for the first time in a generation, Cassie must decide whether loving a prince means surrendering the life she treasures. Leif must choose between the expectations waiting at home and the woman who finally makes him feel at home.
A Wish on the Winter Star is a sweet, closed-door Christmas romance filled with secret royalty, bookshop magic, snow-kissed wishes and a fairy-tale love beneath the twinkle lights.
