They needed her to fall for the cursed author. Her heart had other plans.

Viola Winkle is addicted to romance novels. So much so, she rarely gives real men the time of day. Why should she, when characters such as Gatsby and Darcy are only a few pages away, waiting to sweep her off her feet? So when she receives an invitation to the premiere annual event in romance publishing, she's over the moon to attend. That is, until a freak storm, a troublesome pup, and a mysterious family of tree shifters (including an annoyingly handsome redwood) turn her fancy evening out into the last night she'll spend in 1954.

In 2024, Ethan Mills is the award-winning author whose gothic romance trilogy has taken the world by storm. His life and career are right where he wants them to be - until they're not. The sudden death of his brother and sister-in-law leaves him devastated and ill-equipped to care for the daughter they've left behind. His sorrow drives him to the woods, where a dark curse awaits.

Can a young librarian from the fifties break the curse before it turns him into a beast? Or does fate have another ending in store?

"Such fun! Hot tree shifters? A genderswapped modern retelling of Rip Van Winkle? A charming librarian as the main character? YES PLEASE. Curses, steamy moments, love, danger, and drama... it's all here, plus real romantic chemistry, tender family bonds, and lifelike characters. Loved it."
